This answer is an extension of the Trump sycophancy. They’re programmed to pivot into defend-at-all-costs mode. That’s how you end up with something as morally bankrupt as “this is what they signed up for.” Imagine responding with anything other than “I am heartbroken for this tragic loss of life.”

Republicans certainly were not saying that, with the tragic deaths of serviceman, during the Afghanistan withdrawal. Their hypocrisy is sickening.

Maybe they did. Maybe they signed up to die at the whim of a madman. Remember only a 1/3 of us didn't sign up for this fucking shit. It isn't the 1/3 that voted for this that turned me into a nihilist. It was the 1/3 that couldn't be bothered to vote at all. They chose those soldiers' death first.

MAGATS are cold blooded creatures. Remember Joni Ernst on Medicaid cuts? "Well we're all going to die." They're reptiles!

If you sign up for the military to "defend" anything you're the exact kind of mark the military wants; someone too stupid to realize a military on a continent surrounded by oceans isn't "defending" anything from anyone.

And sacrifice for what exactly? An unnecessary illegal war that very few people outside of Israel wants. They died serving their country & others will die also, but it will be for nothing. No good reason. Worse than that fool Dubya. Rs are just devoid of brains and feelings.

Trump and his incompetent regime refuse to give constant true answers regarding their illegal war in Iran. The answers to why a war with Iran and when is it over gets totally different answers depending on who is answering the questions Trump, Rubio or Hegseth. Americans demand answers to these

questions and not double talk. The one thing for certain is this war is has nothing to do with nation-building or establishing democracy. It is about oil, hate and stopping people including Netanyahu from talking about the Epstein Files.

I was in, along with millions of others. I knew what the dangers were. But I never thought a corrupt, criminally-incompetent, morally bankrupt President would starti wars for his own self-aggrandizement, and in order to distract from his crimes. Back then, morality played a role in government.

You actually ARE as Stupid as you look! NO Son or Daughter "signed up" to keep a Pedo out of Prison. They, like the Congress, took an Oath to defend a Democratic Country and the Constitution by which it is Governed. You and his Traitor💩supporters are the People Murdering Innocents! 🖕🏻Fascist Bitch🖕🏻!

What I heard her say was "F*ck their sacrifice. This is what they sighed up for." I truly hope all those out there who voted for this to happen during the last election are having a really great time.

The drunk bathroom monitor speaks. She's more outraged by a transgender person using a bathroom she deems sacrosanct than the craven sacrifice of a life for Trump's vanity war. I thought loss of life was sacrosanct. Oh. That's right. Only unborn fetuses & white "Christian" children.

Republicans are STUNNINGLY cold, selfish, heartless,WEAK, self-serving, arrogant, corrupt, disrespectful, cruel, dishonest. They've SOLD THEIR SOULS & BETRAYED Wthe people of the US, including Why? For a malignant narcissistic, greedy baby-man who ONLY wants $$ & to stay OUT OF PRISON - 34 FELONIES🤬

This is exactly how Russia's horrific losses in Ukraine are explained away at home by Putin's regime and the people buy it: "Well, it's bad, but at the end of the day, they got well paid to go there, didn't they? Nobody forced them to sign that contract, right?"

Hi all, just sent out this piece. The US bombing of Iran has revealed a great deal already, maybe most worryingly how far down the road to Putinizing the US Government Trump has already walked. We even have the humiliatingly comic shoes to prove it. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...
