i mentioned nazis in their 80s as in people who were part of the nazi party and were later found and brought to trial during more modern times. This is also why I brought up the emmett till accuser, as she was similarly old and yet still had not faced justice. I'm saying that if you believe those people are still a harm to society, then you must also be able to see why people who were part of the US military system should fall under similar scrutiny. If that is not what you were saying, if there was a miss-step in communication then I'm sorry.

i feel like my point is being lost in the weeds of semantics and not seen for what it is, which is that I think it’s entirely fair for people to have misgivings about people who were part of the imperial complex, regardless of their current sympathies, that’s all

I spent a fair bit of time last night suggesting that maybe a veteran being "repentant" requires supporting their victims in some real way.

Really not sure why you keep going to accusing people of wanting veterans to physically suffer when in most cases its about simply not accepting war crime participants into movements and organizations, and being verbally mean to them about it.
