If you're not american then you have no idea how aggressively recruiters pursue impressionable and vulnerable youths. I had one I had never spoken to before literally try to get me to let him come to my house (he had my address though i did not give it to him), pick me up, and take a aptitude test simply by not immediately rejecting him. They called me constantly during my senior year of high school, at least once a week, frequently more. They lied to me blatantly and casually. Promised me everything and told me I'd never see combat. This was during a time when the military was actively preventing people from leaving when their contracts expired.
My parents and grandparents even tried hard to push me into the armed forces when I didn't go to college. When i told them i didn't want to kill people for money they countered "you probably won't be on the front lines, you're too smart for that!". All this on top of an education system which glorifies American imperialism and exceptionalism.
Even knowing then that the war in Iraq was just a smokescreen to steal oil I was still a little tempted because my prospects after high school were bad enough and my family was in a constant cycle of drug abuse and poverty.
I know it's really bad out there for you Americans, and now I'm going to be very fucking rude but I'm not going to give a shit about all that if/when they try to destabilise my country for fucks sake
If they fuck with your country, by all means, fucking fight back. All I'm suggesting is to save your hate for the architects of this system and the chuds who join to rack up brown-people bodycounts. Don't dismiss an entire class of people who, through their experiences, may have become just as disillusioned with the American government as any leftist.
Yeah I hate the architects of the system way more than some troop. I'm sorry for coming across as rude but I'm actually very surprised at the leeway troops are given here.
You have every right to be rude, no need to apologize. My country is a monstrous hellhole bent on exporting all its worst qualities by force, and I'm here asking you to have sympathy for the devil.
Fuck the troops, absolutely, but also realize that many are ripe for conversion to our cause. We need all the help we can get.
Or we're not American and sick and tired of American aggression in our countries
