I really need internet leftists to understand that the US military grooms children, and has admitted to there being a poverty draft.
If you are a USian who never considered joining the military (or at least would consider it if you could), then you're fucking privileged.
...and I need people to incorporate that into their analysis when they talk about these things, in addition to just stop fucking moralizing and expecting perfection out of people doing a brave act. Which is what this was.
Like, I thought Smedley Butler was hardcore, but Aaron Bushnell is nothing less than a hero by any sort of standard. If you don't agree with that, just fuck off.
