    Also people forget the power of propaganda. Many soldiers talk about how they were duped about fighting terrorists, only to find innocent civilians.

      Right? Wonder how long it’ll take though for someone to come in and non sequitur this into “oh so since they’re propagandized we should just forget all the atrocities American soldiers committed?”

      did they disobey orders or shot those civilians? that’s the difference, if they disobey those orders then get discharged that’s fine. they duped them. but if they pull the trigger fuck em, as criminal as the state that sent them. no Nuremberg defense bullshit
