All those supporting the US war with Iran should be drafted and sent there to fight it.

I’m ready. I’ve fought in three and a fourth is no problem, especially against Iran, a country that’s killed and tortured my friends and countrymen since 1979.

Sorry, but with all due respect you have been sold a lie.

If you have have fought in 3 and are ready and willing to go fight again it's very likely that you are experiencing post traumatic stress, one of the symptoms is feeling out of place at home among civilians and feeling like your place is on the front lines with your brothers in arms.

I worked with veteran's and took care of them for 30 years and i can tell you that the powers that (shouldn't) be, those who send you to war and demand your loyalty don't have your back. I've witnessed this by the denial of service connected disabilities by first denying they exist until enough of those eligible have died off and shrunk the group of potential recipients to a size that is in their opinion more financially feasible. It happened with agent orange, its happening with camp lejeune.

I do have much RESPECT for you and the millions of men and women like you who volunteered to serve your country either during the first gulf war (remember gulf war syndrome?) Or after the death and destruction of 9/11, but we need you and the young men of this country here, within our borders. This is not your fight, and it is not their fight but sending the able bodied men and the bulk of our weopans out of the country in proxy wars leaves us very vulnerable. I don't know and i don't care where anyone stands on feminism and it doesn't really matter bc i don't know one man who would stay home while the mother of his children or even grandchildren is drafted and sent to fight a war in another country, and i expect this threat to be hinted at to mobilize the young.

So my point is: stay here, we need you, and encourage the young men to stay here we need them even more.

In the (unlikely) event of a foreign invasion into this country, we need the young able bodied men and those with wisdom to guide them as we protect ourselves.

If you can encourage the young to stay here where they belong, i promise that everytime i get solicited for a donation from an organization that provides funds for disabled veterans i will not only donate but i will call, email and do everything i can to shame our legislators and the veterans administration for not adequately compensating our disabled veterans and forcing them to rely on charitable donations. We wouldn't accept that from any other corporation.

Enough people still believe the official narrative. The few of us who are awake won't make a difference. Just like regarding black criminality, a certain powful tribe, or Covid.
