    Putting the queen into a uniform and making her a pretend troop was some masterful propaganda that still gets noticed ~80 years later.

          The beans on toast part was 100% in earnest, i love that stuff even though it turns me into a diabolic fart machine.

        No part of the USA has ever fought a real war of survival. Not even the Slavers during the Civil War actually put their economy on a pure war footing.

      I'm more worried about the amount of young people that will sign up to fight on the side of the fascists in an open war.

      Iraq and Afghanistan were these abstracted conflicts half-hidden from the public. It's going to be different when ads start running in between Apex Legends and Valorant games on Twitch streams encouraging young kids to be like Brimstone and defend the homeland from the foreigner.

      Yeah, I get taking up arms and having a sense of duty when your country is being bombed by fascist powers, not so much when your country is the fascist power doing the bombing.

      I think that's what the West knows in regards to the propaganda aimed at China. There are ignorant people out there who see China and fear a fascist takeover if the military doesn't do something.

    Ah yes, I also get a strong erection when I imagine people the age of 16/17 with their legs blown apart calling for their mothers in a last desperate attempt to stay alive inside a muddy rat-infested trench.

    I think I take the generation that is deeply unpatriotic (based) and needs a safe space everywhere over millions of dead or traumatized-for-life kids.

      We realized we dont need to go to war for trauma when there's plenty of traumatizing exploitation and alienation right here at home

    An unenforced age limit is equivalent to using child soldiers. What? The government didn't have the ability to check age? Lol.

      I know a guy who had two grandfathers do this. I want to say they just didn't have an ID system yet so if you showed up and said you were 18 or whatever they'd shrug and let you in.

    Her entire Twitter account should be posted to the dunk tank, she's fucking vile, and gets paraded round all the right wing outlets and radio stations cos she's a 60 year old tory gammon dressed in the husk of an 18 year old

      I swear, like 95% of English are just weeaboos for America, especially the south.

      How about they move to Alabama, and any Americans can take that pesky PTO and universal healthcare off their hands. Southerners get priority tho.

    All of my relatives who fought during WWII were deeply disturbed and scarred by their experiences and would presumably not agree with this lady
