It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

'I'm not going back and fight' - US mercenaries say war in Ukraine is more dangerous than in Iraq or Afghanistan - The Daily Beast

-This is my third war I've been in and this one is by far the worst. You will be crushed by artillery, tanks. Last week, a bomb was dropped from an airplane next to us, about 300 meters away. This is horrifying shit.

  • You can't hide anywhere. When we went out on missions, I thought we were all going to die. A helicopter will not fly for you, no one will save you when you are surrounded. When I got home, I had time to think things over. I came to the conclusion that I'm not going to go back and fight.

Americans when no overwhelming air superiority

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Like any bully, American soldiers will only fight people smaller than them (yet they still manage to lose, lol). When facing an actual fair fight with another superpower, whoops all bombs.

This is my third war I've been in and this one is by far the worst.

The only wars this person could ever be old enough to be in were Iraq and Afghanistan, so this is the only war where this person is facing a conventional army, and not a resistance that struggled with getting materiel and without higher-level leadership.

Turns out they don't like war when it's fought on somewhat "even" terms.

I'm shocked that it's more difficult than bombing weddings

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Waaaaah it's not fair that the other side has air support, artillery, armoured vehicles, military training, and an industrial base that can supply ammunition, fuel, and all the other supplies needed to fight a modern war! We're supposed to be the ones using overwhelming air supremacy to vaporize sandel-wearing goat herders! Russians are supposed to be mindless orks zerg rushing our killzones! Waaaaah I miss my special kill everything laser and helicopter delivered burger King waaaaaaah! pit pit pit

If you're from the richest country on earth and march into a war zone for money there is not a single experience you can have there that would cause me to have sympathy for you.
