They literally brainwash you to want to kill. This is lightweight compared to the chants and mental conditioning they go thru

That clip should speak volumes, and I'll get to it.....
.... but I'd like to start with a rant on John Boyega
there was a talk show a while back about what the young US soldiers did to kids and families in Iraq. It wasn't just simple collateral(sp?) damage or humanitarian efforts. They tortured and killed families and kids for fun and openly talked about it as if it was no big deal like they were trimming hedges or something. Was weird/strange. They said these soldires(they were all like 18-25 very young looking) needed therapy. They just let them back into society like nothing happened.

That mentality was very prevalent amongst the cacs and few hispanics I served with back in the day.
Wonder if he did this on purpose...
He knows a dishonorable discharge will keep him off the battlefield.

You can obtain benefits elsewhere, where you are not actively lending material support to an imperialistic war machine.

But just trying to show how it mostly is in the military. I came across these types all the time. When I served, but trust me if I was more sophisticated in my thinking after high school maybe I'd have made a different choice. I really believed the U.S. was on some good guy shyt, just saving the world little by little, obviously now I know better. We're the bad guys to most, we're invaders, we are the infidels they speak of. But I served for 8 yrs with 6 1/2 of those being peacetime yrs 96-04. And would've did a whole 20 had I not been in a "rotating combat unit" in 01-03. But my military service gave me "connections" for life. So for that alone I could never just " totally shyt on our armed forces like that. But yeah my experiences in Iraq made me say "fukk that shyt' .. Now that,...that was some straight bullshyt
