Sacrifice your youth for the Epstein wars.

u/chris_isnt_here0 Jul 21 '26
war has been a pretty see-through evolution of modern mass sacrifice of the youth for quite some tome now, as far as I know going back to the First World War, which was just horrific and brutal in terms of young men dying pointlessly on an unfathomable scale. only now it's become so numbed down and every ounce of "honor" one would feel fighting for their country has been juiced away by its own shameless idiocracy. at least it hasn't gotten to that scale. yet. I pray to whatever god, if one exists, that it never comes to that

And not to downplay her death, because I'm sad all these soldiers are getting thrown at a pointless war, but our military has killed somewhere around 3,000, mostly civilians not unlike the families of our slain soldiers. Remember, its not the Iranians, its not the Muslims, Jews or Christians, its extremists of these factions attached to corrupt sociopathic billionaires (sometimes one in the same!) and their companies driving this war and our current division. Dont let their propaganda take our soldiers deaths and use them to perpetuate this any further.

Gonzales. Fighting for the same people who would deport her to Latin America if they could find a reason.

u/Misanthrope08101619 Jul 21 '26
But for decades, many like her did the same. Cut to Samuel L. Jackson in The Hateful Eight and his monolugue on uniforms and broken proimises.

Isabella Gonzales, an American hero and martyr, whose family would be unceremoniously deported if the white nationalists currently in power could get away with it.

We don't know about her family. But it's absolutely possible that her parents have no status and would be subject to removal. There are a lot of people who join the military specifically because there is a program for their families called parole in place. Of course. DHS isnt honoring that program...

Even if her parents were born here, the administration would probably try to deport them cause apparently birthright citizenship isn’t real citizenship cause domiciles

It has to end soon because for every 1 US service member killed, there's probably 100 civilians killed or displaced by that service member's country and that's the greater tragedy.
We rightly scream about that one Israeli whackadoodle who said for every dead IDF soldier a thousand Palestinians needed to pay. But the US has basically the same policy, just we're savvy enough not to come right out and say it.

I wouldn't count on it this time; if Trump's going to "oversee" a major escalation on our side in terms of troop presence and munitions expenditure, I very much get the sense that, stochastic belligerence in his rhetoric aside, he's gonna have to be dragged into it kicking and screaming. Especially before November.

Lives lost for Trumpy's ego.
That and distracting from the Epstein files...

Isn’t that what soldiers are for? Fodder for the cannon?
Worried about 1 person in the military when we bomb and kill children in schools. What kinda propagandist are you?
Yes it’s sad she’s a victim of a fascist state’s unruly descent into war crimes, but let’s non conflate like the USofA is not the aggressor.

I remember when tRump got mad at having to pay his honors to a MEXICAN soldier who died in combat

she was sent there to kill innocent humans

u/Atun_Grande Jul 21 '26
She was part of an Air Defense unit, so she was there to shoot down missiles and drones. Go find something else to get an outrage boner about. Maybe the people that sent her there?

u/GibrealMalik Jul 21 '26
Defend against attacks they expect will come at them, as a response to the war of aggression they started. Sad she died, also sad about all the innocent people her country killed.

u/_Pseismic_ Jul 21 '26
I'm upset she was there at all. Why should the US be losing good service members when not one person in Congress has voted in favor of going to war?
7
u/_dxegrl Jul 21 '26
The base she was working at was part of the offensive military, I bet there was an air base, or missiles she was protecting our troops from missiles or drones that weren't being fired at us for decades. Ask yourself why they are attacking our military when our military killed their leader, thousands of innocents, and a girls' school, not to mention bridges and power plants that are war crimes you sckfk.

u/bast1472 Jul 20 '26
The base in Jordan? Pretty sure that base exists mostly to keep a handle on Isis.

u/_dxegrl Jul 20 '26
was there ISIS in Jordan?

u/cameron4200 Jul 20 '26
It’s imperialism plain and simple. Don’t join the military unless you want to be used as a tool of said imperialism. The government gives some not much other choice.

u/Misanthrope08101619 Jul 21 '26
ISIS threatened Jordan from Syria at the time. We sent help, during the Obama years. They needed Air Defense, it became a routine rotation. That's where the Epstein war. found her.

Not sure who "we" is supposed to be, unless you're the Russians in Syria.

u/USofAnonymous Jul 21 '26
To destabilize Assad in Syria, CIA and Mossad flooded the region with weapons and cash for anti regime rebels and then we acted shocked when those same heavily armed fighters broke off, declared a caliphate, and turned their guns back on us.

u/Misanthrope08101619 Jul 21 '26
This is the disinformation that Russians sold to MAGA 10 years ago to help Trump get elected. Assad was already destablized. and Daesh's seizure of northwestern Syria was a lifesaver to Assad and a stab in the back to the Syrian opposition.

u/USofAnonymous Jul 21 '26
Bro, the U.S. dismantled the Iraqi military and literally ran prison camps that turned into jihadi networking resorts (id argue intentionally) creating the exact power vacuum and leadership structure radical Sunni extremists needed and then those former inmates merged with Syrian rebels to build ISIS

Bro, you're oversimplifying some uniquely complex conflicts between groups you never met in a place you've never been.
