The US military is primarily comprised of middle class people who chose to participate in the subjugation of people infinitely poorer than them, in order to preserve their cut of the imperial spoils. Poor people who happen to join are also just vying to be allowed to enter the imperialist-peripheral class.
The machine and its components are part of the same process. To pretend otherwise is idealism, elevating some imagined internal essence of each indivual above the function they serve in material processes.
Even in your fantasy of an "innocent" génicodaire who only participates for economic privileges rather than because they personally believe in the fascist project, they're still selling out and killing their fellow workers for selfish benefit. The term for that is class traitor and they deserve no sympathy.
It's a fucking wild fantasy too. "Hey I was only a concentration camp guard because it financially benefited me, I'm not a fascist the machine I work at is fascist". Liberal nonsense
You've obviously never been poor. Choice is a luxury.
I've literally been homeless dumbass
Fuck off with your fascist apologia
