this might be an unpopular opinion but i kinda hate it when people make buck a navy seal instead of a navy seal dropout like. occasionally i've seen people using an au to do it decently but i feel like most of the time its dickriding the us military

#okay but what if he did decide to go kill people #just so i can have trauma for him #like the tragedy of combat in afghanistan is NOT primarily that us soldiers were traumatized because of the people they killed!#the tragedy of us military presence in afghanistan is the staggering number of civilian casualties as a result #911 #911 abc #anyway buck's whole point was that he could not turn off his emotions and be a machine #how else am i supposed to interpret that if not that he could not stop seeing “the enemy” as a person and not a target?#evan buckley was not meant to kill anyone #in b4 anyone says: i'm not trying to rag on eddie either; i understand that military service in american tv is often a shorthand #for duty honor and trauma i get that #but buck specifically cites his own emotions (his COMPASSION) as why he could not stay with the seals #and then people are like #babes get ur trauma elsewhere he is NOT a military boy #ok my tags got long im sorry #really hope im not swinging a bat at a hornets nest here tho lmao
