You posted the meme. It's a US flag on a coffin. If this wasn't about the US, then WTF are you even talking about?

'soldiers with honor' - okay, so you get to define honor, and then the only position that matters is yours.

And again...based on the imagery in your meme, I've been talking about America. Were you always talking about some hidden motive?

Maybe think through what you believe. Just sayin'.

Hi, I'm going to need you to look up the definition of 'conscription' before we continue talking.

Why do you keep trying to deflect this to foreign countries and how they function? I don't need your analogies to understand your lack of logic. American soldiers are not conscripted. They are a fully volunteer force that takes a paycheck. If anything, they are essentially mercenaries.

So...Trump is forcing Americans to die for foreign wars.

But...
"Soldiers being killed outside your national borders is not a war declaration."

^^ I'm trying to understand the internal logical consistency. ^^

- Also, I don't care about Russians or Ukrainians. That's an odd attempt at an analogy.

On January 28, 2024, three US soldiers were killed and more than 40 were wounded in a drone attack on the 'Tower 22' site on the Jordanian–Syrian border.

Since the war with Iran began in February 2026, Pentagon figures indicate that 18 US troops have been killed and 624 wounded.
