The topic was why it took the shitlibs and Hasanabi-watching leftists (lol) a fucking tattoo to denounce Graham Platner, an Iraq veteran who did 4 trips to the war zone and then joined the Blackwater mercenary company to kill even more people.

Counter point, I signed up for 4 years active (which means another 4 years inactive reserve) when I was 17 a few years before 9/11, Afghanistan and Iraq.
Before being sent with the invasion and occupation forces it was an eye opening experience where all the “military people are serious and competent” advertising was completely stripped away. After wondering how nobody on “my side” hadn’t gotten me killed during the invasion and occupation and we had zero ability to actually help any of the Iraqis whose country we just broke, there was absolutely zero reason to stick around.
I got lucky and my four years ended right after my unit was rotated out of Iraq back to garrison. There was no attempt to stop loss me. But I absolutely refused any conversations about reenlisting and made no effort to report to the military reserve unit I was ordered to.
It was simple and easy.
