we wouldn’t be doing that, we voted for President that will end all the wars, not start new ones

I think you have "war" confused with "blowing up people we're suspicious of". It goes perfectly with "imprisoning and/or deporting people we're suspicious of".

And by “suspicious of” you mean “bigoted against”.

Turns out "anti-woke" was just a rebrand of good old bigotry. I am shocked.

it's only war if it's from the Middle East region of the world, otherwise it's just sparkling law enforcement

I served. While in basic training, the drill sergeants taught us why we salute differently than other countries (probably apocryphal) - because we've "never lost a war". I'm cheeky now and I was then, so I asked about vietnam.

"Police Action" came the terse reply. "We don't talk about that one."

Course by then I'd already signed on the dotted, so...

We’ve never lost a war but we’ve definitely failed to accomplish our objectives a few times along the way. We built the greatest hammer the world has ever seen then asked it to saw lumber and wondered why it failed.

we may need to look up a definition of “won” in the dictionary cause we didn’t win a war exactly 80 years :)

mattmaroon 11 hours ago | parent [-]

That’s not true at all. We just don’t talk much about the ones we won.

Last year I went to Grenada, which we invaded in the 80s. They love us for it and have statues of Reagan on the island. Without us, they probably would have suffered the same fate as Cuba.

Where would South Korea be without our intervention? Etc.

TIL that we won the Korean War and also a Grenada War :)

Curious here, what's the different salute?

pksebben 11 hours ago | parent [-]

palm-down. If you've ever seen the brits salute, it's palm-forward.

Nicolas, Uday, and Qusay Maduro have 48 hours to leave Venezuela. Until then, we have not launched a special military operation.

Yes. The tanker plane with its turned off transponder off the coast is totally not a military operation.

Real quick, I'm trying to remember a word, it's on the tip of my tongue. It's when one country uses military force in order to make another country have significant internal political changes. Just on the tip of my tongue....

As if these kind of people care about such a threat. They do not care about "their" country, "their" country is a resource they control. They very much prefer to sacrifice the whole countries population until the tanks stand in front of their bunker and then they take the "clean self-exit".
