Bro you were told you were killing for your convictions.
Ask the Army for something and see what they say. They used you cause you were a fool. Sorry, but you know it. You didnt serve to serve, you served to get what you could for free.
I know its harsh but unless you were in the medical field you were just a boy with toys.

I learned a lot and what you say is pretty true for the most part. The military is used as a means of oppressing the enemies of the state. And our state is more corporate $$ interested than any other state of the world.
Does that make soldiers evil/bad... Some yes. Some are just doing what they can/believe to be the right thing. Military tradition is not necessarily evil.
But you said most aren't willing to kill for their convictions. And your absolutely right.
Most are willing to kill for other peoples convictions, not even their own. Because their not even aware of their own convictions. Most just do what their told, what they are told to believe. Most just fall into line and march in step. And this goes for civilians to.
Most aren't even aware of what killing happens where. Just what they were told on the Fox/CNN/Murdochtubes.
I'm not saying I was a good guy for serving in the military. But I am saying I am a better person for it with a much deeper understanding of the use of force and the order of the world.
