TBH most of the ex-soldiers I've met are really cool nice people and they themselves are often dissatisfied and angry at what the leadership is doing. If we just dismiss every member of the American military whole-cloth, we're dismissing thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of potential comrades. A huge swath of the American military/veterans is 18-25-year-olds disillusioned, depressed, and alienated by capitalism and imperialism - AKA potential comrades.
(P.S. The O.G. Kurt Vonnegut was a veteran of WWII who later became an anti-war activist. Also, people are more likely listen to veterans about military stuff. Anti-war veterans are the best people to "sell" the anti-war message, IMO.)

Sounds about white.
So you falsely assume the person you disagree with is white, to try to win an argument. Brilliant.
I thought this website was for GOOD FAITH discussion???
