I'm curious as to what you think Iran has done to be "proven to be untrustworthy and unbalanced".

repeatedly claiming that you want to remove an entire state & stoking sectarian violence in the region makes the global community squeamish

Although you can apply this to Saudi Arabia and various other states as well...

So you want free shit for everyone but don't want to pay for it?

How much of that "unbalance" had to do with US involvement in overthrowing democratically elected government and supporting the rule of the Shah until the revolution in 1979?
It's like setting someone on fire and saying they're "manic" because they're rolling around on the ground trying to smother the flames.
I don't believe for-profit companies should be involved in the justice system, educational institutions, or the healthcare industry. Capitalism only works when the consumers have the choice to opt-out.
As a member of the military, aren't you entitled to VA benefits, a GI bill, and a pension upon retirement? Don't talk to me about the cost of helping our country when you're benefiting from the biggest welfare program we've got: the Department of "Defense".
So ... nothing that our own government and our own allies haven't done - in spades.

Name another job that is all voluntary until you sign up (then you can't quit) where you agree to put your life on the line and fight...and kill...for your country. You have no compression of the sacrifices service members make. We have EARNED the benefits you list.
Some fucking lazy shit who lives off the nation's teet cause that is how mamma did it and is how they were taught, and cries disenfranchised people if someone threatens to take it away....he did not earn it.
They could serve and earn the benefits, but they choose not to.
If you want to bash my service and the benefits we have EARNED, do it after you go through what we have.

Iran is about to become the next state of the US economic empire and these dumb niggas can't figure out the saber rattling from iran is coming from their military leadership desperately trying to keep that from happening to preserve their own influence
You get all those benefits if you're a grunt getting shot at or if you're just an equipment tech fixing vehicles all day. I've got compassion for soldiers injured in the line of duty, but I'm not going to call someone a hero just because they put on a uniform or "volunteered" for service because they lacked better options with what to do with their lives. Even if you aren't injured you get free healthcare through the VA system, but god forbid the people paying for those benefits share in some of them. After your service has ended we're expected to give preference to former military in hiring, or contribute to charities to support them even more.
The DoD gets a blank check to spend whatever they want, a lot of it on things we can't even know about because it's "classified". Call me un-American, but I'd be totally fine with cutting the defense budget in half once every four years and spending the other half on "welfare" like healthcare and a college education for everyone.
you signed up to kill people for money
that deems you a mercenary, not a freedom fighter
you put your life on the line for no one, protected no one, and killed because you're either mentally ill or unemployable
its great that "service" members arent really getting thanked anymore for their "service" because everyone knows you did what you did because you had no other options
eat shit jarhead scum, glad u cant sleep at night
This thread got amusing real quick.
The sacrifice isn't just at getting shot at. Go sit on a boat for 9 months or go live in a connex box in the desert for 6 months. You fucking clowns have no idea the shit that most people in the military have had to deal with.
To compare that to sitting at home collecting a monthly check for literally doing nothing, actually, doing nothing is how you get that check, is a whole new kind of clueless.
Continue though, the ignorance on this page alone is outstanding.
u said u signed up for the navy for a cush job and free travel
i mean u literally have said that dozens of times
now it's a great burden, a sacrifice that no one can understand, and an honorable duty for your country
you went to a shitty college for a history degree and realized u aint shit but an elementary history teacher at best
better join the navy for those school loans u burned up for an education in history that somehow eludes u in every historical discussion on this forum
amazing, not really, just shows you how fucking retarded most of the military really is

History is pretty vast, learning 3000+ years in 4 years is what we call impossible. Now you want to talk about specific time periods in specific areas than maybe we could have a conversation.
The military stays a volunteer force by offering compensation and benefits. If you get rid of retirement, GI bills, and medical care, you would have to restart conscription, because I guarantee you they would never have the quotas they desire.
It's called a contract, for services provided you receive compensation. Considering an E-3 makes like 15-20k a year, which would put them in the poverty zone, I wouldn't say they are the "biggest welfare recipients".
Work 60 12 hour days in a row and then come bring that shit to me.
