The topic was why it took the shitlibs and Hasanabi-watching leftists (lol) a fucking tattoo to denounce Graham Platner, an Iraq veteran who did 4 trips to the war zone and then joined the Blackwater mercenary company to kill even more people.

    I don’t cry when a marine steps on a land mine and gets his leg blown off, but I do hope he survives and learns from his experiences serving that he isn’t the good guy and he’s on the wrong side.

    As a citizen of the Global South, I was impressed on knowing that people from the military like Aaron Bushnell or Mike Prysner exist. However, it will take time as you have mentioned to destroy that American Exceptionalism installed in the military and to plant the seed of empathy and humanization of the oppressed.

    All I know is that there is certainly a great number of abandoned veterans by the US and I am not sure if it helps to agitate them. However, I wish you all the best of success.
