Only a severely touched individual with chronic “im14” brain would unironically treat all veterans as a monolith and make a universal comparison to serial killers.
I was an 0317 in the Marines which tells you how long ago that was. I regret what I did every day of my life. I council, volunteer, teach, organize, contribute and instruct for many mutual aid groups that serve the unhoused and all marginilized people who want help.
There is nothing I can ever do to forgive myself so my life is guided by helping others. There is absolutely no way I could’ve done any of that in the care of the state. Puttng combat vets behind bars often makes everything so much worse.
Fuck Trump, Fuck this war in Iran. Fuck Israel. Most of all. Fuck not collaborating with your fellow comrades to work to end this fascist administration. Fuck purity tests.
I don’t know how your military works, but in the US military, most people aren’t trained to kill. The majority are trained to sling wrenches, manage accounts, monitor software programs, prepare meals, and conduct necessary supply and maintenance duties.
Despite the fact that they aren’t out killing people, many still experience profound trauma that permanently alters the course of their lives. The suicide rate for veterans is staggering; additionally, tens of thousands of vets slow-suicide, which often results in periods of alienation and homelessness. This “resolution” is about the vets who don’t have the decency to crawl into a dark corner and die quickly.
Plus. Most Americans are basically told. “No education for you. No health insurance for you. No decent paying job for you. Unless you join the military.”
I swear they make the country shitty just to dangle a carrot in front of people to get them to enlist.
Frankly, anyone trained to kill by the state should be on parole for the rest of their lives and strict controls on their conduct.
This is an unhinged take
So serial killers are acceptable as long as they wear a costume to do it with extraordinarily flamboyant equipment?
