I think many were also against those wars. I would prefer much more surgical strikes rather than war, ultimately those special ops were the ones that were successful against those involved in 9/11.

There also was no forced conscription in those. The military members knew what they were getting into and made a choice to sign up anyway. That's no longer the case in Ukraine, the border is closed, citizens cannot leave, they are being rounded up and forced into a few weeks of bootcamp then to the front-lines to die. That's the antithesis of freedom.
