    At least a lot of soldiers in the Wehrmacht were conscripted under threat of immediate and brutal death. US veterans are arguably worse because basically all of them VOLUNTEERED to go kill millions of innocents, the best excuse they have for doing genocide is they want to go to college. i-love-killing-people

    Even US draft dodgers e.g. during Vietnam had roughly 1-2% chance of being penalised at all. And that penalty was typically months in jail.

    Yet if you ask a USAian to shoot the white kid next door for free college, I suspect that would be looked down upon (though as I type it, I’m starting to fear that would be disturbingly popularly received).
