I don't think we would be any happier if they said "I have no clue why aid to Ukraine is bad except Donald told me it is."

Why would we be unhappy, and who is "they" in this statement?

Well, you need to spend it on the right things. Military, border protection, deporting illegal immigrants, funding the police, expanding the prisons, anti-woke school curriculums, ....

Sounds like you have the makings of a promising career as a republican, syt.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

I love the fact that the godtalkers cannot comprehend punctuation or capitalization.  If only they had an infallible god to correct all of their posts before they hit the internet.  Stories can be both dumb and properly written.

If the dude's Marine buddies were fighting and dying for the professor's right to say stupid stuff like that, the dude betrayed his buddies.

You missed the point. The point is he gets to punch a college professor. All else is secondary in that story.

But he feels the need to construct a rationale.  He feels the need for justification.  Hence he has unwittingly entered into the dialectic.

Also the implication is that all US marines who die in combat are evil because not worthy of God's protection.

Military is woke now.  Feminized.  The marine who got triggered by the prof is just fighting back the only way available. Main force.
PDH!

Also, an all powerful God can't seem to prevent war.

That all makes sense now since God apparently has a limited range of power. God can't possibly prevent the idiocy of a student assaulting a professor, and do all the other things God needs to do.

And the marine cockily declares that he knows what is doing.
