BTW, it’s not only the murder of civilians that makes the US military so evil. It’s also the sheer scope of brutality, in terms of size and time that the US has perpetrated with not only direct military action, but also proxy military actions, and economic and civil violence that is facilitated by the threat of military action.

Other people being shits has no bearing on how big a shit you are.
