The mods at non credible defence aren't going to like this.

I wish I could post this here in Australia without getting rocks from every white Australian. You can search my post history to see their reaction to questioning this.

Australia was involved in every one of those crimes. And the celebration for those meaningless murders are everywhere. Questioning this is questioning the sacrifice of Jesus.

Though by order of our north american overlords the US should not be alone in that title.

We really need to separate the trauma that formed the ANZAC legend from the fuckos of any warfare since.

My great-grandfather was an ANZAC - actual, WWI, 23rd Battalion, 16 year old. I knew him extremely well, I was sixteen when he passed. I had a front row seat to what happened to those kids for the rest of their lives.

I don't fucking venerate servicemen.

ACAB includes the troops. Going to foreign countries to shoot brown kids doesn't make you any less of a bastard than doing it at home.

I don't think any cops have been drafted into police service. They also don't go to jail if they quit their job. And I haven't heard of police recruiters using predatory tactics and targeting disadvantaged groups. The military does, or has done, all of those things to recruit troops.

If you chose to go kill and uphold imperialist aggression rather than just go to jail then you are in fact a bastard

If @LegitTayUpdates can do it, so can you

I don’t think any cops have been drafted into police service.

The US (which is what this meme is focusing on) has an all-volunteer force.

They also don’t go to jail if they quit their job. And I haven’t heard of police recruiters using predatory tactics and targeting disadvantaged groups. The military does, or has done, all of those things to recruit troops.

There's plenty of pro-cop propaganda and plenty of people who join the police thinking they're going to do good. I'm sorry but at some point people have to be held accountable for their actions. Any troop that's not a bastard and who's actively trying to leave should understand why I call troops bastards. It was bastards who recruited them, after all, and it's bastards keeping them there.

In any case, people make way too many excuses for these people, and all it does is reinforce the idea that it's ok, which leads to more people falling for that propaganda and those predatory tactics.

The amount of cope in this thread is astonishing. I never thought I'd see an actual person justifying killing hundreds of thousands of civilians with a straight face. But here we are

Hollywood conditioned americans to believe they are heros and world savers. They cant grow up out of that for some reason. They also deeply believe that their lives is worth more than others.

In a poll I saw recently, most countries of the world voted the US as the biggest threat to world peace.

They are killing Yemeni civilians as we speak now.

US veteran is going to be treated the same as Nazis as soon as the US will implode and stop controlling the media (the orange clown is already making this process faster).

People got mad at this one streamer for saying American soldiers deserve PTSD. When you consider that most interventions by the US are not justified or just imperial power plays, and that many soldiers commit war crimes, you realize she has a point.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Every US soldier signed up for killing, they deserve whatever they get.

This might get a lot of down votes but I want to say I don't think it's fair to blame the soldiers in the field for the choices of the decision makers in the office. Those horrible events were unwanted 'byproducts' of the goal of men with evil plans, they were not veterans going off-book. In other words, these veterans did what was asked of them. I'm not saying they didn't do some very bad things, but they aren't the people that should be 'thanked'.

In German penal law there were discussions on how to treat those that act under orders. Many Germans did act under orders and even in accordance to law in WW2 but also in regard to the MauerschΓΌtzen (the soldiers that shot dissidents at the inner German border)- meaning that there were difficulties persecuting them as it was technically legal. There were way too few persecutions, however something called the Radebrechtsche formula was developed. Paraphrasing it says, something that is morally wrong to every morally thinking being cannot be legalized or excused. It is simply illegal to act on orders that are naturally wrong.

Praise your "heroes". It’s enlightening to watch a civilization confuse slaughter with honor.
