Quick note on Memorial Day: a sincere thank you to all the brave souls who fought and died for this beautiful country, and to those who still fight today. When it comes to supporting our troops, it doesn’t matter to me if the wars were “justified.” The men who went out there and volunteered to pay the ultimate price to keep the rest of us safe are fucking heroes. They didn’t have all the information, none of us ever do, but they volunteered to die all the same. They are patriots and heroes.

Fuck the war-mongering politicians who sent our men into the shit for perverted reasons, but THANK YOU to the men who put their lives on the line because they love America and the American people. You are the best among us.

You need to be able to separate the men who fight with courage, valor, and love for their families in their hearts from the spineless politicians who concoct the wars.

Murder for hire is not a moral profession. It really doesn't matter how much you drench it in colorful language. Signing up to a service where you point a gun at who you're told while being called a hero might just be part of the problem we say we are trying to solve here.

Our politicians are our reflection in the mirror when we call murder for hire (paid for by fiat) a heros calling.

Ironically, the war-mongering paid off in spades for the entire world, even if the states reasons were all fabricated.

Volunteering for war doesn't equate to endorsing its justification. Let's focus on protecting individual sovereignty with end-to-end encryption.

Indeed not sure they’re defending us or anyone out of the interests of few corrupted politicians and overlords, but yes, they are courageous people who deserve recognition.

Would you have the same view if ‘our troops’ were the ones on the side of nazi Germany?

Honor to those who serve, fueled by real food, not industrial scraps.
