Jesus, dude. Chill a bit. They were kids who were sold a bill of goods. Some of them legitimately believed they were doing something good and noble when they enlisted, and the people in power abused that ideology. It's not the veteran's fault. Hold people in power responsible, not the people who trusted them.
Edit: there's no sense in arguing with you on this. I just saw your other comments, seems like you've got zero empathy. Wish you the best, champ. Hope you find some compassion in your life.
So the Wehrmacht who killed scores of jews were also “sold a false bill of goods” and just following orders right?
and nah i dont think i will chill bb gurl, go fuck yourself
and dont worry i do blame the governments and corporations that systematically keep people poor and then force them into said war machine and keep these forever wars going. I just also dont blindly excuse killers cuz they are poor. Go get a real job like a dishwasher or a sex worker.
There's a difference of being complicit and taking place in killing women/children and men in the thousands than being in the US military. Sit the fuck down and treat people how you expect to be treated.
U sit the fuck down cunt. How do you think a fucking machine works? it doesnt matter if you are personally puttin a bullet in the kids head personally its called being complicit you dumb whore
