I’ll forgive someone who entered at 18 and then left as soon as they possibly could after seeing what is was like and have consistently avowed the military since. I’ve known a couple people like that. I’ll not forgive people who in any way make that service a part of their identity, or who try and bring nuance to the situation. I’ve known many more people like this. This guy seems to be in the second camp.
The fact is 18 year-olds are dumb, fresh from a propaganda mill, and poor. The military preys on this, and I don’t believe anyone is immune to manipulation.
