How do you cope with the fact that some random illiterate guy who hasn't read a book since high school is less of a pussy than you and most likely experiences a more fulfilling existence than you could possibly imagine?

Being a pussy is underrated. If you really need to know why, feel free to go actually fight in a war.

I practised martial arts for a year of my life but switched to lifting and can bench press 120% my body weight. It was getting better by the day last year since I challenged myself to do something scary each day but then covid hit and I went back to being my alienated schizoid self.

That's beside the point, we can idealize other people's life all we want - there's always someone who has it better with less effort and someone who has it worse while putting in more effort. What I was trying to convey is the displeasure of being unable to transfer the author's attitudes into pragmatic action.

I unironically would if the wars of today weren't fought for kike overlords' causes.

A soldier is a soldier. We don't fight because we care about the cause, we fight because we are soldiers, and we are soldiers because we want to fight. If Junger wouldn't agree with me, he would at least understand. I think he'd understand better than most.

have fun with your faggy ancient poetry, anon

Read the Ion dialogue. It has a good discussion on this. Fiction doesn't make you an actual expert on what is described within the story.

Um sweetie, wars are won by the resolute not by psychos throwaway mercs.

That's why Vietnam defeated a superpower and Yemen is holding on against oil giants with infinite money that surround them on the peninsula.

There is a heroism and grace in a war and it is not adrenaline chasing, go do shitty street running on the building or some shit for that.

If you can't recognize what a CIB looks like, that says a hell of a lot more about your proximity to the rear echelon than it does about mine.

What year did you deploy?

Umm I am not a mutt and conscription is voluntary (thanks to mutt world order) that I served 6 months and am reservist for my people. What about you? Having options to die for kikes and globalism? I understand why these concepts of heroism eludes you and don't blame you, I'd be the same in muttland.

See you're a pussy, I just threatened to kill you and abuse your family and all you do is being an apologetic cuck

>bragging about being a fucking loser who joined the U.S. Army
Thank you for your service

>>16917670
So you are admitting that you don't actually know first-hand how wars are fought, who fights in them, or what components grace and heroism play in war. You don't know any of that because you've never experienced actual war. Why are you trying to speak definitively on it?

>>16917634
Junger served in a time when military service was mandatory and that changes everything

>>16917688
not too sure you have an accurate image of jungers service history

>>16917688
Was it mandatory for Junger to join the French Foreign Legion?
