that argument doesn’t just involve troops but Americans especially at large.
I think that’s part of the moralizing and grandstanding you’re running into here. Multiple people jumping onto soapboxes to try and absolve some of the guilt they feel.
We’re not on reddit and I think folks forget that sometimes. Of all the people here, I feel a former troop who has since seen the light probably has some of the clearest understanding for just how fucking evil American imperialism truly is at its core.
You would think so comrade. I’ve been around the world and I just try to use my experiences to help educate others. I try to bring veterans towards communism. I explain it’s because of my military experience that I became a communist. It’s not impossible.
It truly is not impossible. If anything, I’m surprised there aren’t more leftist veterans. Likely why there’s so much chud propaganda pointed at them, to be honest. You’ve seen how the sausage gets made.
You’re fighting a good fight. I think the shock for other leftist folks who deprogram themselves from American Jingoism can be harsh enough that anything which introduces further complexity can be met with strong resistance. Us leftists also love to soapbox, which doesn’t always help things.
I was almost snagged by a recruiter right out of high school. Those fuckers are relentless and they are predatory. I had some medical issues that disqualified me and at the time I was devastated. Now I realize I dodged a bullet.
