I made my criticism clear. Having no answer to that criticism, you assumed a motivation that didn’t exist and attacked that.
You’re here crying that someone criticized ameriKKKan soldiers for being monsters and your justification is that other soldiers do it too.
“And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?” Your fascist empire is destroying the world, yankee. Don’t go crying when people take offense to that.
I’m not crying and have no problem with criticisms of US troops or US military actions. This particular criticism is dumb as fuck though.
Except when people make them, then you get angry and say things like…
This particular criticism is mocking the common excuse americans will give for why they have no choice but to sign up to murder innocent people: “I just wanted to pay for college”. The point is that it doesn’t make a difference to the victims. It’s a good point.
Post the same cartoon with a Russian soldier and a Ukrainian kid, or a Chinese soldier and a Tibetin kid and I’d have the same criticism.
Yeah the college thing is unique to America, but you could throw any inducement in there. (like employment assistance for China and discounted burial for Russia)
You can’t think of any reason someone would criticize specifically American soldiers today?
No, I can think of great reasons to criticize specifically American soldiers today. What does that have to do with my comment? This particular criticism is dumb. Not all criticisms are dumb. (or undeserved)
Your entire point is that the criticism is “dumb” because it could be applied to other soldiers. Yet you are well aware of why specifically American soldiers are being criticized.
Yes. Those do not conflict.
