Bro,white dudes in the military are some of the most racist mofo’s I have ever come in contact with and it’s like they dont even care
smh i bet.
Where is this from?
It’s a HBO show called Generation Kill, and it’s a pretty accurate show
Does no one ever read my commentary on military culture and how it is a fucking CESSPOOL and BREEDING GROUND for fostering, strengthening, and reinforcing racism, sexism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, and rape culture?
Like does nobody understand or get it by now? Jesus fucking Christ.
America’s failed foreign policy summarized in 2 pictures.
An extremely simple concept that American narcissists fail to realize.

war kills people from the inside out sometimes
“In war, there are no unwounded soldiers.”
i think i’ve posted this before but it’s so powerful
“And I tried hard to be proud of my service but all I could feel was shame. The racism could not longer mask the reality of the occupation. These were people, these were human beings. I’ve since been claimed by guilt any time I see an elderly man like the one who couldn’t walk and we rolled out on a stretcher and told the Iraqi police to take him away. I feel guilt any time I see a mother with her children like the one who cried hysterically and screamed that we were worst than Saddam as we forced her from her home. I feel guilt any time I see a young girl, like the one I grabbed by the arm, and dragged into the street. WE ARE TOLD WE ARE FIGHTING TERRORISTS; THE REAL TERRORIST WAS ME AND THE REAL TERRORISM IS THIS OCCUPATION.” -Mike Prysner, US Army war veteran who served in Iraq

oh my God.
Though barred from combat, women in military service do have de facto roles in combat. Tammy Duckworth, former assistant secretary of the US Department of Veterans Affairs lost her legs in combat while piloting a Black Hawk helicopter. “When I’m asked if the country is ready for women in combat, I look down at where my legs used to be and think, ‘Where do you think this happened, a bar fight?’“
The Ghosts of World War II by Sergey Larenkov
Taking old World War II photos, Russian photographer Sergey Larenkov carefully photoshops them over more recent shots to make the past come alive. Not only do we get to experience places like Berlin, Prague, and Vienna in ways we could have never imagined, more importantly, we are able to appreciate our shared history in a whole new and unbelievably meaningful way.
This is eerily touching.

Excerpt from Michael Yon’s page : “Major Mark Bieger found this little girl after the car bomb that attacked our guys while kids were crowding around. The soldiers here have been angry and sad for two days. They are angry because the terrorists could just as easily have waited a block or two and attacked the patrol away from the kids. Instead, the suicide bomber drove his car and hit the Stryker when about twenty children were jumping up and down and waving at the soldiers. Major Bieger, I had seen him help rescue some of our guys a week earlier during another big attack, took some of our soldiers and rushed this little girl to our hospital. He wanted her to have American surgeons and not to go to the Iraqi hospital. She didn’t make it. I snapped this picture when Major Bieger ran to take her away. He kept stopping to talk with her and hug her.”
Terrorists and insurgents are willing to kill children to move their cause forward. This image and story behind it shows the heart that is with so many of our servicemen and women overseas.
