Sorry, I can not agree given how the USA systematically engages in unjust wars. The USA has bombed almost 500 schools in Iran this year. Even if you're just the cook at a US air base, you're complicit. The whole machinery depends on people signing up and dedicating lots of effort into making it work. You can't claim ignorance in this day and age, and you can't say you're just following orders when you're there voluntarily.
