Buccino had closely followed the reports of the 13 Americans killed & >200 injured in the #US & #Israel #war in #Iran.

But Trump’s top communications team, he said, had decided to treat the international conflict like a big joke. #Veterans who were already questioning the war’s strategy & endgame, he added, were unnerved to find the nation’s highest office posting pop-music-scored clips of missile strikes, mixed with footage from Call of Duty & “SpongeBob SquarePants.”

The MAGA losers and Trump jerkoffs who will never face combat outside of a shitty bar parking lot are the majority of those boosted views.

@Nonilex I would take the supposed “disgust” of these veterans and service members more seriously if I had not already learned that our armed forces will happily kill unarmed civilians on boats, and happily kill unarmed children in a school, so long as the person giving the orders has the right shinies on their chest.

When the retired #US #Army colonel Joe Buccino first saw White House posts mixing #Iran #war footage with clips from cartoons & video games, he felt something he had rarely experienced from US #military messaging: disgust.
The #veteran, who served multiple tours in Iraq & Afghanistan, & was formerly a spox for CENTCOM, had seen firsthand the sacrifices the nation’s service members made in combat.

This is what happens when we elect people who don't give a dam about who they kill for personal profit.

“They’re completely diminishing what they’re asking the nation to do in Iran,” Buccino said in an interview. “It seems almost obscene relative to the actual violence and suffering that’s involved with this.”

…as the #war enters its 4th week, the #Trump admin is facing increasing pushback from #veterans’ groups that argue that the meme strategy makes a mockery of a serious conflict & obscures questions about its human costs.
