Theoretically, it would be pretty important to have experienced military officers.
But we also need to be sure that they're actually repentant and not just an outed cryptofash like Plat seems to be.
This is very far into the future of any movement in the global north though. As it stands, former troops would not be doing anything military. And it would take a huge amount of vanguard control of the military to prevent getting coup'd in the event of such an opportunity presenting itself.
when we have seamen burning the officers quarters on their ship so they can't be deployed to venezeula we can have a discussion about those saboteurs being cool, but i wouldn't even put chelsea in charge of anything.
Officers within the US military are all reactionaries. They come from petty bourgeois backgrounds and either believe in the mission or are in it to jumpstart their professional career after their service.
I agree. See the second sentence.
