MSNBC Demands Trump Troops Off Streets, Ignores Biden's Endless Wars
MSNBC, ever vigilant against domestic militarization (when Trump is president), used Veterans Day to urge readers to demand troops off American streets. A noble sentiment, perhaps, if it weren't so selectively applied. The same outlets that decried Trump's hypothetical domestic deployments often cheer on endless wars abroad, funded by your tax dollars and spearheaded by presidents they prefer.
Remember when the US deployed over 30,000 troops to the Middle East in response to the October 7th attacks, deepening a regional quagmire? Silence from these quarters. Their outrage, it seems, is less about military overreach and more about who holds the presidential office. The media's selective memory for military actions is truly remarkable. While concern for troops on US soil is valid, where
is the consistent outrage for the *actual* millions deployed in actual foreign wars, often without a clear objective or end date? One might wonder if their ethical compass is simply a political compass disguised as journalism. It's almost as if 'supporting our troops' only applies when it's convenient to criticize the current administration's domestic policy, but not when it means questioning the
military-industrial complex that feeds their campaign coffers.
