Obligatory US troop copypasta

You see american choppers in the bright blue sky, hundreds and hundreds of screaming american soldiers drop from it, you look across the field and see the tanks rolling in. You hear a loud explosion and realise that the shrine you have protected for thousands of years with tooth and nail is destroyed by the empire, you come to the realisation that this is very probably the end of your people who’ve struggled to survive all these centuries.You realise that very soon there is going to be a river of blood of your people here; white phosphorus and depleted uranium will be shot very soon, deforming babies for decades to come, and millions of your people are gonna be killed. Your millennia old language and religion will be wiped out, you’re very likely the last of your kind.

Suddenly, an American soldier kicks you down, puts his foot on your neck and aims his standard ar-15 on the side of your head all while screaming; you realise you’re gonna die, and you won’t have to see the destruction of your community that you fostered so carefully all these centuries for.

Just before he pulls the trigger, you think to yourself, “To be fair to him, he probably had a low GPA in highschool and didnt have a health-care, those are notoriously hard to get in America”.

And then run for Senate in Maine

Honestly, most good (Anti) War Movies i know are set in Vietnam.

When i think of movies in the middle east, it´s US Slopaganda like Jarhead, Blackhawk Down and American Sniper

the real horror of doing war crimes is that some people doing them will get sad and will need validation

Not before they make 10 movies about how great their job in bringing democracy to said country was

Remember Jarhead with Jake Gyllenhaal?
They were literally depressed because they didn't get to shoot enough people..

I believe the original source for this joke is Frankie Boyle: https://youtu.be/yZOLq82m2Ks

I mean, wouldn't you be depressed after slaughtering several clearly unarmed families?

You're not wrong.

The people who make movies about depressed soldiers are usually trying to make an anti-war statement. American is not homogenous. There are people who bomb without remorse and people who try to point that we shouldn't do that. Bombing without remorse is not something that can only be tied to one country. It can be tied to psychopaths of which quite a few have weaseled their way into power.

The slave trade was stopped not by trying to garner sympathy for the slaves, but for the slave traders dying at sea. Hard to get people to care about people who look different to them. Then again in the age of drone warfare I don't think this can be applied "directly" to modern conflict.

The perpetrators are obviously the victims./s

Anybody seen Warfare? I thought it was a great movie. Loved how they didn’t tell you at all what the mission was. Cause it didn’t matter.
