    They’ve never had any problems with any of the other crimes against humanity they were ordered to do so why start now? They literally think they should be hailed as gods in the US and anyone who doesn’t is a traitor, you think they’d have any qualms about killing protestors when they’ve already been told that they’re anti-US terrorist scum?

    It’s literally the exact same tactics the IDF uses. Wonder who Israel learned it from.

      Have you talked to anyone in the armed forces? Many of them are there because they grew up poor and in the U.S. joining the military can be a good way to get out of poverty.

      Only a tiny fraction actually do any combat and even fewer commit war crimes. The main ones committing “war crimes” is Congress who does things like give weapons to Israel.

        The majority of gang members also grew up poor and joined a gang to get out of poverty. Does that make it justified?

          Yankistanis always have talking points that deflect their own wrongdoings but does not apply to others in similar scenario.

          Justified is different than calling anyone who tried joining at 18 scum and immediately dismissing them, which is also true for someone who joined a gang at 18
