They just made a bigger shotgun, apparently

Anyone that works at a 'defense' company thinking up new weapons should be shunned from society, tarred and feathered, and placed on a national registry like sex offenders. I want to know if I'm living next to the guy that invented cluster bombs

Yep, they need to be ostricised.. maybe have a "W" carved into their forehead so they can't hide their warmungering ways

Who knew shrugging off and defending war criminals while putting them on pedestals created more daring and apathetic war criminals?

did you pay taxes in the US or bought US goods?

Thcdenton@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 132d

Taxation is theft

There's a reason the Bouncing Betty was outlawed.

There's a reason that the use of white phosphorus in explosives was made illegal.

These things were adjudged to cause outsize pain and suffering and were rightly banned.

Now we have seen the use of white phosphorus by the United States, and now the deployment of a weapon that cannot help but cause suffering and painful death.

And people question why we can't have free health care in the US.
Well here it is. Tax dollars funneled into military weapons contracts to make new toys that inflict as much pain and suffering as possible. And then gloat about it.
