The media will hype "the troops" while ignoring the fact that "the troops" are being killed for oil, to make billionaires richer.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 days ago

it's worse that that: a sizeable percentage of the troops know that they're killing innocent people, but doing it anyways because of orders.

some try to make up for it after committing those monstrous acts, but i doubt that's possible since their voices are just as muted as any leftist.

At least 153 girls in the first attack.

American soldiers are scum.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

According to the asswipe Krasnov, the 3 US soldiers that died yesterday were " a great deal for the rest of the world." Fuck him and his illegal war.

America loves thier soldiers until they have to take care of them

So much this. The same people saying "thank you for your service" are the same people that constantly want to cut veteran services. Sure they care when you're a tool for their goals, but why can't you then just instantly become an invisible member of society once you're done?

Oh, you want more?! Wasn't service enough for you? How dare you be traumatized by killing people and having bombs nearly blow you up! Maybe you should be a man.

But maybe I'm just too sensitive about this...

There's no contradiction here. The US military exists to preserve and extend capitalism. Taking care of veterans would be socialist. Being abandoned by the state, as soon as you no longer serve a purpose for generating profit, is the best way to say thank you. It shows that everything you fought for is successful and working better than ever!

"Don't worry! I'll come back and be venerated as a hero for protecting Western imperialism. And possibly become a "progressive" candidate for Maine, if I get enough nazi tattoos."

they are killing people worldwide because they are imperialistic nazis, not because they are afraid of any consequences related to epstein, because there won't be.

I despise anyone who becomes a soldier of their own free will. The moment you enlist, you accept that you could be obliged to kill, and that you will have no control over whether that killing will be justified.

In other words, you accept the possibility that you could become a murderer.

That's why the US likes to keep a well stocked under class which makes the Army one of the few options to get out of abject poverty.
