As I said: military parades represent yet another shibboleth separating the weak from the strong.BjornP wrote:The Shia of Iraq especially don't owe you shit, since your country supported Saddam against them in the first place, untill he no longer was of use to you. And you supported Saddamn invading Iran, which isn't "protecting Shia", either.Speaker to Animals wrote:I helped liberate the shia in Southern Iraq from genocide.BjornP wrote:
You didn't liberate anyone from anything, StA. Stop trying to steal the valor of your grandparents who simply did their duty. and living off their exploits like you're owed interests on their souls. I guess "you're welcome" for us fighting in all of your wars ever since and honoring our NATO pledge when you, as the only country that actually invoked it.
My country liberated your country from Nazi occupation that followed after it took the Germans a full six hours to capture your entire territory.
As for you laying claim to your country's past exploits. Your country, your grandparents and great grandparents 70 years ago . Seventy. Fucking. Years. Ago. You're not owed anything anymore as a country, and as an indiviual, I stress that part, as the INDIVIDAL person behind the name of Speaker to Animals, you don't get to arrogantly tell me, "You're welcome" for efforts, for sacrifices done by people long before you were even born. Valor-stealing scum-sucker. And what did you actually do during Operation Desert Storm, StA? Didn't you prep (program?) fighter jets taking off from bases in Saudi Arabia?
Did the United States help France, and/or did France keep on vocally expecting your thanks seventy years after they prevented your riots and rebellion against your rightful government? Just how thankful have you been to France from the 1770's to the 1840's? Wasn't it even them who gave you a certain statue that became a symbolism of America later on? You weren't excatly helping them in 1870 against the German empire, were you? If you did not expect that you needed to verbally rimjob France for winning you your independence, why the hell would you expect anyone else feel such a need?
The hatred for the armed forces is just seething beneath the surface with these people.
I mean.. I get it. I suck at football. So I am like, fuck football. I don't even like that game anyway. Let's go hit the calisthenic park. If my country lost a war in six hours like that, I'd probably be like you too. Or I would change countries.
