      Who says anything about offense? And I'm not talking about this meme, or any one meme in particular, I'm talking about the naive "fuck every troop, especially whatever bastard troop you're related to" vibe, as if pre-emptively eliminating the possibility of getting a bunch of highly trained combatants on our side will do anything but swell the ranks of the fascists. Ignoring them won't make them go away, eventually you have to decide if you want them doing horrible things for you, or to you.

      Besides, almost every SRA chapter has a couple former troops, I'm not gonna toss them all out and throw away the millions of dollars of training that they share with us for free just because some memes online said so.

      To reiterate my point, "fuck all troops"=morally correct, but tactically a huge fuckup.

          While I appreciate the effort at playing armchair psychologist, your shit is way off base, mate. Once again, you're making a moral argument for a practical decision. Being a troop is morally indefensible? Yup. Being a troop also means you get organizing knowledge, training, information and connections. If you'd rather all that go to the chuds, be my guest. Also tbh I didn't read much of your novel up there at all
