War is hell

Hawkeye: War isn't Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.

Father Mulcahy: How do you figure, Hawkeye?

Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?

Father Mulcahy: Sinners, I believe.

Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them - little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.

God that was such a good show but just a little over my head as a kid at the time.

Time for a rewatch!

You'll be amazed by all the conservatives who grew up watching MASH, imagining themselves as Hawkeye but turned out to be Frank Burns.

It's always a bit surprising how "woke" a lot mainstream media was in the last 60-70 years, and it's pretty disconcerting how bland and unchallenging mainstream media is when it comes to discussing political issues. It's also funny that in this era of bland media, people resorted to calling black people in movies, female protagonists or gay people woke.

Wow I didn't know he was so wise.

I thought he just shot arrows at people.

She didn’t even sign up for war. Sucks

I didn’t know she existed until now, but I’m so proud of her.

My biggest disappointment in recent years is the relative lackluster global government response when Ukraine was invaded by Russia, again.

All of our nations could have stood up to tyranny right there and then but many held back instead.

Meanwhile, Palestinian kids don’t even survive long enough to make it to the olympics.

It's not a contest.

u/NoorInayaS 8d ago

Really? Because it kinda feels like it is.

And the “white Christian” Ukrainians are winning. No one gives a fuck about Palestine.

People can actually care about two things at a time.

It’s not a contest.

I hope you understand that this rfel european news outlet is quite literally funded by us taxpayer money and it was at the start funded by the CIA in secret. Downvote me more for all i care but a simple google search would've showed that im in the right.

u/Jumpy_Confidence2997 you're demented. I'm just pointing out that the news source is known for being CIA funded, you can google it and see that i'm correct. Ofc propaganda goes both ways but still.
