What I hate with this is that is defines that the army itself is good or bad. But in reality it is what it is used for. If its actually used for defence, then it's very honorable. When it's used as a tool to exploit resources to the rich, (aka generally being the aggressor), it's not.

joining the army in the Imperial core will always be bad and make the troop/vet complicit in the countless deaths and destruction

Even simpler than that. People trying to slot sex work/army/any job into “good/bad” columns aren’t worth your attention.

Except for health insurance CEOs, those definitely bad.

The only thing that can stop a bad health insurance CEO is a good health insurance CEO.

Cops and troops are bad. You might even say All of them AB

Hey, im not trying to be rude or anything I just wanna quickly say that honor is a fiction typically used by the rich and powerful to manipulate the young and well-meaning into becoming fucked up stormtroopers for capital.

[-] ydieb@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Well obviously.

Yeah peaceful militaries like Korea's or China's or Cuba's are ok. Anyone joining the US military though if just in it for the war crimes.

I feel your answer lacks any sort of nuance. People join the military for financial reasons as well. Broke as fuck and need somewhere to stay, get food and possibly get an education or career? Military. Almost doesn't matter your background, you can probably get in and stay as much as you like. The US system makes the military a good back up option for the poor. I don't like how the US uses our military, but i also understand that those in there aren't necessarily happy with their options either. If there existed a alternative system like the military (work, pay, food, housing, education, career), people would probably join that over risking dying or having to kill people.

Lol can't think of a single western country that's had an "honorable" war post 1945. The US army is unequivocally bad

I mean, even for defence. Your settling, an argument, the rich and powerful people above you are having. You're settling it with your life.
