Absolutely agree.

I happen to be German, by the way. My grandfather was forced into the Wehrmacht, he tried fleeing the battlefield, he got executed.

Anyone who works for the military enables politicians to wage war. And no soldier will ever be able to 100% prove their actions never led to anyone getting hurt.

Soldiers know and accept that and that's why I despise them.

    Your grandfather was very brave ❤️ It’s sad that ordinary people are sometimes forced to choose between bravery and monstrosity. But there it is.

    And frankly, us military members are not forced. They can just…have a normal life instead.

    Yeah. Why not just lead a normal life.

    I wish society would frown upon people choosing to become soldiers like they do upon prostitutes. But instead, all this glorification and militarism makes them think being a soldier is a commendable thing.

    In my view, prostitutes should get the medals. They literally make love, not war.
