"I don't have the money so I'm going to help murder innocent schoolchildren in a country we want to loot" is a shitty excuse.
Some guy robbing a house and shooting the inhabitants is exactly the same, only not legalized by the fascist regime.
What country are you in that is so perfect, and what have you done to keep it that way?
Now you want to try a little whataboutism?
What fucked up country has been 'at war' (plundering and mass-murdering) for all its existence and has their vile inhabitants cry over the murderers not the victims
Or worse, complain about what it does to their gas prices.
They give these cunts a discount and thank them for their service.
You're all very sick people.
You should be hiding under a rock in shame if you had some decency or humanity.
But no, blatantly trying to rationalize and whitewash this filth.
England?
But my point is not whataboutism, its about you judging the decisions of others without providing viable alternative options. Which some people consider a dick move.
It's your shithole and your impotent, apathetic people that allowed this situation to be created and are responsable.
You provide viable alternative options.
As if not anything is better than going to mass murder poor innocent people.
Is there literally anything worse?
And then have the nerve and arrogance to call people criticizing the murderers and their whitewashers dicks.
You're fucking barbarians and selfish scum, content with the worst war crimes, genocide and terror as long as it benefits you.
It's more that their options are severely limited, and the military offers a paying job that could lead to a career, or at least pay for college, which could lead to a career. Getting the Hell out of bad living situation, either a terrible home town, or a rough family situation, is another good reason. Foster kids age out of the system at 18, and often go homeless. The military looks like a positive viable option from that perspective.
There are a LOT of reasons that people join the military, and VERY few join the military to kill.
Repeating the same mental gymnastics, as if these scumbags don't know what that terrorist army does constantly.
Those frequently heard apologetics are disgusting. They are vulgar hired murderers in a uniform.
I'm sure lots of Mongols were perfectly decent people who weren't afforded the right opportunities, too.
I'm a bit confused, so we hate Mongols now? I mean, I'm down I guess. It's just hard to keep up.
If you would do me the kindness of treating my point in the context it was made, that would be very welcome. The point, though perhaps mystifyingly put, was that the motivations and economic forces acting upon the invader are of little import to the objects of their predation.
