    Here we go again with the “I’m poor so I’m going to cowardly murder defenseless brown people so I can get an education”.
    Then stay in your own country and do crimes there.
    Fuck them. And fuck the whitewashers.

      The military is such a large set of people that writing them off like this serves nobody but the ones who want them to become Nazis.

      I love our troops. I could never be one. I hate what they do. But they are my fellow Americans. And they aren’t the oligarchs. So I’m with them.

          Lmao I’m an anarcho-syndicalist. And a pragmatist. Enjoy your beautiful island once you burn every bridge and cede every position to the actual enemies.

            Agreed, nearly every major leftist political figure and thinker has talked about the importance of making the military turn their guns on the capitalists.

              I’m sorry for what was done to you, but he is not the enemy here. My country was bombed too.

      The overwhelming majority of jobs in the military never see combat. Only some even contribute to combat operations. And no, the person working in finance processing paychecks does not contribute to combat operations.

      People join the military because it provides the socialist systems that should be available to everyone. Go out and talk to a couple hundred servicemembers. You’ll be able to count on one hand how many joined out of pure patriotism and not as a means to avoid poverty.

      It’s easy to look down on them from a position of privilege. A lot of people don’t have that luxury. A lot of times they have virtually no other means to obtain healthcare, education, financial security, or a means to leave their town. Those needs outweigh any satisfaction they might get from up on that high horse you’re on.

      The military also has the most potential to stand up to the government.
