No. And that's exactly the problem.

You think fostering this narrative over your military is safer/better than the alternative, but it is under this malicious narrative that you're happily delivering aid that you've invaded and sabotaged a lot of countries, all with thunderous applause from your own populace.

but this comic is a window into American minds at large, and needs to be understood as a piece representing the average American starting to turn on the current narrative that would see you, and your country, wherever you are, harmed far worse than anything we've done before.

BOTH of these narratives harm my country and many others. Both of them. Do not attempt to take a moral high ground because your version of your military is got sunshine and rainbows. It's the same fucking deal regardless of the democrat or republican in power, one party is just much more open about it than the other.

You are 100% on the road to becoming your country's version of MAGA. Congratulations, nuance is for losers, right? As long as you think it's a fight over "moral fucking high ground" you're going to be blind to more intelligent political analysis and you will get led around by your sensitive feelings. There is no moral high ground, only people with agendas and outcomes. I say again, get smarter. You're not invulnerable to the same forces that you despise. The more you think you are, the more vulnerable you are. I'm done. Won't see the reply.
