      Cringing from when I unironically thought they were cool. Imagine engaging in genocide and clearing the way for settlers who see you as little better than the "savages".

      Then again, black veterans have often been on the frontlines of Civil Rights and anti-war movements. Though that's little consolation to the victims.
