    Yes but you’re comparing apples and oranges.

    Let’s see it compared about America’s other military excursions.

    Perhaps you can ask the Department of Excursions.

      It’s amazing how he misheard “incursion” and now the media has to talk about an excursion with a straight face.

    I like how they put the three other pointless wars the Republicans have dragged us into on top. What a tremendous waste of everything.

    more like Iran Diversion From Pedolf Shitler’s Epstein Files.

    He lost that war in record time.

    “I’m going to post about this ongoing war were doing in Iran by directly comparing it to the U.S.'s longest, deadliest, biggest wastes of life and money in the last few centuries. Wars that had such a profound effect that we still feel those effects today.”

    “Why?”

    “To downplay the seriousness of our current (ongoing) war. Actually I don’t even call it a war, but an “excursion” to make double sure they know it’s not that serious (I’ll keep calling it a war on camera though).”

    “Do you think that maybe putting it next to those wars might come off as more ominous and concerning than calming? That people will rightfully point out that ALL of those wars had only been going on for 6 weeks at one time and that that fact clearly wasn’t an indicator of their eventual seriousness? And moreover that if it starts to become truly comparable in length, scope, and death toll to those wars that this post obviously attempting downplay it will be a point of ridicule much like the “Mission Accomplished” banner of the Bush era?”

    “No. I don’t think so.”

    It’s kind of hilarious how the USA is just turning into Russia slowly.

    Ooh nice one Donny, wanna do us one that compares the monetary cost of those wars? Equalised for inflation or whatever.

    They didn’t tell him that all the others also officially weren’t wars.
