There is no number of foreigners that is unacceptable to sacrifice for a middle class livelihood. Anti-cop because they can imagine a scenario where a cop inconveniences them. These principles don’t apply to the Waffen SS because they can’t imagine a soldier personally inconveniencing them and, of course, foreigners aren’t really humans.
The funny thing is, I don’t even think that joining the military is morally irredeemable. I just hate this “Look, I’m just as much of a victim as the children I killed” attitude. Mike Prysner is an ex member of the Waffen SS and he’s dedicated his life to defeating American Imperialism.
There is very little that is irredeemable. Maybe it’s my Christian upbringing showing but if you repent whatever you did and commit yourself to the revolution, you should be forgiven. I’m not taking about being opportunistic here like Hans Landa, I’m taking about a genuine change of heart. If you’re reading this and you’re in the military or the FBI or the police forces, it’s never too late to do the right thing. Being a bastard is a role people choose to play, it is not the essence of their being.
Even the last emperor of China had a good life after the revolution. Not everything needs to end in blood and death.
The only good American vets are the ones who acknowledge their sins and seek redemption through actions and not defend their time in the military and don’t get pissy when POC/foreigners are understandably wary of them as if they’re entitled to automatic forgiveness.
