American soldiers are overwhelmingly from vulnerable classes of people. They’re typically poor, lack a college degree, are from a minority, trying to getting citizenship, or otherwise just trying to improve their circumstances. Have you ever met soldiers? They’re literally just normal people. Saying they chose war is like saying that a coal miner choose to get black lung.

As for Iran’s massacre of it’s own civilians, that’s been covered by the news world wide. Quite frankly it’s nearly irrefutable.
