The American military always took the lives of its servicemen seriously. In many stories from WW2, even after an American plane was shot down, the pilot ejected, and soon after, a rescue plane would land on the water to pick them up and take off, returning to the aircraft carrier, often to fly back out against the Japanese for another shot at bombing the battleship. The Japanese sailors were shocked at this audacious display, which showed that not only did the Americans have the depth in equipment, but also in personnel to be able to pull off these kinds of rescues in the middle of a massive naval battle. This scene ended up getting into the movie "Yamato" released in 2005, because the stories were so impactful to the Japanese military psyche, especially near the end of the war. This then became a meme video to emphasize the audacity of Americans. So yes. The American military treats our soldiers like they are priceless in battle, easily worth hundreds of millions.

Die Rettung eines abgeschossenen US-Piloten im Iran hat die USA etwa 300 Millionen $ an Ausrüstung gekostet. Beeindruckend und bewundernswert, was dem US-Militär das Leben seiner Soldaten wert ist.

The left are showing more "outrage" at Trump for his 'no man left behind' mission to save American servicemen, because some aircraft were damaged, yet all heroes were saved. Obama sent more in literal US cash on a pallet to the Islamic regime, and they all clapped along. Classic TDS.

@seisei_san @MoterSensha It's very honorable, you have to respect it. Another difference between Japan and America is that if a soldier fought well enough we would pull them from the front line and make them train new recruits and from my understanding, especially with pilots, Japan didn't do this.

We Japanese witnessed this more than half a century ago when we fought against the Americans. When one of their military aircraft was shot down and the pilot found himself adrift alone in the vast Pacific, they did not hesitate to send out a Catalina flying boat to search for him and rescue him, despite the risk of being shot down themselves. We were not capable of doing that. And so we were defeated. In that sense, the Americans have not changed at all since those days. That is precisely what makes them America.

To say that they were "European in name only " is like saying a child has no connection with his parents because he left home. The philosophy you mentioned is the enlightenment which started in Europe and greatly influenced the European colonies and the founders. Jefferson was also greatly influenced by Locke, etc. That is not to say that America did not bring something new to the world. It did, of course, but it is the last child of the Western civilization. A beautiful, rebellious and today very powerful child, much more than its old parents, but still belonging to a lineage, not a country born ex nihilo.

I think this touches on something much deeper. Something that, in my view, is quite unique to Western civilization and one of the many reasons why the West has prospered and continues to prosper more than many other parts of the world. When a country like the United States invests enormous resources to bring its people who went MIA home, or when a country like Israel sacrifices so much in order to rescue its people who were kidnapped by Palestinians, it tells you something important about the values of those societies. These are often the same countries portrayed as cruel or immoral in global propaganda. Yet their actions show a very different reality: a profound commitment to the value of human life. Now, let's compare that to regimes that treat their own people as expendable. Putin has sent wave after wave of his own people to die as cannon fodder. The Iranian regime recruits children into the Basij for security duties and in the past even sent young boys into minefields during the Iran Iraq war. Hamas and other Palestinian jihadist movements openly glorify martyrdom and encourage children to aspire to die as “martyrs”. This contrast matters. Civilizations reveal their true values in how they treat human life, especially the lives of their own people. The West is far from perfect. No society is. But the fact that millions of people still strive to immigrate to Western countries and NEVER the other way around, and that the most prosperous and free economies are overwhelmingly Western, is not a coincidence. Do not fall for simplistic propaganda. When you look closely at the values behind the actions, the West remains one of the most humane and advanced civilizations humanity has produced.

@ToweringOtakunt @gatorgar Seems like it's specifically a rural southern American thing that grandparents used to do back when they were kids. (supposedly farmers used to do it as well)

@gatorgar See, I was sitting here wondering if it was something I've just never heard of before. There's some states that just have some absolute heathenry going on with their local delicacies. Is this actually a thing anywhere or are you guys just fucking with the Japanese bros?

