I wonder if 20th century Britain and America were up to your political standards when they fought in WW2. Back when the British king was Emperor of India and America had just finished retreating from occupying South American countries because they lost money for the United Fruit Company. I think Nancy Pelosi was still trading stocks in Congress when the Kosovo genocide was ended by NATO.
When the US attacked Cuba for foreign encroachment and supported Israel in its revanchist genocides, what Rule of Law were they following when it supported Ukraine against Russia doing the same thing? Seems pretty blatantly hypocritical to me.
That was one of many historical opportunities for professionals to see the US' many contradictions and domestic problems and abandon the US military. By these political standards, professionals should have abandoned US military capability back in 2014 when the latest outrageous hypocrisy was laid bare so it wouldn't have the power to be used as a tool for evil in 2022 and beyond.
Well, chop chop, America, better solve this quickly.
I guess I don't really doubt that you have good or patriotic intentions, I've seen comments like this often enough that I think it's some kind of Ralph Nader-esque "if you want to effect change, attack your friends not your enemies" strategy which doesn't strike me as particularly effective when there's any real stakes involved.
