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.

                Lmao get the fuck out of here. It’s not pedantic to point out you making shit up.

                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.

                That’s pretty much what they do

                  The dozen comments asking me to clarify my pretty clear position would disagree with you.

                  “But what about the doctors that treat the wounds they got from killing people, surely they’re not complicit” is a pretty great example of it.

                  Again I’ve had to clarify my position of “everybody who supports the MIC is culpable” about 6 times now. So no they deffinitly will not just shut the fuck up.

                  You replying for a fourth time insisting they do just shut up and let other people be also not a great example.

                    You think everyone you’re talking to in this thread was in the military?

                    You replying for a fourth time

                    Lol you think I was?
