        Well, actually it was at first about defending US soldiers in Vietnam due to the draft existing. Sadly for 7df the majority of US soldiers were volunteers not draftees, and draftees could always make a stand by running away or going to jail etc. This eventually spiraled into how the camp guards couldn't be held accountable either, (I think, I mostly only caught the first part about Vietnam which was bad, but I am fairly sure the camps were brought up in the latter part before 7DF was promptly banned for defending imperialists/war criminals. It was a while ago, over a year now, last time I spoke to him on reddit on GCJ and he used "gay" against me in a derogatory manner )

          There are a few examples of US servicemen that did good shit, like Hugh Thompson. He was treated like a pariah, spiraled into alcoholism and ptsd. His wife left him. Saving those civilian lives ruined his life. Truly a sad story all around. Meanwhile that bastard Calley was treated like a hero. Cursed country.
