    Oh my God, did they enlist in the military so they can go to college? Come here, my little babies, let me give you a hug.

    maybe im blind but his hair is blonde and his eye are blue so why is he talking about how people of color navigate the system?

      Race is an entirely made up concept, and while I assume this guy is American “White”, you can easily find someone in every Latin American country with blonde hair, blue eyes, “white” skin, and the last name Ramirez.

      The hair looks bleached anyway.

    It would be one thing if they were conscripted soldiers… it would be one thing if these soldiers were actually poor… It would be one thing if they actively reflected and denounced their actions.

      Why do they call it “service” anyways? Who are they serving? Rich white oil company executives? Why not say “working for” or “being a thug for”?

      They get paid to kill brown people. They get very expensive treats from the government for doing this. It’s not service.

    It would be one thing if they were actually poor, they’re from Labor Aristocratic to Petite Bourgeoisie backgrounds full of opportunities elsewhere. It’s more of a rule rather than the exception that these recruits have a support net already back home (Your civilian life is entirely interrupted and stalled in Capitalist society). They’re also not conscripted, which explains the saturation of non-poors already, but also the inclination to be literally the most reactionary forces. It would be nice if veterans, regardless, denounced their actions and the war- but a lot of them don’t so… Maybe if the conditions changed? Probably not because again, these enlisting soldiers come from backgrounds of entirely different interests.
