AIBU to not want to go to war

It's expensive and it hurts and it helps nothing, it just puts innocent sons, brothers, fathers, uncles and friends through the meat grinder. The only people who benefit are those who make a fortune from selling weapons and are granted contracts for reconstruction.

Haven't we learnt anything? What happened to "never again".

AIBU to really really really not want to be involved in any war?

At a RG university, one is taught how to reference the correct source.

It was a snobby comment, but the OP is giving fringe sociology diploma vibes, so it’s probably accurate.

i have been to 4 different universities for various academic reasons, only one of them Russell Group. All 3 of the others taught/reminded about proper referencing. Where did you get the idea it was a Russell Group thing?
Edit: seen it was a joke. I really dislike these ‘jokes’ about universities other than RG.

It wasn’t even a joke hinging on RG or not, it was a convenient one because the poster accidentally supplied the wrong link.

I’ve been to 2 RG universities and was not taught comedy at either of them.
