now idiots who never served a single moment carry on like the civilians killed in Afghanistan, Iraq, etc... were like WW2 nazis and "we were right to give them no mercy" - this kind of language is insane, but you hear it everywhere.

We were shooting children for carrying pocket mirrors.

I distinctly remember Howard saying "this is not a war on Islam" and the line going around in the army at the time was "no, it's a war on muslims"

I cannot stress enough how fucken cooked the western militaries are after Bush and Obama.
