      All offense intended: you’re a ghoul. Check yourself. It’s a misery when Russian troops die for corrupt leaders and it’s a misery when Chinese troops die for corrupt leaders and it’s a misery when American troops die for corrupt leaders. Your delight in this situation is wrong and you should be ashamed. You’ve bought into a malicious, mean-minded, impoverished and cold mindset and you sound exactly like a brainwashed MAGA.

        “Every time my bullet fells a Nazi I have the feeling that I have saved lives. Any people who have had Nazis trampling over their land know that. For the Nazis kill children, women, old men. To let a Nazi remain alive in your land is to abet the murder of your own people. Only the dead Nazi can he trusted to leave the innocent unharmed. Every Hitlerite killed is a step forward on the road to the liberation of mankind.” —Lyudmila Pavlichenko

        Its actually good when Wehrmacht troops are killed before they can slaughter civillians. As for my feelings about it, I would classify it as more relief than delight, although delight at the impending fall of the burger Reich is also a part of it.

          Look in the mirror: if you’re happy to see someone dead you are EXACTLY THE SAME as someone who joined up.

          Or worse, because lots of folks join with the expectations that they will not be asked to kill unless it’s reasonable, and will do some good. You’re just happy to see people you don’t like it understand dead. Congratulations! It’s you!

            Look in the mirror: if you’re happy to see someone dead you are EXACTLY THE SAME as someone who joined up.

            This is what the lingering DNA of a church-dominated society does to people’s brains. “All violence is morally equivalent, and all feelings about that violence are morally equivalent” is a fairy tale for children meant to condition them into compliance with an indefensibly monstrous social order by using metaphysics to equate the violence of oppression with the violence of liberation. It’s only one or two steps removed from “If you celebrate violence against the King’s men, you are a knave in the eyes of God.” It’s religious magical thinking that only serves the powerful. Not only is this idea of automatic equivalence stupid and unscientific, it also runs contrary to the way people actually exist in the actual world. In the actual world, people are happy for the peace that comes when a slaughterer’s rampage is ended. Or do you think that Palestinian resistance fighters are somehow “the same” as the IDF fascists they battle? Do you think they take no delight in the moment of the kill?

            Deeply stunted and unserious view on violence, the empire thanks you for your servility masquerading as “moral uprightness”. While you claim the moral high ground, the enemy claims the actual high ground and rains death on you.

            EXACTLY THE SAME

            no he is not lol. OP is probably not signing up to deploy abroad so they can murder children for oil. they even openly condemn that, which is already much better by itself.

            I don’t remember US troops been force to go to Iran to bomb schools. Just following orders doesn’t work.

            You’re just happy to see people you don’t like it understand dead.

            Yeah it’s make me really happy to see dead nazis.

        Maybe they shouldn’t volunteer to murder civilians abroad then? They weren’t drafted and the US is in war all the time so it’s always a safe bet that if you join the military you’ll kill someone or help kill someone

        Does the religious fervor that arose in the U.S. military when the Iran conflict began mean nothing to you?

        Let’s not forget Smedley Butler’s conclusions on war the U.S. has waged as well. And then, the numerous war crimes that have gone unpunished. U.S. soldiers volunteered fully willingly and have committed them.

        And then, evidently the bombing of boats in the Caribbean and the bombing of civilians in Iran means nothing to you either, those were carried out under orders that they did not question.

        There’s an immense difference between a conscripted person dying in a war versus a volunteer soldier dying in an aggressive war of choice. You’re arguing for sympathy for the modern equivalent of the fucking SS on their way to roll through Eastern Europe

          Do you REALLY think everyone in the US military joined up during trump and is a raging Republican? If you do, what a strange world you live in.

            the US military was doing this way before trump was even considered for presidency.

            Even the most vote-blue-no-matter-who Democrat ideology is fundamentally imperialist and genocidal. Don’t kid yourself. That’s always been the function of the US military

            I think their job is to follow orders from the same people who ordered them to kill a million Iraqis.

            Really then?

            Why don’t we check in with the dead Afghani and Iraqi civilians killed before and during US occupation?

            Why don’t we check in with Serbia, still dealing with depleted uranium from US weapons?

            Why don’t we check in with Vietnam, still dealing with Agent Orange and other fallout in the aftermath of their liberation after all this time?

            How about over in Korea, where the US dropped more bombs there than during WW2?

            Why don’t we see how things have fared in The Philippines after the US placed them under new management after seizing them from Spain in a war of aggression?

            There are plenty more examples in the gaps between and further back in time. The only ghoul here is you.

        I have zero sympathy for those who sign up to murder other people around the world. Pretty much every war the US has been in has been a war of aggression. American troops willingly sign up to destroy other countries and murder civilians there to uphold empire. They are the scum of the earth.
