yeah but what about in the picture

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 75 points 4 days ago (3 children)

How do these people not feel deep soul-wrenching embarrassment posting this filth?

[–] Saymaz@lemmygrad.ml 69 points 4 days ago (2 children)

The sheer craving for "thank you for your service" comments.

[–] 6kb_@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 days ago

inshallah they will [Removed for Violating Reddit Guidelines] the fuck how did they even apply here what the hell

IME westerners dont feel shame

[–] WokePalpatine@hexbear.net 30 points 4 days ago

Shame is a social function and no one in Canadian society is shaming them for it.

[–] 3rdWorldCommieCat@hexbear.net 60 points 4 days ago

"me on the far-right" that you fucking are scumbag.

I did war crimes for you Trump and this is how you repay me?!

[–] Red_October@hexbear.net 11 points 4 days ago

Shoulda checked what’s happened to members of the U.S. military when they’re retired from war crimes. Since literally the revolutionary war.

There’s a great paragraph during the forward for the book ‘Tunnels of Cu-Chi’~~lol~~ explaining how much easier it was to even locate first hand accounts from the Vietnamese freedom fighter veterans from the war than the American draftees. After the Vietnamese victory, the fighters were taken care of and hailed as heroes. Because they were. The draftees from the U.S. were difficult to find.

dogs of the American empire surprised they are being treated like dogs

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 50 points 4 days ago

I don't think you understand sir, I am the reason your boots are so shiny, I have been the one tirelessly licking them for decades, and now you're acting like I do nothing for you? For shame sir!

[–] TheLastHero@hexbear.net 52 points 4 days ago

loser and suckers that got played by the Empire. Dust it off and drive a stake through the heart of imperialism or shut up. bragging about how foolish you were is just pathetic

[–] Saymaz@lemmygrad.ml 52 points 4 days ago

Disgusting trend.

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 38 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Can someone explain this to me, I've seen two of these reposted here. "doing nothing for the USA in Afghanistan"... why are they posting this, what is it supposed to mean?

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 55 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

Trump or someone in the US government probably said that the EU does nothing for the US and now they’re making sarcastic posts of themselves serving US interests as a way to say “I’m out here killing the people my cuck government sent me to kill on your behalf. You call that doing nothing?”

it's actually even worse than that. he didn't say the eu does nothing, he said nato does nothing. now we have canadians showing off their collection of baby skulls on reddit

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 25 points 4 days ago

Oooh, thank you. Worse then I thought.

[–] BeanisBrain@hexbear.net 39 points 4 days ago

Posting their Ls

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 28 points 4 days ago (1 children)

What a crazy thing to post about.

[–] Oppopity@lemmy.ml 17 points 4 days ago (3 children)

It's a trend on r/pics there's more of them.

[–] Red_October@hexbear.net 11 points 4 days ago

Dude fuck reddit.

[–] SmithrunHills@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago

We need to nuke the entire Reddit belt fuck these vile scum

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 24 points 4 days ago

Thanks for the heroin

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 27 points 4 days ago

As fast as they are to claim to be the most patriotic [insert whatever Western vassal state you'd like], they sure do seem quite fast to remind everyone that they are vassals to the US empire.

[–] ReallyCoolDude@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

Can you imagine being proud of this shit. Like when Americans were proud to be Korea, Cambodia or Vietnam combatants.

[–] D61@hexbear.net 29 points 4 days ago (1 children)

eh... anything that makes the idea of enlisting less palatable to future generations.

[–] anotherspinelessdem@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Yeah like shitty that they did that but at least they can recognize their mistake and dissuade future generations from making the same one.

It won't bring back the dead but can help avoid more of them.

[–] LeninWeave@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

but at least they can recognize their mistake

Unfortunately, they are not. "Doing nothing" in this case is sarcastic, because Trump said NATO does nothing for the US. All the i-love-killing-people from non-US NATO countries didn't like that.

[–] D61@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago

It turned out that there were a handful of people who had been in one branch or another of the US military in my own family and not a single one really talked about it in any detail. (I never asked any questions so... that's on me) And I wonder to this day if I would have enlisted had anybody just casually, over the course of my childhood, found a way to mention how being in the military wasn't all that great one a good day and crimes against humanity on a bad day.

[–] CocteauChameleons@hexbear.net 22 points 4 days ago

Damn imagine dying or getting a limb blown off for the US and not even being one of their propagandized citizens haha

[–] Edamamebean@hexbear.net 18 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Someone should post that photo of Ben Roberts-Smith cheering on his buddy drinking beer out of a deceased Afghan man's prosthetic leg captioned "Just some Australians doing nothing for America"

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 13 points 4 days ago

Or a screenshot from that video of that Australian who shot an unarmed, cowering Afghan while his (the Australian's) dog was attacking him

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 17 points 4 days ago

agony-soviet I spent decades saying it and they just...tweeted it out

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 17 points 4 days ago

Well, better late than never the EU decides to forget about this colonial nonsense and tries to make amends, right? anakin-padme-2

They’re going to stop being US stooges, right? anakin-padme-4

[–] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 14 points 4 days ago

Holy shit I just now put together what that other post with the British troop was about. I assumed that he was just being publicly aware of the fact that Iraq/Afghanistan were meaningless conflicts in regards to the American public and that his presence there was "doing nothing." These guys are actually butthurt about something Trump said and want their pat on the back for being loyal imperial dogs? This is why he calls you suckers.

Me and the lads would like a little recognition for our war crimes.

C'mon guys. Tony Blair sacrificed his career for American military adventures. Show some respect to our NATO footstools.
