every single one; when I see a shitty tel aviv influencer join the IDF, I look forward to them being exploded by heroic Hamas resistance fighters; I pray constantly for their violent death

People really fell for the “the US army is made of poor people doing what they can to survive” propaganda of the 00s.

You’re right. I’m sorry, I’m sure the work you’ve done after while being committed to leftist ideals has outweighed all the crimes against humanity you either committed or enabled while you were enlisted. I’m sorry for implying that the data reflects that your personal story is an outlier when it is actually the norm and we have tons of ex military out here doing the work of undoing the harm they caused.

It’s really wild to see a bunch of people that theoretically understand and think with materialistic determination in mind to claim that they didn’t do anything wrong by serving for years in the literal armed wing of American imperialism.

“Sure I was the literal triggerman for a genocidal empire and perpetuated a half dozen illegal wars for American hegemony but I’m on your side now, you can trust me.”

We should be all set as long as somebody else doesn’t swing through offering them a 14% loan on a camaro.
