    All too familiar with most of the atrocities although it’s hard to keep up. How am I delusional though? Do you live in the USA? Do you know how hard full family coverage with no deductable is to get? Do u know what it costs to keep a child with birth defects alive? Some people would pay any price. This whole comment thread started about how some people don’t really have a choice but to join the military.

      america sucks, america is hell and i heavily sympathise with people who don’t reap the benefits of a proper healtcare system.

      as soon as you join the army you are an enemy and i hope for your demise as you become part of the imperialism machine.

      you are disgusting for promoting killing and maiming people for healthcare benefits or a camaro.

      death to america

      You’re evidently okay with the atrocities being committed. You excuse the inflicting of suffering and devastation on non Americans for a selfish benefitting of the soldiers committing and abetting them directly, and moreover to the benefit of scumbag elites who are incentivized to continue perpetrating acts of aggression, crimes, and atrocities, placing profits over people as always.

      Smedley Butler’s conclusions apply to every American soldier.

        Rich of you to apply the conclusion of a decorated 34 year marine corps general… Who yes said soldiers are pawns for imperialism. It’s a rough life sacrificing your values to provide for your family, but if you bring people into this world you better take care of them.

          if you bring people into this world you better take care of them.

          Do you also apply this to people who bring families into the world and then must defend those families by killing US soldiers who have no business being there and are trying to kill them?

          Take care of them by…? Taking out other families in other countries?
