Yea… the majority of the people in the military are just working class folk who wanted to go to school but couldn’t afford it.
We've heard this one a million times before. It's not impressive. Everyone I know is working class and couldn't afford school. None of them signed up to drop bombs on brown people for Raytheon stonks. Troops in the imperial core can pipe down, reeducate themselves, apologize for their direct and active participation in imperialism/colonialism, and get in line behind all their working class comrades as followers rather than leaders of the various liberation movements. If they want to be at the front of anything it can be at the front lines of the militant wing of the working class movement, contributing their combat skills to defending rather than attacking the workers. If they weren't afraid to die for the burger reich then they shouldn't be afraid to die for the working class. Then the rest of the working class can forgive them if they feel like it. But what happens more often than not is they are constantly engaging in this pick me ass behavior where they need to remind everyone what a small and innocent bean they were when they were tricked into dropping white phosphorous on iraqis or whatever. they are constantly holding their support hostage from the working class, whining about how the working class is too mean and alienating to them for calling them out, and how the rest of the working class should shut up and parrot the idea that they were "tricked." The implication being that, if they don't get their way, they'll withhold support or join reactionaries instead. Good riddance!
