and yet the neocons claim our actions don’t have negative consequences

A few things:
1. You can’t act violently towards people and expect any good to come of it.
2. I’m surprised you put up this video with the narrator decrying the lack of state social services and education.
3. It is worth noting that zealots or those who fight due to emotion tend to make terrible armies. True military might is derived from greed and industrial infrastructure. I’m not saying that we’re not making things exceptionally hard for ourselves in the years ahead, but I am saying in terms of an actual global conflict the bitter generation of an industrially small country is not your biggest concern. Sometimes I find it hard not to believe that the forces behind our current war will not lead us into a much larger conflict.

2.Why? The topic of the video was the children, not the statist narrator. If I didn’t post sources because I didn’t agree with their spin I’d have next to nothing to post.
3. Who said anything about armies? These kids grow up to be freedom fighters/terrorists. They can do a lot with very little. Note 9/11.

2. ok
3. To be honest with you I think being concerned about terrorism is largely unfounded. I’m worried about armies because I think the war of the future is going to be more of a massive conflict.

I didn’t say I was concerned with terrorism. Just that terrorism is more likely IMO then armies of effecting my life except the US military. It doesn’t seem to me modern warfare is “massive” in the way WWII was massive. In fact given the massiveness of government and the ways in which they go to coerce their subjects war appears to be getting less invasive.
