My cousin served in the Armed Forces "to protect your freedom" (his words). The fact that he died during training maneuvers, does not detract from that.
- cies 1y agoI feel bad for him and you all. But personally when I look the US' history of military interventions then I sadly have to conclude he was made to believe he did it for "our freedom". A good facade for a dirty business. In fact he did it for corporate and Israel's interests. And probably he personally did it for the money and "cool job status" too.

- cies 1y agoMy country also joins every sad "coalition of the willing" that's being formed... Usually against the general population's wishes. Only the US population seems to, on average, favour going to war. Still feel bad for your cousin.
