Trying to convince an old friend not to join up to do IT for the army. This is what liberalism/being “apolitical” gets you - someone that is told about SYSTEMIC war crimes and responds “there’s corruption in any industry” (tacit admission of the military industrial complex btw).
“Obviously I don’t condone or support that”.... I just wanna become part of it?
The worst part about being a leftist is seeing people you’ve always liked and respected become part of the system you loathe - or realising they’ve always been part of it, in some cases.
If you're vocal about it while in the military you'll get fragged. Tell him he's going to get himself killed by being so god damn naive.
