Amen 🙏 it’s easy for people who don’t care about our young soldiers to start a war that they won’t have to personally fight in. Cowards.

I would say “Hell no” they won’t have to go. But young men and service members from our families will. It’s not an equal and fair system especially with Trump at the wheel. Many of us have family members who have paid the ultimate price. Patriots who love this land and all that it stands for.

Not the Trumps… they don’t live for nor die for the principals of our great country.

Yes, Chump will create a war , our brave young warrior servicemen will pay for it. He will enjoy it like a football game without a care about death and loss. Is he even human?

Special accommodations for the wealthy likely.

We have family members whom have paid the ultimate price. The average American doesn’t get a pass.

If Trump, Hegseth, and Vance had to go to the front lines, I wonder if they would have started getting involved!?

No it will be our children, grandchildren fighting this war. But that’s the way it always is. ‘We the People”are betrayed once again by the greed and avarice of the wealthy, and those with power!

Historically, it's actually the opposite. But if that makes you feel better, have at it.

It isn't one-sided either way. Bush got us into Iraq.

Let's never forget that the warmonger-in-chief was bought out of service by his rich daddy who paid off a doctor claiming poor Donnie had bone spurs. He's happy to send others who do things they can't buy their way out of. BTW...I had bone spurs on BOTH feet. They are easily treated by an overnight surgery, and require almost no recovery time.

I would like to say, “well, just don’t go. Don’t do it. Wise up young people - look at the past.” However, as we can see around us, “they” cause conditions that nearly force the young ones to go in order to get some kind of a paycheck. They are diabolical creatures.

I cannot help wondering whether conducting mandatory testosterone tests as well as psychological tests of men as a prerequisite for seeking the office of president and providing testosterone therapy as well as counseling which deals with the daddy issues which in recent history seem to plague them , in the absence of women taking over, might in some measure spare humanity from self-destruction.

Per Mary Trump... DJT doesn't like the TACO Nickname... DJT lashed out to prove that he is a Real-Man... DJT was quivering until the last Moment...

I’m so angry about this horrific move I have no words! Military action should ALWAYS be the last resort. This administration has no empathy whatsoever for any other government or people. They are not gods destined to power. They are manipulators and thieves of others lives.

Thank You Mike... Allegedly DJT spent hours on the Phone with Netanyahu... This is Netanyahu's War... Netanyahu launched it for his Political Survival... DJT was played like an Old, Oozing , Broken, Orange Kazoo... Netanyahu has been conniving to maneuver the USA to Attack Iran for Decades... Now Netanyahu will Slink Off, and Claim Victory... The USA could be left with the Butcher's Bill, and the Hang-Over...

I’m more worried about sleeper cells and terrorism. And how Trump and his followers will deal with his personal prejudice against Muslims. God forbid they encounter a Sikh in a turban, or a woman wearing a scarf.

I was thinking more about the treatment of immigrants and foreigners in general by ICE and Trump’s more radical/violent followers.

The ones starting the wars are never the ones fighting it. If they were, we’d damned sure see fewer of them!

When I was 10 years old, my cousin was killed in Vietnam. A poor, working class 19 year old. It ended my childhood tore apart my family. I learned early on how this works. I am heartbroken that here we go again.

Remember the Vietnam era when there were those of us who said we should keep our troops at home and send the warmongering oldsters off to the field to fight it out? Sounds like a great idea to me! I'm sitting safely (now anyway) in Oregon and I'm furious — my sister-in-law is a 60+ year old green card holder who just hired an Immigration attorney to protect her rights. INSANITY!!
