I don't think what you're saying here is unfair. I will also point out that the intentions of troops matter little to their victims, which I think is really the point the meme is making.

How I feel rn: 😮‍💨

Yeah, me too. yea

Of course it doesn't I completely agree with you, but honestly the military is fucking demonic and the urge to harm other people can come from lots of places, I wish I could say I'm immune to it I'm not sadly and neither are you probably. I think you're misinterpreting the meme a bit, I feel it's a lot more mean spirited. This isn't a personal attack by the way.

Hey, this is also not a personal attack. I don’t know if I’m the outlier here or not, but I figured I’d mention it and others can weigh in.

I don’t get the urge to hurt people, not that I don’t hurt people, but it’s unintentional. I get the urge to prove people wrong, but I only feel dread when I need to hurt people (not harm them, but I’m a teacher, so I have to have tough conversations with students sometimes).

If you get the urge to hurt people, vote this comment down, if you don’t, vote it up.

I've worked for various militaries and governments, the decisions I've made have hurt people, when I say hurt I don't mean physical harm but the choices I've made have impacted people lives. When people celebrate war they have the urge to hurt people whether they want to admit it or not.
