Seeing some of these really disgusting videos by US military personnel, I got to wondering if perhaps I ought to make my own anti-US military skits.

Ones mocking them as war criminals, others pointing out the hypocrisy of supporting US military during invasions vs opposing Russian military, also ones making jokes about taking them out (for dinner, totally).

    What are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to make them feel bad? They probably won't pay attention. Are you trying to educate them? Mockery isn't a good way to do that. Are you trying to recruit them? The ones who are prone to radicalization and recruitment are probably already critical of the military and may be aware of their role as assassins for capital, so again mockery isn't really productive.

    If you're just doing it for shits and giggles then go for it, but if you're actually trying to accomplish any political goals mockery doesn't seem like it would achieve much of use.

    Edit: If you were trying to educate other people about the role of the US military then yeah, mocking the US military makes sense. Make them look like buffoons and it undermines their air of mystery and invincibility.

      Anything that helps to remind people that when you put on the uniform you now get to be responsible for all the war crimes.
