"In the United States today, right-wing leaders claim divine providence is behind everything they do, from their destruction of the environment to their ever-expanding militarism. ...

"They are slavish to the allure of simplistic stereotypes, where the ideal warrior is a man, usually of European descent, with bulging biceps and a sneering grin.

"That is how you get to this madness, a group of bored, bloodthirsty, boisterous men who mistake firepower for strength, and bluster for wisdom. They do not understand how force and diplomacy can work in tandem to serve our national interests."

In a nutshell, we are seriously fucking stupid with the #WarriorEthos bullshit from #Hegseth. Hey motherfucker we #Lose a lot of #Wars.

We bankrolled the fuck out of #WW2, #Soviets and #Britain lost more and fought harder.

#Vietnam lost 8 years
#OIF lost 8 years
#OEf lost 20 years

80 years of loss to tiny shit countries, never learned how to win a #ProtractedInsurgency.
