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

    Well except trying to lump in people who provide counseling after the fact that's a pretty obvious bullshit false equivalency but I suspect you know you were reaching for that example.

    Not really, there are psychiatrists, counselors, etc who are in the military doing the same job they would outside the military. Are they more complicit than the contracted workers?

      Is their work facilitating the soldiers being able to murder people sooner?

      If so than yes, they are more complicit than psychologists who don't get soldiers cleared to get back on the frontlines asap.

      It is increasingly hilarious to watch you attempt to make this out to be a complicated moral issue.

      Here's a handy flow chart.

      Does their work enable current active duty service members to more quickly and easily kill innocent people?

      Yes --> they are bad

      No --> they are not bad

      Hell, let's turn it around and go back to the current thread were in.

      So does all this mean that actually you can't criticize the idf because everybody is equally culpable for what's going on in Gaza and the idf is going to be the vanguard of Palestinian liberation any day now?

      Expecting the American MIC to be instramental to the socialist revolution in this country sure does feel an awful lot like when democrats keep convincing themselves lifelong republican removed like muller comey and garland are going to fight their battles for them and take down a sitting republican president.

      Or like how they whitewashed Bush because he gave Michelle Obama a piece of candy one time.

        What about the normal doctors? They patch up soldiers and help them kill more.

          Sweet fucking christ this really isn't fucking difficult. Yes

          If so than yes, they are more complicit than doctors who don't get soldiers cleared to get back on the frontlines asap.

          No --> they are not bad

          Was that supposed to be a gotcha? Like I said it's increasingly hilarious to watch people try to make this complicated.

          The soldiers deserve the injuries they receive (and more) as a result of being a genocidal imperialist.

          Please reference the flow chart I have already provided.

            So kill the psychiatrists too, they help the soldiers just a little slower.

              Again, yes I'm literally not sure why anybody is having a hard time with this.

              For the third fucking consecutive time please refer to this handy flow chart I have already provided.

              Does their work enable current active duty service members to more quickly and easily kill innocent people?

              Yes --> they are bad

              No --> they are not bad

              Let's do a little exercise since apparently you need more practice.

              Answer the first question, and then try to follow this super complicated flow chart and tell me what answer you get instead of literally just asking me to walk you through it for various specific examples.

                Seems like it's not an obvious false example by your own admission. That is you can't read your handy format.

                  You really going to make me explain to you for a fourth time the difference between psychiatrists who dont facilitate troops returning to active duty and those that do?

                  And your going to follow that up with accusing me of not having reading comprehension?

                  Bold fucking move cotton.
