Tell me where I have mentioned 80 year old men, and tell me where I have mentioned physically hurting veterans as a moral service?
To my knowledge I have only ever argued that veterans should not be accepted as leftists just because after they got back and got all the nice benefits like an education or whatever, they decided to utter the correct phrases and jargon and therefore got baptised into good leftists now. Instead I think the bare minimum is that they should materially support the victims of American wars, who do not get any benefits, who get their schools blown up actually.
Some international solidarity is the bare minimum for a leftist veteran, and not just turning around and being critical of the US military, or doing mutual aid back in AmeriKKKa.
I would say that I take issue with the "improve the world" part of that, cause I dont think these veterans would really want to improve the world so much as improve the immediate circumstances in the US.
But Im not sure if arguing further is going to be very productive, seems like its a lot of semantics now and its getting really late.
