I'm just worried for the troops. The fuckers sending them are ultimately responsible, but the troops should have been warmed not to expose themselves to danger like this.
they joined voluntarily. f them.
Not every body joined to carry out a fascist regimes whims, some joined before and are contracted for years. Some people have no option but the military if they want to have health care for their kids. It's an unfortunate truth that many good people are in the military because it's the only way to provide for their family, and a blanket fuck all military members statement shows just how ignorant and stupid you are.
Every single one of them participate in or abet the acts of aggression, crimes, and atrocities carried out across the many conflicts the U.S. is participating and has participated in. As has been pointed out, they help facilitate the killing of civilians, many of which are impoverished.
The fact they're joining for the benefits does not excuse them in any way.
The very last part of your last sentence is a confession.
