> you will get shredded in a frozen pit far from home by a drone this is the worst part about war today. not that war was ever good but it was fashionable for a while back when we could soak up some good hollywood propaganda, watch classic war films (also propaganda) and play mw2 when the ctf playlist was still up. you got sent to the middle east, it was hot, miserable but it was warm. you got shot at from hills or blown up by an ied, yeah, it was brutal but it was sexy in a way. there's no sex appeal to war. it's 0c right now in ukraine. freezing, you will die to a landmine (worse than dying to an ied), be killed in close conflict, there's rats & vermin opposed to camel spiders (they're not really spiders) and the worst, most dystopian nightmare is the fucking drone strikes. it's not sexy like black ops. nobody wants to go to war for that, for another country. it's not grand revenge for an injustice while your life is still good? you're post-gfc, you're shoulder deep in stagnation, if you survive you will return home, be sent to job fairs and told about your transferrable skills you got in the forces. manage a pub bro! work as a mechanic! yeah, pubs are closing still, mechanic? you got a loicense to install that replacement part? it's patented don't you know. fuck that shit. fuck that shit. make it sexy at least.
