I first saw this today after listening to the podcast. I am still somewhat suffering just from the utter horror of this video, so please bear in mind this is not something to watch casually. I still need to process how to respond, other than holy fuck, the US military is pure evil

    I think its important for people who have the strength to witness it to watch it, and realize that there are people in the seats of these helicopters and to hear them rabidly foaming at the mouth to kill anything that moves, wielding absurd weapons made for some world-ending mass war scenario but is instead sent out to murder small groups of people cautiously trying to navigate a city under siege. America is the original fascist country, from all the way back to its days as a colony. This video has the power to turn a supporter of the military into an opponent, or at the very least less supportive.

      Supporters of the military should watch the video and come away mentally scarred. My advice was meant for people already correctly critical of US imperialism.

        Even those already critical need to be aware of the scale and level of organization of brutality we are up against, the sheer love of killing that the US military has become so efficient at indoctrinating and recruiting with.
