    People often join the military in the US because they have zero options to get out of poverty otherwise.

    IDF soldiers are conscripts and we (or at least I) hate them all the same so shrugs. Their economic opportunity doesn’t trump others’ lives.

      This is actually the best point here. Russian and Israeli conscripts literally have no choice but to go to war or have the rest of their lives destroyed by refusing to serve. American military personnel all volunteer every single one of them volunteer. Therefore when Americans commit atrocities just be aware that all of these people volunteered to commit these atrocities like a bunch of fucking evil monsters!
