What I hate with this is that is defines that the army itself is good or bad. But in reality it is what it is used for. If its actually used for defence, then it's very honorable. When it's used as a tool to exploit resources to the rich, (aka generally being the aggressor), it's not.

Even simpler than that. People trying to slot sex work/army/any job into “good/bad” columns aren’t worth your attention.

Except for health insurance CEOs, those definitely bad.

The only thing that can stop a bad health insurance CEO is a good health insurance CEO.

But war means more than sacrificing your body or personal reputation. War is giving up your whole personal conscience to fight for what the group believes is the most direct action in response to an event

I mean, even for defence. Your settling, an argument, the rich and powerful people above you are having. You're settling it with your life.

If you think your side is right and you're ready to die fighting then who is anyone else to say that you, the tool, is wrong?

See, that's an easy question to answer: Did you, or whoever, join the military while the US, or your country, was being attacked?

[-] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago

If you wait til you are attacked, you may not be trained or ready enough to actually defend your country from the attack. You can still join in times of peace with intentions of defense for the future, helping with disaster relief, and providing international aid.

Joining to support the aggressor makes you the aggressor.

Lol can't think of a single western country that's had an "honorable" war post 1945. The US army is unequivocally bad

Hey, im not trying to be rude or anything I just wanna quickly say that honor is a fiction typically used by the rich and powerful to manipulate the young and well-meaning into becoming fucked up stormtroopers for capital.
