      This is one of those really good pieces you don't see them do much anymore, where they don't go for the overt punchline and instead very earnestly and sincerely just write out what a lot of people clearly think but don't say

      Like there's plenty of times and places where this would have been a completely uncontroversial patriotic sentimentpic.twitter.com/c7xYFBjw8o

      I was about to type out a whole thing about how ancient China balanced its belief that military victory was the greatest glory a state could have and that actual soldiers were the dregs of society to be kept away from your daughters if at all possible

      But I'm like, that's not foreign That's completely normal Americans used to openly express that sentiment all the time and they mostly still think it and just don't say it

      It's about the only explanation for why any and all actual support ends the instant you're discharged.

      It's not even a logical contradiction, they like the war machine itself, they like the power it wields, and the more efficiently it can chew up the human beings it uses for fuel the more powerful it is

      Like how fans of railroads and factories and shit were also fans of the horrific exploitation of the human beings who built and worked in those institutions

      One of my favourite Terry Pratchett quotes: "It is a long-cherished tradition among a certain type of military thinker that huge casualties are the main thing. If they are on the other side then this is a valuable bonus."

      There's a story about the quaintness of the way wars were fought in the old days That the limited projection of military force due to the technology of the time meant people could just go watch battles

      There's a surreal story about the First Battle of Bull Run in the Civil War where wealthy civilians from DC came down to a nearby hill to watch the fighting from a safe distance, very excited that the war had finally begun in earnest

      Setting up a picnic lunch and everything, treating it like a sporting event The story goes that when the Union troops broke and routed they were standing their cursing at them calling them pusillanimous cowards and demanding they go back and finish the job
