- PentelicoMarble 4y agoWhat’s stupid about it?
- MrOwnPut 4y agoBecause of the latter half of my sentence you ignored. It's easy to highroad everyone when you sit back reaping the benefits of what others have done.

- PentelicoMarble 4y agoI’m not high roading anyone, I’m merely saying I prefer products not built by war criminals. I certainly don’t reap any benefits from what Matt and his fellow soldiers did in Iraq during their illegal war, and even if I did - does that mean I can’t talk about it?
- MrOwnPut 4y agoPlease lookup the definition of high roading. But yes, you certainly can talk about your misguided views! And people can call out your misguided views as well! All because of the 1A which is protected from outside forces with the strength of the US military. Soldiers have little to do with policies such as the endless Middle East wars. Your moral crusade should be aimed at the defense contractors and their congress buddies. It's not the soldiers choosing proxy wars in Ukraine or the Middle East, it's congress.
- jimnotgym 4y agoSoldiers sent to war are not automatically war criminals, whether or not the war was legitimate. Your blanket statement suggests that a mechanic, chef, or nurse who was sent to Iraq was a war criminal. You are just wrong. I think you calling someone a war criminal is way outside of what is legitimate on this forum.
- mardifoufs 4y agoWhat does the iraq or afghan war have to do with pax americana? Was 2003 iraq a real threat to the global empire?
- MrOwnPut 4y agoWhere in my post did I say that? If you do want to see my response about the endless wars: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34249354 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34249354 But comment you replied to is about the 1A and the military that makes that possible.
- mardifoufs 4y agoSo he can absolutely criticize or even boycott soldiers that invaded iraq, because they have 0 to do with pax americana, and did nothing to protect the 1A and the constitution anyways. I don't get how your comment makes sense otherwise
