Admitting to looting. and he thinks he's the good guy

[–] Hazzard@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Does "liberate" actually imply theft in a way I'm missing? I assumed that meant he bought the chicken when I first read it, but nobody in these comments seems to think that.

[–] teslekova@sh.itjust.works 46 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Liberate is standard army slang for steal, yes.

[–] deranger@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 week ago

“tactically acquired” was a favorite of mine

especially when spelled with quotes.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 7 points 1 week ago

If he'd bought it he would have just said so. I don't "liberate" a double cheeseburger, I buy it. With money.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 83 points 1 week ago (2 children)

So he stole a chicken, which is actually a war crime, and he's just casually admitting it on social media. Says a lot about the state of the world at the moment.

[–] tyler@programming.dev 22 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Wait what’s the war crime? Theft?

yhea, looting is a war crime. if you got a vet cousin who showed you his "souvenirs", he's a war criminal. on top of every other war crime he committed there.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago

It's called pillaging when it's an invasion force.

[–] jdr@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago

Enjoying a succulent Iraqi meal?

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 8 points 1 week ago

Yes but US won so it's ok.

[–] lemonwood@lemmy.ml 79 points 1 week ago (4 children)

US soldiers in Iraq didn't just steal with impunity and without any shame, they didn't just fight an unjust and murderous war against an innocent population based on nothing but lies, they also ran well organized rings for child kidnapping, rape and sexual slavery for twenty years on multiple US bases.

[–] Bubbaonthebeach@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And the ones who were too young or missed out on Iraq will soon get a chance to do the same in Iran.

[–] ebolapie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I think Iran will prove somewhat more difficult in a ground invasion.

I don't know if the us military is ready to occupy Iran, but just off the top of my head there are several reasons we (the US as a nation) will find it more difficult than Iraq:

  1. Iran is covered in mountains. Good luck maneuvering armor through there.
  2. There aren't any good staging areas. From the Turkish border to Tehran is 1000km.
  3. Iranians will not greet us as liberators, no matter their opinion of the Ayatollah. They'll tell us to fuck off.
  4. Iran has a military of their own, who will be fighting on heir home turf. They also have a network to rally those Iranians who want us to fuck off.

This is a non exhaustive list but take it from this American with a passing interest in geography, invading Iran would be monumentally stupid. I think a failed invasion might be the best outcome. Like Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam, all rolled into one massive clusterfuck. A "successful occupation" would probably collapse us once and for all.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca -3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Iran seems to live in la-la land. They leave their scientists and military leaders openly vulnerable.

They won't resist a full-on air, ground, and sea operation. Israel will get what it wants and the prince whatever his face also.

[–] ebolapie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

The geography alone will prove problematic. And even if they lose, that doesn't mean we win. I say we, I mean "The United States." It will be expensive, we won't achieve our geopolitical objectives, we'll alienate our allies, I seriously can't think of what is actually in it for the US.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

we’ll alienate our allies

That nuclear aircraft carrier and its escort has sailed. Probably to the Red Sea under orders from the real commander.

[–] ebolapie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I mean we'll really alienate them. Y'all aren't happy with us right now, because we're acting a fool, but we aren't out in the cold yet.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Dude, Iran has no hope against what's amassing in the area over the last few weeks. A few pitiful Russian weapons that no one's trained to use? Then what?

[–] ebolapie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The Taliban kicked our asses with IEDs and Soviet surplus. And besides, look at what happened in Iraq. They don't have to win for us to lose.

[–] mEEGal@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hmmmm...

Fuck US imperialism, obviously, but these are pretty heavy claims. Got any proof ?

[–] ptu@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] mEEGal@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Which is already bad enough in itself

But far from the claims 2 comments above

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

as is tradition, for every war.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

.. that the us seems keen on starting 9/10 times around the world, for some reason.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca -2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sounds like a Russian operation.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

You misspelled Israeli

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 43 points 1 week ago (1 children)

look at that wholesome murderer 😍

[–] Garbagio@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

All Chickens Are Bastards

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 41 points 1 week ago

Likely stolen after killing a family then put at risk while you continue looting and oppressing.

[–] Tudsamfa@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The other day I too "liberated" chicken from my local walmart.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I will only respect you in this story if you straight up stole it

Chicken arise!

[–] W98BSoD@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

Chicken, arise.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

hey uhhhh...you tink the gun sto still open?

[–] Carmakazi@piefed.social 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Chicken got deaf af if true

[–] Luvs2Spuj@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I have a chicken fact here! They can repair their hearing if it's damaged.

[–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Dogs and cats also are great for helping you notice things, you can watch them and see what their super hearing directs their attention to. That's why hunters sometimes use pointer dogs and stuff.

[–] musubibreakfast@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's way too complicated, I just duct tape a cat below the business end of my shotgun when I go hunting.

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

You should play Postal 2.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 week ago

Note to self: IED in the chickens.
