I'm just trying to understand why we urgently needed to kill hundreds of elementary school girls, rush into a drone war with the most prolific war drone manufacturer the world has ever seen, and take out Iran's opposition leaders.

I'm trying to be a good little patriot! Knowing the why will help me.

I'm trying not to listen to those cynical little BlueSky (and Mastodon!) people, that suggest that the war is for a different, illegitimate reason.

Or the ones that complain about the fact that one unstable individual in the United States can make the unilateral decision to pull the whole world into a war.

Or the ones that complain that eliminating leadership from the official state of Iraq, created the space for the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria to be formed. That name is too long! Let's call it ISIS for short.

Or the ones that complain that war kills more civilians than troops. Mostly children.

BlueSky (and Mastodon!) are full of these anti-war little twerps, that get in the way of my very important patriotism! I don't even think they like eagles, to be honest. They probably drink pasteurized milk, and get vaccinated too.

Me on the other hand? I am very patriotic. Seriously! All snark aside! 🦅🇺🇸
