Look closely at pack rat's post: he FAILED to enlarge the font: "??...LoLPack Rat wrote: Sat Apr 04, 2026 10:36 am We are on a war footing. That's a temporary sugar high for the economy. At least Trump and all his family members and billionaire friends are WAR PROFITING.
Fukkk the safety net for the working poor. All we ask from the peasants is that they provide more cannon fodder for our mighty war machine!
". Silly rat.And "cannon fodder"? NOTE that
1) we have an all volunteer military, so that entire term is misused and intended to alarm the non-thinking; i.e., is comment by a A TROLL, that we have established is what pack rat is, a self-loathing troll.
2) NO ground troops have been committed to this war (except those to rescue our downed airmen from the F-15), so there is NO "cannon fodder" unlike the Iranians used in their war vs. Iraq. Again, another BLUNDER by the silly, lying, self-loathing, and dung loving person called pack rat.
During the brutal Iran-Iraq War (1980–1988), thousands of Iranian children were sent to the front lines. Many volunteered after being influenced by state propaganda, religious ideology, and societal pressure.

For the first time in four decades, they recount memories they have never shared, even with their own families.
The Iran-Iraq War, one of the longest and deadliest conflicts of the past century, not only claimed countless lives but also robbed thousands of children and adolescents of their innocence, thrusting them into the horrors of war.

U.S. and Western moral values and Iran’s embrace of child martyrdom are clearly incompatible.
Is the diplomatic option viable when dealing with Iran’s ayatollahs, who since 1979 have promoted child martyrdom in their school curriculum and on the battlefield?
Brainwashing children into martyrdom is presented by the ayatollahs as an extension of the Shia mythology surrounding the 680 CE Battle of Karbala, which was the Big Bang of the Sunni-Shia conflict and a model for martyrdom. During the battle, Hussain ibn Ali, the third Shia Imam and grandson of Muhammad, and his warriors—including children—were betrayed and massacred by the Sunni Caliph Yazid.
Using children for martyrdom purposes was commonplace during the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq War, during which children were used for mine-sweeping and other suicide missions.
According to the Geneva-based Refworld, an arm of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, “[Iranian] child soldiers, some as young as nine, were used extensively during the Iran-Iraq war. … They were given ‘keys to paradise’ and promised that they would go directly to heaven if they died as martyrs against the Iraqi enemy.”
Where is the pack rat, to denounce these evil men exploiting children? He is defending the Iranian "leaders" the leaders of evil. What a silly and self-loathing rat-like and utterly DESPICABLE hypocritical person HE IS.
