I’ve had multiple family members deployed to active warzones.
Whenever we talked about war, it was never about politics. It was always “X’s tour is supposed to finish next month,” or “I heard something happened near [town], wasn’t X deployed near there?”
I know how everyone talks about it on the internet, but what is it like for you at home?
Not a Jew, but my family’s Jewish, and it’s about as difficult as you’d expect. They get offended by the slightest implication that maybe Israel isn’t perfect, assume I support Hamas just because I’m opposed to the IDF killing children - to clarify, I’m opposed to anyone killing children, including Hamas. We don’t talk about it that much though.
