    Jesus, dude. Chill a bit. They were kids who were sold a bill of goods. Some of them legitimately believed they were doing something good and noble when they enlisted, and the people in power abused that ideology. It’s not the veteran’s fault. Hold people in power responsible, not the people who trusted them.

    Edit: there’s no sense in arguing with you on this. I just saw your other comments, seems like you’ve got zero empathy. Wish you the best, champ. Hope you find some compassion in your life.

      So the Wehrmacht who killed scores of jews were also “sold a false bill of goods” and just following orders right?

      and nah i dont think i will chill bb gurl, go fuck yourself

      and dont worry i do blame the governments and corporations that systematically keep people poor and then force them into said war machine and keep these forever wars going. I just also dont blindly excuse killers cuz they are poor. Go get a real job like a dishwasher or a sex worker.

        I don’t think this is the forum to have this conversation, and anything I say will just prompt you to personally attack me. I think you should open your mind to other points of view and think critically.

        Have a good day, and be well.

          lmao im not the one killing kids in foreign countries for oil. assholes who sign up for the military should think “critically” and “open up their minds.”

          good riddance and fuck off.

        There’s a difference of being complicit and taking place in killing women/children and men in the thousands than being in the US military. Sit the fuck down and treat people how you expect to be treated.
