"don’t choose when or where or why to fight"
The UK has been in a number of wars since I've been able to vote - I don't recall being asked to vote on any one of them? Or indeed the wars in question being part of the manifesto for any party at any election?
- goatinaboat 6y agoAre you asserting that the British military picks its own wars? Because that’s the quote you replied to.
- arethuza 6y agoI was replying to the assertion that "that is done by the “large majority”, the voters electing a government." The government picks the wars without any reference to the voters?
- goatinaboat 6y agoWhether true or not, my point about those who fight in real wars stands. Whereas in a so-called culture war, those who do the “fighting” are also the instigators.