@Devon_Eriksen_ They did not look around at the rubble and form the wrong conclusions. The conclusions were forced on them by occupying American forces. Massive unrelenting propaganda and reeducation programmes where imposed.

Devon Eriksen@Devon_Eriksen_·
Europe's disease is not a disease of America. It is a disease of World War 2. In 1946, after we rescued them from themselves and each other, Europeans crawled out of the rubble they had made of their continent, looked around at their mess, wept for a bit, and then formed the wrong conclusions. They decided that ethnic nations are bad. That patriotism is bad. That supporting your tribe, in preference to random strangers, is bad. They decided that these things had led to the horrors of global war and genocide in Europe itself, and so all vestiges of loyalty to one's own people must be stamped out. Nations were, forever afterward, to be post-ethnic, post-cultural legal and economic units filled with... well, anyone, really. A bunch of people who didn't, in fact shouldn't, share values, goals, morals, customs, or even a common language. Nations were to be mere fiefs, their boundaries determined by which set of political elites controlled them. America, having not been smashed to rubble in WW2, did not share this view. We saw WW2 as an expensive adventure in bailing out Europe, which we spent our treasure and our blood on (including my own grandfather's life, and his chance to ever see his grandson) precisely because we shared cultural and ethical values with the people we were rescuing. But they hate us for it. They see our patriotism as fascism precisely because they see all patriotism as fascism. Psychologists have long understood that humans respond to favors with gratitude only up until those favors become so great that they have no hope of repaying them. At that point, their gratitude turns to resentment. How dare we believe we did them a favor? How dare I believe that my father gave up his father so Europe could be safe, peaceful, and free? Don't we know that, because ${ELABORATE MENTAL GYMNASTICS}, we didn't do them any favors by fighting that war? Don't we know that, because ${ANY PATRIOTISM = HITLER}, our love of our country and favoring of its interests makes us fascist and problematic? Well, no. I don't know that. I don't think any European nation is our ally any more. Certainly, we have shared interests, but how much does that really matter, when they refuse to act in those shared interests, because they have come to believe that acting in your people's interest is bad? They hate us too much to work with us. They resent every ounce of the burden which they are asked to share. Our support has made Europe into a pack of idle welfare recipients, complete with sense of entitlement and self-destructive behavior. But if we didn't defend them... who would? Their native populations have been purged of all patriotism, and who would blame them if they didn't fight for ruling elites that hate them? Their imported third-world barbarians won't fight for them. The very idea is laughable. What's left? And what will make them wake up and think about these questions? Perhaps they need to dig themselves out of the rubble of another war.

@CynicalPublius Please just take your bases and leave. Europe needs to stand on its own two feet, for sure. We outsourced our security to America. But that outsourcing was a catastrophe. The entire continent has been invaded and destroyed under your 'protection'. For the love of God, go.

@WelDemi161 In America, there is two bins, garbage(everything else) and recycle (cardboard, plastic, glass, metal). That is it. In some places, both bins go to the garbage.

Japan is the guy who got drunk at the bar one night, jumped your ass, and gave you a black eye before you got back up and handed him such a Biblical ass-whooping that it ended with you tossing him through the bar's window. But instead of killing him as you hauled him up to deliver the finishing blow, you both started laughing about "Well at least you're not a fucking Communist." You then dusted each other off, limped back inside the bar, and started chatting about your hobbies over shots of Sake and Jack Daniels. Now, decades later, you consider him to be a better brother to you than your actual blood relatives.

@LugoRights @Mil2Roro @EllaTravelsLove Destroying a country dead set on killing all Americans and forcing China to negotiate with the US is definitely Isreal only. IMPORT ALL MUSLIMS TO THE USA TO RAPE US ALL. This will definitely show Isreal doesn't own us.

@Mil2Roro @EllaTravelsLove 1) No. This war was started by Israel to destroy their last regional adversary at whatever expense it costs to the United States. None of the Gulf states benefit from this. 2) The long term costs of this war going on indefinitely, which is the Iran strategy.
