    Possibly ignorant question: I think I’m understanding that the irony here is a US soldier pretending to religious piety (and getting praised for it) while serving a genocidal regime, but what is that construction with pallets and vegetation? Is it a makeshift attempt at some specific religious observance?

      To put it simple, is a sukkah, the sukkah is a temporary hut built for the week long (7 days staying inside it) festival of Sukkot.

    What the hell, why does that have so many upvotes? I could understand the rating if it looked fancy but that is the saddest looking sukkah that I have ever seen. I’d be unsurprised if somebody mistook it for an unfinished outhouse.

    Also, good grief, what is wrong with these simpletons? Do they think that the U.S. military only made a couple of teensy mistakes during its invasions of Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and so on? Do they at least know what U.S. military culture is like? Most U.S. soldiers aren’t exactly nice people.

      Americans are taught from birth that military service is the greatest, most noble, most honorable thing you can do and that everyone who serves is a hero deserving of worship bordering on saintly veneration.

      They “defend” our “freedom” and keep us “safe” or whatever.

      It’s a cult.
