Why aren't yankees sick of war yet?
Is it because no one's been drafted?

Millennials support more wars against Muslims but don't want to enlist themselves

the vietnam war didn't have public support because american citizens were dying for no reasons (since vietnam dindu nuffin) and some gore pictures leaked (like my-lai)
while the wars in the middle east had a good reason,at least in american eyes
>>52353350
i wonder why...
>>52353350
yes pretty much. the gap between american military culture and normie culture is growing. most of the military i had experience with express open content for the american public calling them Lazy, stupid, fat, cowards ext. even the majority of vietnam soldiers were volunteers, my dad was a vietnam veteran he was an army ranger during tet, him and his war buddy's feel like the american public was too weak and made them lose the war.
A very small percentage of the public has had any exposure to the military which causes two problems
First many people in the public view the military as this sort of infallible entity (or at least very well controlled) which is simply not true. It's very disorganized and has incompetent people at every level. Thus whenever a mistake occurs (bomb hits a wrong place or some arms shipment gets misplaced) it's viewed as being intentional with some goal in mind, generally some conspiracy nature, when in reality it's just some idiot along the line who fucked up
Also you get a lot of right wing people with no knowledge of it all who just say "well we'll bomb them, no problem" with no knowledge of what that fully means or entails
The first one is to me generally more annoying because I see people sharing these conspiracy memes on Facebook. I used to try to discuss with these people based on my experience in the military what probably happened. This is not to say that no conspiracy theory is right but often I think they make presumptions regarding intent that are not accurate
meanwhile wars in Europe lasted 30 years in a stretch and everyone had to be drafted
that "turned Sweden off" to war and lead us onto the current cuck path
>>52353350
Profit for lords. You can not understand that.

actually it was russia that cucked sweden then u had bernadotte the biggest coward in the grand armee as ur absolute monarch
>>52354312
Nope, that happened several kings later
Stick to knowing about your own... "history" and leave European history to Europeans.

The government has become better at subtly controlling the population.

Did you miss the raction to Obama's Syrian intervention proposal?
Americans are still against war. We're just ao disconnected from the process now.
I feel that Americans have it's own military class disconnected from the general public. The officers will continue to fight among themselves for promotions as they had ever since the founding of this country. The Enlisted will continue to get shuffled in and out of the constant meat grinders. The general public will continue not giving a fuck until it affects them personally.
Only when a serious event like 9/11 will give US a national will to wage war.
