The only wars USA fight in are to get rich men, richer.

It's not just fighting rich men's wars, we pay for them too! :(

Money for war, none for the poor.

He was busy trying not to get an STD, which he claimed was his Viet Nam

Instead the rich men choose another rich man to plan and start the wars.

And! And! And! Same lint lickers telling us whatever this week’s equivalent to Agent Orange is ain’t cancerous. Still telling us whatever this week’s equivalent to Anne Frank is a menace and needs to be turned in is.
CALAMOSCOPYJANE
You are correct, 100%.
Btw “lint licker” is going straight into my arsenal of insults, that’s hilarious. 💀

They aren't the fortunate ones.

You may not, but your children and grandchildren unto the seventh generation will.

Those men would be attacked by our government for that today.

That's what drones and AI are for

Faro will take care of things. Humans not needed.

The gravy seals WANT to fight the rich men's wars.
Tolocamp
War is when you get told who the enemy is. Revolution is when you figure it out yourself.
Go figure....
Greetings from europe. We are waiting....
CALAMOSCOPYJANE
Oooooo that’s an amazing thought, is that a quote? Or a saying in your language?
Tolocamp
It is actually a quote from some lefty author i think. Don't remember which, though.
Spiderbubble
If a revolution happens in the USA, no country will be safe from it. All your billionaires will get swept up in it too.
Spiderbubble
GOOD.

War...It feeds the rich, while it buries the poor.
bertchstudio
What is it good for?
frosss
Absolutely nothin.
bertchstudio
Say it again, this man has no Dick Cheney! Say say it again y'all!
Iblamemyparentstoo
The rich....ask Dick Cheany

Also the first war that really soured relations with many western countries for the US
VodkaReindeer
Why? What was different from Korea?
Jonson71
Really? I have never heard this. Which western countries didn't like our stupid misadventures in Vietnam?
swedeonamoose
European nations generally viewed the Vietnam War with skepticism, ranging from vocal opposition to reluctant support, Sweden was one of the more extreme examples since we did not only take in US deserters but we also openly supported the north with medical supplies and training.

I also didn't hear about Canada hunting down draft dodgers and deporting them back
Jonson71
Man I wish every decent country in the world would have an open border policy for US deserters and conscientious objectors during any of the U.S.'s near constant wars.
Jonson71
France for sure didn't, though, given that they had just lost vietnam immediately before and we were actually invading to support their puppet government?
EccentricNimoy
Really? Til
eetsumkaus
Sweden was not in NATO, that's why they felt more at liberty to defy the US.

"Narrator" but they did go on to fight many more rich mens wars

"on behalf of rich men from another country even"
TexMexHex
Every vet I know happily voted for trump. One of them recently kicked it because he couldn't afford his tanks of oxygen anymore due to VA cuts. Oh, well.
relsky
A lot of the people in this photo voted emphatically for drumpf.
emu314159127001
But totally not against communism! The other ones were about oil

20 years where degenerates in the military got their wish to rape and murder brown people with impunity while rich white guys got richer.
eetsumkaus
they voted to send their kids to fight rich men's wars.
11Weasel11
Well, stop .I fought in Afghanistan and Iraq and those definitely weren't another rich man's wars! Checks notes... forget i said that.
pandemicmodedad
Was about to say....got me in the first half
eetsumkaus
the Taliban said the same thing
Jonson71
Crazy, I scrolled to the comments to make this verbatim comment.
seenunseen
Yeah, i like to toss out generic imgur comments every once in awhile to balance the sheets.
Jonson71
I feel like a hack!
swedeonamoose
And then there was Somalia where noone really know wtf was going on.
eetsumkaus
the 1990s were a weird time when the threat of Communism went away, and the international committee decided it would be a good time to try being world police. Turns out a bunch of assholes make for bad cops, and contributed directly to the rise of movements such as Islamism.
McBzz
For clarity, do you mean jihadism?
eetsumkaus
no, though that has a bit to do with it too. The politicization of Islam has been a gradual process throughout the latter half of the century, but can arguably be said to have accelerated in the 90s.
Grendels2dCousinOnceRemoved
The politicisation of Islam has been a thing at least since the first British incursion into Afghanistan in the early decades of the 19th Century. See, e.g., Return of a King by Wm Dalrymple.
