Okay? That's what you signed up for. You signed up to be a pawn for the oligarchs to kill innocent people for oil. Suffer more. You deserve it.

Yeah. Front line soldiers are literally the exact equivalent to chess pawns. That’s what thise board pieces are there to represent, you. You are expendable. You signed up to be expended. That’s how this works.

NGL, you had me nodding —until the "Suffer more. You deserve it." bit, that is.

The system is designed to form impoverished, under-educated, malnourished, and compliant "citizens". This is all according to that same plan. The individual does not "deserve" this. IIRC, the few vets who survive often join anti-war (et al) actions/efforts/groups, like Vets For Peace and others.

Let's not scapegoat our fellow poors that happened to get skullfucked in a slightly different way than us. ☝🏼

Don't lump the dissenters in with the psychopaths. That's what the military/"pro" sports/etc. are for, after all.

As a side-note, this is a very much Zionist site.
