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

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.

claim that they didn’t do anything wrong

I’ve yet to see anyone here who was a troop claim this. It’s almost always the exact opposite, where seeing (and participating in) the business end of imperialism up close was a radicalizing experience.

Ok they admit they did something wrong but think they should be forgiven and welcomed back I to the fold without people pointing out they were already convinced once to do genocide by fascists.

That clear enough you pedantic pain in the ass.

If they’re aware of the fact they participated in carrying out genocidal goals for the American empire they should keep their fucking mouths shut about it and just say “I’m her to support the cause” and deal with what should be soul crushing guilt internally.
