In the military, I was required to inhale tear gas and as an officer, I was required to be sprayed with pepper spray. I personal feel that Trump used a horrible situation abroad to get some heat off of himself. As a black male, I also know America has a dark history. What is the purpose of this thread? Recruiting terrorists? |

I guess it happens on all sides. Americas biggest collateral damage is our desperation for change so now we are stuck with Trump. But to answer you question, yes, we will always think Terrorism is bad. If you think ISIS or groups like them are good for the world then you are wrong. |
Is that part of the brainwashing in USA?
Everything is black and white?
You're either with is or against us?
Criticism is recruiting terrorists?
Criticising the USA is supporting ISIS?
A lot of terrorism is blowback from things the US has done in the past. A lot of terrorism is blown out of proportion as well, mostly used for fear mongering. IRA, ETA, plain / train hijackings were all much more frequent when I grew up.
Anyway I'm glad the most recent thing on that list is tear gas. Great progress to go from nuclear bombs to tear gas if you ask me. Is the military still using depleted uranium ammo though? That stuff should be outlawed. How many soldiers got sick from that? I'm sure sacrificing yourself for your country doesn't include radiation poisinging by your own country.
