    If you are American it 100% does. Why would you think the moment you signed up would be the moment they would stop starting wars suddenly? I mean, fuck senator Collins obviously, what an awful ghoul, but she’s correct in this case. Anyone signing up to be in the military has to own what they’re signing up to do and it’s not like there’s no way to know.

      I joined in early 2001. It was a completely different time when I went in vs when I got out 4 years later.

      Less than a year before that I was campaigning for Ralph Nader.

      Life is complicated sometimes. We don’t all have an easy escape from the situations we are born into.
