    You sound like you don’t realize how many black and brown people there are in the US military. You make it sound like it’s a bunch of white supremacists. Maybe those types exist, but they’re not the norm.

    Also, you seem to be forgetting that the failures of the american education system especially apply in impoverished areas, and that recruiters systematically groom and poach students before they even turn 18, using every psychological trick in the book and filling them full of as many promises as they think they want to hear.

    Chances are, most people who enlist at 17 or 18 don’t know enough about the US’s “foreign wars” to realize how deeply unjust those wars have been.

    Calling them all nazis is fucking ignorant. It’s not like they’re ICE, who signed up specifically to violently round up and deport brown people while enjoying impunity for all their crimes up to and including extrajudicial public executions.

    Good luck winning your class war if you’re going around calling every veteran a fascist though. Most of them are getting fucked over by this regime as hard as anyone else. You wouldn’t last a fucking day in a real war.
