A great book, I was supposed to pull KP that day for some misdeed but when I put my hand on the mess hall door knob I changed my mind and decided to take the day off instead and go to the base library, and they had the book that I had long wanted to read.
Sadly it was not combined with any logical analysis
His parents should blame our government, and corrupt, state-run media for gas-lighting and propagandizing this guy
Oh yeah boss? I volunteered and served my country on the front lines protecting Christians against socialists. Then I raised 9 Christian kids to stand for truth against socialists and Sodomites. What’s Your contribution? Defending those who fight for the commie, pinko, fag NWO?
Besides being brave and idealistic, he probably was not a raving nut like you are.
Ninety-nine American heroes volunteered for fighting the Japanese BEFORE Pearl Harbor.
We’ve forgotten the Flying Tigers and their P-40s already?
Concurring bump...from what I'm hearing about the Eastern front is that its unlike any fighting Western troops have faced since WW2.
Add in the deluge of Western propaganda about the war and its quite easy to see how someone might delude themselves into getting involved.
Belief in Deep State propaganda can be hazardous to your health.
There should be a warning label on every mass media outlet...
Natalia Lukyanenko (63) watches authorities excavate a mass grave in the grounds of the Church of St. Andrew and Pyervozvannoho in Bucha, Kyiv region. Natalia’s son was killed during the Russian occupation of the town. Her son-in-law, Volodymyr Stefaniuk (34), just identified his brother, the 4th body to be removed from the pit- laying here in a body-bag labeled with the number 4. 8 April 2022
A depressing story, if I recall.
Johnny jumps off a truck for his introduction to war and is immediately hit with an artillery burst, it takes him a long time to remember that from a hospital bed as he tries to figure out where he is and whether he is dreaming or awake.
What is making all this difficult for him to put together is that the shell had blown off all of his limbs and his face, he had no sense of smell, he was of course mute, no eyes, no hearing, no touch, no way to communicate and no way to tell if he is awake or asleep, it is quite a tale and the best anti-war book ever written.

Funny but very true)))..
“it is quite a tale and the best anti-war book ever written.”
Which is probably why Trumbo wrote it. Trumbo was a pacifist.
They say this people was killed by Russian troops but it is just say so propaganda with NO proves.
Just think a little. 90% lethal wounds there on these dead bodies are from shrapnel. It is a fact. Then this town indeed was occupied by Russian troops. Also a fact.
SO the question: who shelled this town during its occupation by Russians? Definitely NOT Russians shelled this town if they already were there and any shelling came to their heads too. So you see now?
Only truth here that these people unfortunately died because of this war.
My favorite feminist book and one that I own and have read a couple of times is S.C.U.M.
“SCUM Manifesto was considered one of the most outrageous, violent and certifiably crazy tracts when it first appeared in 1968. Valerie Solanas, the woman who shot Andy Warhol, self-published this work just before her rampage against the king of Pop Art made her a household name and resulted in her confinement to a mental institution. But the Manifesto, for all its vitriol, is impossible to dismiss as just the rantings of a lesbian lunatic.”
Ummm, the Nazis weren’t defending. The Russians are the Nazis here. Invading nations for territorial conquest.
Just like North Korea.
Just like North Vietnam.
Just like Argentina.
Just like Saddam’s Iraq.
Invading countries for conquest usually receives harsh international opposition.
If Russia is defeated in Ukraine we will likely prevent new wars in South Korea and Taiwan.
If invasion for territorial conquest becomes the norm of the day the whole world burns. Got it?

You wrong saying it is a territorial conquest. It just liberation of Novorossiya and Russian people from discriminating ukie Nazi regime.
And people VOTED to join Russia on their referendums. Principles of democracy requite their liberation.
They started their liberation war in 2014 and West lied all this time to Russia talking they want peace in Novorossiya. SO for 7 years Russian trusted West and didn’t invade but any patience will end some point. So did it.
Not my cup of tea.
I generally don’t read wild leftist rants, as they are usually poorly written, poorly-edited, and lack any coherency. I read some back in the 1960s and 1970s, and they were all crude, rambling, stream-of-consciousness literary slop that I put them down.
Kudos to you for having the fortitude to stomach such prose; not once, but TWICE!
A book written by a lesbian that tried to assassinate Andy Warhol and formed a feminist group called “The Society for the Cutting Up of Men” was a book I had to read.
One way that I used to cure feminists was to get them to read books by feminists, not books by conservatives about them, but their own books that revealed the beliefs of the feminist leaders.
I dated a NOW chapter president and cured her, she gave up her presidency and left NOW, I didn’t cure her with books though.
“One way that I used to cure feminists was to get them to read books by feminists...”
I focused on curing them another way, but since this is a family forum I won’t go into detail.
