I mean, the strongest anti-war proponents I know are all basically veterans. Why?

"I don't want to die for some retarded bullshit."

The point is to just not start wars you don't need to. If you end up in a war, you really have to fight your way out of it, even if you intend to lose, just so that you don't get fuck annihilated.

In college, I agreed with the concept of the drone program, just potentially not it's breadth. The fact that I stopped getting pushback on that surprised me quite a bit.

I genuinely laughed when I heard about Solemani. I've never seen a president just straight up smoke a bitch... he literally shit talked himself to death... but those are exactly the kind of targeted killings that are useful. A critical individual in enemy infrastructure. Not just bombing a wedding and hoping you get a few of the right people. Where I go further than most people is saying that you might have to drone strike lower-level technical experts like bomb-makers and financiers because their actual skills are very hard for the enemy to replace.
