I work in medicine, and one of the hospitals in our system is the VA. I have literally no interest in serving veterans; people who fight in wars for America pretty much stand and act against everything I believe in. It's not necessarily that I think these people don't deserve great healthcare, it's that I don't want to be the one giving it to them. I would much rather spend my time serving people from my community who didn't spend large parts of their lives wrecking other communities.

Sure, some of my patients anywhere are going to be complete assholes. Sure, there are a lot of veterans who weren't involved in combat (but they did directly aid those in combat at least, right?). Idk, is there a perspective I'm not seeing here? Is it wrong for me to be morally opposed to working for the VA?

    I mean federal jobs are Nazi jobs too. It's all part of the same system. If the guys in the VA or the Government Accountability Office or the Post Office didn't come in to work then the boom boom explode children guys wouldn't be able to do their job. It's all the same shit. You can't pick and choose and say "I just did paperwork, my hands are clean."

        I logged on this morning and read the postal workers are Nazis and then the below comments and my mind was just blown.
