Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

WW2 was within a hundred years you insipid cunt, mind you we did bomb some cities into nothingness but Japan and Germany certainly deserved it. Also the Korean war was within said timeframe and while not as cut and dry as WW2 id say was still on the morally good side of things.
Also a lot of draftees we're in logistics, like some of my family friends who sat around San Diego smoking pot for a good chunk of Vietnam. Really the only conflict where the draft was used where the war was prettt cleanly immoral was Vietnam unless im forgetting something. Maybe the Siberian expedition but I dont know if that had draftees.
Oh yeah I almost forgot that Asia and middle east isn't the only thing that your country has ruined, thanks for reminding me.
Ya know the American Siberian expedition during the Russian civil war amounted to fuck all right. They basically went in grabbed some allied soldiers who we're partaking in the intervention and left. Everything else was under joint comand and largely led by Britain.
As for WW2 and the european front, the Axis earned every bullet, bomb, and poison sent their way. They earned their deaths, except Finland they just wanted to fuck over the Soviets which the Soviets earned wholesale. Good thing we didn't bomb Finland.
