        Your hopium wont change reality, civilian deaths will most likely be in thousands if not hundreds of thousands if these guys do boots on the ground.

      I’ll take 4999 body bags and one survivor that the rest of us can ridicule. Fuck the Marines, every single one of them.

          When I was a teenager, I knew that killing 165 little girls is a bad thing to do. I understood that torture is a bad thing to do. Also, the average age of marines is about 25. Most of them are not teenagers.

            I agree. Just know the news they see is 100% different than what the other half of the population sees. Everyone gets news from Facebook and influencers. It’s all according to who they watch. Also, those people sign up for years at a time. When they asked National Guard to be on streets to help ICE, many didn’t show up or were threatening not to. Things were not this bad when Biden was in office.

            In any case, every one of those guys are probably going to die. It sounds like a suicide mission to rally citizens around the cause. Not sure if it will work.

          Still doesn’t excuse raping foreign civilians out of boredom or overlooking your friends doing it tho.

          I understand. I probably would have done the same if I grew up like they did. It still would have been unfair for me not suffer any consequences.
