That is not about guilt. Soldiers are ordered to kill people. Soldiers have health needs to. So, either we assume we all have human rights, that includes those soldiers or we don't.

You can't have it both.

    Agreed. I have friends and family who joined. I don't think a single one did it because rah rah lets go. Each one was financially unstable or were floundering in life, and the military sits there encouraging you to join when you're in that stage. Societally there is something about taking advantage of people in that state. I'll never blame the individuals who decide to join.

    To add on to that, soldiers are also people who have been exploited. They are manipulated so join in the hopes of an education and better their lives and serve their country. Most of them get fucked over and kill themselves. The state is lying to them and they are victims.
