I remember a bunch of Iraq/Afghanistan war vets going out in the first couple of months, getting hit with airstrikes and artillery and then immediately noping out lmao
Those articles they wrote about how they didn’t have access to airstrikes to “shape the battlefield”, being unable to just call in a medivac helicopter for every stubbed toe, being told to hold a trench to the death instead of going on special operations missions, and otherwise finding out that war is actually dangerous when your opponent can fight back were
Some “operator” right before being told to charge across a minefield and assault a prepared defensive position- “What do you mean I can’t UberEats some BurgerKing? War really is hell!”

Every US army tough guy immediately turning around and fleeing the moment they find out there’s no cafeteria in the trenches and no children to murder

Apparently it’s a lot harder when your side isn’t the one with air, armor, and artillery superiority
