I'm also very late here but I'll say I liked frauddogg and thought null was a good addition to the site, and I agree with what you said but I will just point out that some of those who served in Vietnam were drafted. I know there were ways around serving, but they weren't all voluntarily serving, which added to the commitment to fighting US imperialism. I don't know how old frauddogg was but I'm going to assume null wasn't a drafted Vietnam vet.

I'll admit I'm biased but I think every voluntary US soldier is a piece of shit, I don't know the details of everyone's "militarily groomed" upbringing but I was hounded by recruiters and told them to fuck off at every turn. You joined because college was expensive? Fuck you, default on your loans like a normal person. As a working class person whose country was also invaded by the US, I don't have very much sympathy at all for any person joining or for any excuse they use to cope with killing innocent people for social benefits.

What happened was pretty light considering frauddogg was going around throwing haymakers at everyone for being a crackkker all the while having served in the imperial fascist military and done God knows what, which could be far worse than some online cracker microaggressions, even though they had discussed serving openly before. I didn't know about it and I'm going to assume most didn't either so it seems a little disingenuous.
