What does Zig Forums think about the troops? My dad enlisted right after 9/11 and did one tour of duty in Iraq, he's got some crazy stories about people losing their minds and killing themselves (he said it was particularly common among people who never left the wire, ie never left the base). I want to feel bad for them, I really do, but we don't have conscription laws soooo

of US? I hope they die or get all sent back tbh. They're fighting for their Capitalists Politicians not anything else. They're that retarded yes.
Their dog, puppet-like obedience is why so much cancer is happening globally rn.

Troops are proles and have a lot of revolutionary potential. Blaming soldiers for crimes committed by the government is absurd and alienating people who not only need our help but are capable of providing a lot to the cause

Woops, too late :^)

targets

Psychopaths, all of them.

this is tough because I find both true on some level.
everyone who is not one of the 8 gorillionare family members who own the entire world's wealth is in the same economic class and it is therefore in their best interest to get cracking on some fugging gommunism, sure.
but these are the most conditioned cucks on the planet. these are the cuck commandoes, the very essence of what it means to hold the most wrong, backwards, and self/world-defeating views ever and to uphold blowing your load for empire and getting ripped off/nothing in return, yet still support it.
I met a guy who would not ever shut the fuck up about how he killed a 3 year old in the operation to coup gadafi, and the lie he tells himself to justify it is that he helped stop global terrorism.
idk, this is why I say go after people like this and don't cause physical harm but destroy all their property and steal their toothbrushes. once the carpet is pulled out from under them, they will either go snake or socialist in a meaningful way.

They not in any sense of the word. What the fuck?

It's the soldiers who commit the crimes, on behalf of the government, sure, but that doesn't absolve them. Just because I pay somebody to murder you doesn't mean he didn't do a crime. Where I live, American soldiers are seen as a occupiers and rapists, and everybody wants them gone. They're scum and fuck you for fraternizing with them.

Many of them don't know any better. They're blinded by patriotic fervor or they believe the lies that their "helping spread democracy" Others join because of the opportunities afforded by the military, like a steady income, job training, free college, free healthcare etc. Can you blame a prole acting in their economic interest?

The military has always been counter revolutionary ie Bonapartism and the Frei Korps. Things have to be really fucked up for soldiers to abandon their commanders.

get the fuck out with this moralism. Yes soldiers are scum, but I don't give a flying fuck about it.
History showed that many in the military are willing to join a communist revolution and it's in my (and our) interest to let that happen.
