The topic was why it took the shitlibs and Hasanabi-watching leftists (lol) a fucking tattoo to denounce Graham Platner, an Iraq veteran who did 4 trips to the war zone and then joined the Blackwater mercenary company to kill even more people.

    Lots of people join institutions thinking they can change them, only to find themselves changed.

    clown And this is why you should seriously consider voting for nominally “leftist” veterans who want to join the DNC and get elected so they can change the party.

    Jokes aside, nobody joins the US military thinking they’re going to change the institution, that is simply not a thing.

      Ya this is weird. People job the military because they’re poor, have no other options, or don’t know what else to do with their life. One friend joined to get away from her abusive parents as fast as possible, it was basically her only choice with no money. She came out of it with a paid education, benefits, etc. But nobody sent in to “change of from the inside”.
