It would be the first time since the beginning of the war that a U.S. jet was downed by enemy fire.

    I expected the downvotes. Too many americans are so brainwashed to never criticize their troops and are blind to the propaganda they been fed every day since elementary school. Can we really blame them for actually believing it and not having a proper moral compass? I don’t know, but the glorification of the military over there is absolutely disgusting.

      It’s true it’s cultural indoctrination, but at this point there’s no sympathy here. The indoctrination and dumbifying of the American population is in itself a national crime against humanity.

      There is enough objectively reliable information out there and our brains have more than enough capability of understanding right from wrong and raising ourselves above tribalism… if one can’t do that for whatever reason, then they don’t deserve defending from the consequences. Ignorance is not a defense, if I recall correctly.

      So I’m with you. Fuck those pilots.
