Not to defend anything Isreal is doing but where was this energy from these troops at any point during the last 30 years when it was us doing this to random Muslims across the globe and not Isreal?
After the movements in Vietnam of people refusing the draft, refusing to carry a rifle, slinging their rifle on their back and surrendering to the first NV soldier they met, sabotaging military equipment, doing mass troop anti-war protests, and last but certainly not least fragging officers, the military propaganda complex went into overdrive pushing out anyone with a nuanced opinion on war and turning dumb teenagers into deus vult crusaders for the American Empire.
Nowadays I think a lot of those tricks have been over used and are thus losing their effectiveness. Back around 9/11 the troops were properly bloodthirsty, but now half the military now are just alienated nerds who hate their job (this does not exonerate them, it merely attempts to explain why we see what we see).

Listen 1995 was 10 years ago idk what youre talking about.
They got swept under the rug and their existence ignored generally, plus multimedia infrastructure wasn't as advanced as it is now.
