I'm just going to assume poster #2 is 30 years old. Just for the sake of argument. Old enough to remember the invasion of Iraq even if they didn't really understand it at the time.

Imagine 20 years later, full of the knowledge of what a disaster it was. A waste of lives and resources (resources that could have, in turn, benefited or saved lives). But somehow it's good this time. I can understand being ignorant of this whole imperial charade if you didn't live through it. I'm not expecting some gen Z kid to have a thorough understanding of the conflict in Vietnam or to point out the border the Ho Chi Minh Trail ran along.

But fuck, you lived through the last one. You are still living through the consequences of last time. Fucking ghoul.
