i dont get leftists who shit on enlisted soliders. most everyone, including you before you were a leftist, doesn't know that the military serves to extract resources, and create profit. Most enlisted ppl do it bc it is simply the best option to escape poverty for them, family pressures, or think they are doing good and helping people like they have been told since birth
here is an ok video about the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0wZH6meDdc
Are you really saying poor people are too stupid to know that the US military is used mainly to fight wars in exploited countries for resources (aka 'we invaded them for oil')?
yeah, p much every American is brainwashed to believe serving in the military is among the most "honorable" and "self-less" things to do. obviously, with a leftist worldview, they would understand the awful things the military does/serves, just insulting them and calling them kid killers is just gonna further drive them away from any outside ideas and discredit anything you are saying
88% of the US public supported military action in Afghanistan in 2001, so most Americans (at that time, anyway) would have been pretty clueless, poor or not. Many still are, and it's not too difficult to see why if you pay attention to US media/culture at all.
lol i dont know anyone my age who defends landlords or thinks cops are perfect, those same people however do think serving is somewhat good due to being told to believe so since birth

literally 90% of people around me believe troops fight for our freedom, so if you are calling those people poor/stupid, then yes

at least they can be ashamed
How dare you. I make fun of people who don't know things all the time, it's half the fun of the internet.
It's very irresponsible to misplace a leg in Afghanistan.
