Pride hurt? No.

You never put on a uniform.

You were never in an armed conflict.

Without any of that experience you flipantly claiming war is fake.

That is just you, having not done any of it, criticizing those of us that have.

Brainwashed?

No, I knew what I was doing and why.

Tell you this. Walk up to a vet and tell them eye to eye that war is fake.

Then pay careful attention to their response.

I respect your inexperienced opinion, but it is flawed and incorrect.
