Friction in /r/Frisson sends commenters to war over whether soldiers are being used by the old and bitter.

Yeah I'm pretty sure unironically quoting GTA is pretty close to r/iam14andthisisdeep territory.

There might be a kernal of truth to it in regards to more recent wars, but referring to US soldiers in Vietnam as stupid and being tricked is pretty dumb. I think "young and poor are forced..." would be a bit more accurate.

Except Vietnam was as much of a sham of a war as the war in Iraq was.
