    Rich kids as is custom end up in cushy admin positions under a general rather than anything facing combat

    Hell, send the people in congress and in the misadministration who want this war to fight in it

    The same people who’ve never served a day want to send other people’s kids to die for a war they started. That’s not new, but it never stops being enraging.

    even if we sent them it wouldn’t matter. They’d get the ww1 prince treatment. Tea and cookies all day in their fancy tent while everyone else suffers and dies

    Nah Don Jr and Eric are too busy starting drone companies and getting no bid DOD contracts courtesy of the new “need” for them in Iran while Baron runs the family crypto grift

  6. Result: Iran wins the war in about 2 days.

    I get the meaning but remember who their parents are too, they’re massively incompetent 🤣

    Would be fun watching Barron try and repel an assault by *checks notes* turning on a laptop though.

  7. FDR’s sons all fought in WW II. 2 in the Navy, 1 in the Marines. FDR Jr commanded destroyer escorts in both the Atlantic and Pacific theaters. Not like today.

    this is barrons chance to step up…enlist in the military as a combat soldier. go thru basic training and be shipped off to a frontline position. be the first to lead a charge into a fortified enemy position. give his young life for a senseless war that his dad started. comeback in a coffin draped with the american flag.
    step up barron trump and be an american hero!

  9. I think every politician that is in favor of fighting wars for Israel should go to fight as well. If they’re willing to get other people’s kids killed or maimed, they should be willing to go fight alongside them.

  10. Send the actual billionaires. See if bullets give them the special treatment they are used to.

    Or let’s leave kids out of it entirely and force the Ayatollah and Diapered One to weakly slap-fight each other for life in a 5×5 cell while the rest of us go on with our lives.

  12. Time to start throwing some Old Timey Religion back at these f*ckers:

    …And pestilent and impious men will rule over them, who proclaim
    themselves to be righteous. And they will excite their wrathful souls;
    they will be deceitful men, self-complacent, hypocrites in all their
    dealings, and who love to debauch each hour of the day, devourers,
    gluttons…..saying they do this out of compassion…murderers,
    complainers, liars, hiding themselves lest they be recognized as impious,
    full of crime and iniquity, from sunrise to sunset a saying:
    ‘Let us have extravagant banquets, let
    us eat and drink. And let us act as if we are princes.’ “

    Minimally, start by sending ICE. This trigger happy morons should be thrilled about the opportunity.

    If the ruling class had to send its own members to war, there would be a hell of a lot fewer wars.
