I'm not a scolding, you know, asshole.

And I went on spring break.

I, you know, went to Jamaica and, you know, had a good time or whatever.

But I would say, yeah.

There's something – here's what I would ask people.

Extending the grace that I don't expect every college kid who's on spring break to be following the intricacies of a war in Iran, but we are bombing this country.

And the two things I would ask are –

what is the grace you extend to a 19-year-old Iranian or Lebanese college student, right?

Like, why is it okay that, you know, we can go around and just break countries and bomb people and kill their leaders and blow up their universities and just think it's charming and wonderful that, you know, people are thinking about their bikini tan or how drunk they're going to get tonight?

Like, there's something grotesque about that.

But the second thing is...

How does that clip look to anyone else in the world who's not American?

Like that's what I just think we really need to consider here because we cannot simultaneously want to be the superpower that runs the world and that launches all these wars.

The reason we can do that –

Is because of what we just saw, like the reason we can continue to do stupid things.

And by the way, I'd be pissed if I was a 19 year old American who just got deployed to the fucking Middle East.

Yeah.

Right.

Because it's not.

So now let's now let's defend the military.
