I am so fucking tired of dipshit soldiers or veterans claiming they risked their lives for my freedom. No the FUCK you did not, you dipshit! And you are NOT a good person. If you're okay with signing up to murder foreign people, you're not a good person. I don't care how much you got pressured, how desperate you were, or anything like that. You knew when you signed on you would have to murder people, and you were okay with that, so you're automatically a bad person for joining the military.
Back in WW2 or earlier, things would have been different. But there hasn't been a just war or a purely defensive war that the US was involved in since WW2. All the wars since then have been unconstitutional, and have been either to fight the imaginary enemy of "communism" or to profit greedy parasitic wealthy evil people. So the idea that you, as a soldier, are "risking your life for your country" or for my freedom, is a twenty-mile high pile of horse crap. You risked your life and became a murderer for someone else's war profiteering. Accept the fact that you're a bad person and a dupe, and then get angry at the wealthy a-holes that duped you into that BS with their pretty lies.
It's especially laughable to claim you fought for my freedom when even under a Democratic administration, the US is still a fascist oligarchy masquerading as a democracy.
