      There was never a draft for the Iraq war. It was all volunteers.

      Edit - not saying I agree with anything about the war, but just clarifying that fact - people that joined the military did so voluntarily. No one was coerced or forced to go against their will.

          So many lives lost over a stupid “Mission Accomplished” campaign. Fuck Bus

          And let’s not forget, the US’ guy in Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai, was a Zelensky-esque darling of the DC Establishment too. He even gave speeches in Congress and was specially honored during the State of the Union. We learned later on that he was corrupt as hell and making a lot of money off of being the US’ puppet. I will not be surprised when a few years have passed and we learn similar things about Zelensky.
