his cia warbucks cutout burned enough to allow CIA a foothold for years of terror while now they only occupy 1/3 the country to leave 10 million food insecure. where are kurds now after years of his war touring and theft, nowhere better. there is nothing to excuse this
Can you link a video? I looked at CivDiv's Youtube and couldn't find anything specific about this.
first of all he said it was the reason
and something aint gotta personally affect me to be bad. I don't know enough about middle eastern geopolitics to say definitively whether it's true, but I will take Aide's word and NanoCap's implicit agreement at face value and assume that, indeed, he fought with groups at separate times that were ideologically opposed to one another. so it's safe to say that he doesn't do this for the advancement of his own ideology, he does it, like I said, because he is bored. and he can't even be bothered to pick a side while getting his kicks. again I don't know enough about the conflicts to criticize the exact groups he fought with based on what they did (and it doesn't help that he never said specifically, but in some cases it's easier to infer than others), but I reckon drydess is probably correct on that
Trouble re-adapting into civilian life is not uncommon. In context by boredom he really means that he doesn't know what else to do with himself. It's a sad reality, I'm not going to go into a spiel though because I'm sure you know war affects those who serve negatively lol
It's pretty common for military bodies to paid to fight on this or that side of wars (which is stuffty), but if he's just fighting on essentially whoever's side he can get on for the sake of fighting I agree that's pretty awful and he needs to go to a therapist or something.
Some men just want to watch the world burn.To me, boredom =/= bad. Also I and most others agree the US invasions of Aghanistan/Iraq were unjustified, but I wouldn't go as far to say everyone who served are ethically irredeemable. Most people who enlisted did not fully understand what they were getting into, or the optics of the conflict, or were victims of propaganda that didn't tell the true story. This is the case for most wars. I'd argue most (but not all) veterans regardless of what side they were on or conflict they served in are victims to a degree and deserve sympathy. There isn't a clear cut good and bad, it's a bit more complicated than that.
