A draft would be terrible. All jokes aside, having the"millennial" crowd drafted would result in so many deaths. Imagine having the lady that was screaming in the restaurant having your back in a Firefight lol

I remembered I had to help contractors shoot the m16s. There was people literally holding it like a bazooka in cartoons

America is the best nation on earth

And failing at bombing the terrorism out of the Middle East is proof of that? Senseless war is certainly at the top of my list if someone asks me to sell them on America.

Lol if it's such a bad country why do countless people cross the border everyday in search of a better life ?

I know I have been very critical of America, but "pointless war is not a good thing about us" is not the same as "America has no redeeming qualities and is just the worst".

Defeating the evil that was nazi Germany and Japan sounds pretty good to me. Or did none of that happen

TIL that the results of WW2 like Jews being liberated came as a result of war

Money, free travel, more free benefits for being deployed again. Most of all, doing some cool shit

Nothing better than being with the same group of people doing shit like room clearing, or riding in humvees


So it's not the combat aspect, more just being deployed with the guys?

I would never want to kill someone but if got down to ot sure. I always volunteer to be the 249 gunner in humvee rides. I willingly volunteered to be on the forced cell extraction team on my deployment


Outside of for our own personal rewards, would you support the US entering?

I will support the US and our president. Personally i wouldnt want to have boots on ground


Soon one less shitposter

That's a very mature response


Give a stupid statement get a stupid response

I work with veterans of Iraq/Afghanistan. Most of the guys who are eager to go there to fuck shit up have never actually had to fuck shit up.

My grandparents both served in combat and won't discuss a lot of the things that happened.

I have worked around guys that actually miss being in the scrap but most don't look back but so fondly of the experience. Perhaps this is why PTSD is a thing now.

We shouldn't try to glorify war. I say this as a red-blooded Trump voting relatively conservative individual.

Or fuck up some isis

Its just funny when politcians are like we're sending these young men and women to war!!!

Literally everyone in the unit i deployed with and the unit im in now posted on FB that hopefully we get to do something


Its great money, earn some medals, do some hooah shit

It earns a lot of respect too when you aren't a fobbit


Are any of those good reasons to spend all the money and lose all of the lives (both American, Syrian military, and civilians) that a war would cost?

Yeah. That is exactly it. It isn't like a terrorist organization is threatening to forcefully takeover a country.

We've done so good stopping terrorism from dominating the Middle East the last 16 years.

It's as natural as can be. Human nature. There are warriors the same way there are those who sit on the back lines and fret and wring their hands. You should be grateful there are men brave enough to fight.

That being said, I don't want to get in Syria. It's funny that all the world leaders are so far cautioisly supporting Trump.

So they're down to talk a lot of shit, but when it's time for action, the bitch in them shows.

having your life in danger 2 times and not even a firefight is nothing like real war

you don't even understand what you are asking

being on the field while chemical weapons are exploding around you and the men to your left and right are falling dead is nothing like base duty

And yet what is the reason we bombed the Syrians this morning? Ah Chemical weapons.

Also it is much different fighting small loosely coherent groups of terrorists than it is to fight trained Russian forces. Do you think differently?
Or you think America can send troops to Syria and Russia won't care?

And if they chemical attacks against our army it goes against geneva conventions. The world would flip even more than gassing their own. Every country would be gunning for syria

Intelligent people like who? The generals who help the president make calls? This topic has showed me that so many of you are ignorant of the military and especially our pay. Smartest people I ever knew are military.

your thread is literally about you military guys wanting to put your boots in Syria and get a huge pay and other things for doing so


gassing their own violates UN laws actually, so no, using Chem weapons in war is not worse

so you admit then it is relevant to remind you that your raise means you will be shot at while gas is blowing up around you killing your buddies?

part of the Iraq War was because it was said Saddam did similar things to his own people

UN Law isn't a binding contract that demands an (armed) response from every countries that agreed to the Geneva Convention. The US isn't compelled to act to what amounts as a Syrian domestic issue.
I mean Genocide doesn't exactly sit well with UN laws either, but you didn't see major participation from the US, Britain, or Belgium in stopping the Rwanda Genocide.

Attacking the US, a NATO coalition member, however is.

but when I reminded you what a war looks like you backpedaled

sounds to me like you want more of an occupation where the enemy has to hide and do dirty tactics like IEDs and only get your life in danger twice, neither in a gunfight

rather than a war

Correction: We weren't allowed to complete our mission, the world and the American public called for our exit, so we complied. Naturally, the power vacuum was filled. Fairly quickly, I might add.

Defense analysts and experts all predicted someone else worse would take over, and it happened.

This is one that really can't be blamed on America beyond "why did you leave before finishing" to which the answer is "because that's what you fucking wanted us to do"
