This idea that the military “fights for our freedom” needs to die. It’s complete horseshit. The last conflict the US military was involved in that could remotely be considered as a defense of Americans (the populace, not the oligarchs) was WW2. Everything since has been neocolonialism and gangster activity. Even prior to WW2, their primary function over their life has been genocide and colonialism. It was the US military that brought the world concentration camps. If there is any hope for Americans, we need to kill the civic religion.
WWII is not a good example even. The oligarchy helped fund the Nazi and then made sure the Jews had no where to go. Then we went in and helped slaughter countless civilians for a problem we created. That clearly makes us the good guys riiiight?
