i don't give a fuck about the troops. fuck the troops. am i supposed to feel better if the particular troop you know was in a non-combat unit, or fixed the tanks? everything a military person does has the singular goal of spreading us hegemony via expression of violence, regardless of whether they're the psychopath pulling the trigger. you hardly need any triggermen today anyway. we have goddamn drones and computer-guided missiles. i say, fuck'em all. if a troop wants to be accepted into anti-imperialist struggle despite having been a troop, they've got to show that they understand what they helped accomplish to other people, something happening to their friends be damned.
