> what are American soldiers dying for?
The American way of life, which is still the most preferred way of life, as evidenced by (a) people wanting to emigrate here more than any other country in the world and (b) more people immigrating here than any other country.
- _doctor_love 6mo ago> The American way of life It's your argument that our current and recent engagements in Venezuela, Iran, and soon Cuba, are to defend the American way of life?
- HDThoreaun 6mo agoYes? Iran threatens a nuclear attack on the US constantly. Not saying the war is some great idea but it definitely is about defending the american way of life
- insane_dreamer 6mo agoyou actually believe this? that American soldiers dying in Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam, etc., were actually preserving the "American way of life" (whatever that means)?? And if it were true (which it isn't), if enjoying the "American way of life" requires killing people in other countries, then it's probably not a very good way of life.
- danny_codes 6mo agoName one conflict we’ve been in since WW2 that protected the “American way of life”
- happytoexplain 6mo agoThis is naive. An American soldier hasn't died for the American way of life in decades.
