I live in America and I hope when my country wages war against yours, “we” lose. I really respect and appreciate your perspective of being entirely against the American military because I am too. I remember how the troops and their supporters treated me and my family because we looked like the people they’d been told were the enemy, and I don’t even want to stop hating them for that. Nor can I want to stop hating them for what they did to Iraq and Afghanistan. The dead don’t get another shot at life. The dead don’t get to be happy. The traumatized will carry their wounds the rest of their lives. So why should their killers?

It is frankly refreshing and validating to see someone else harboring that fiery stance because it’s so painfully rare here and I feel alone with it.

When I see local comrades – usually white – make carveouts for American soldiers, I feel like I trust them less and it’s a struggle because I want to not have that trust take a hit. But, ask them if they’d apply that standard to Nazi soldiers, and they will not or cannot really engage.

I don’t know how they can really care about the victims of fascism and excuse fascism’s footsoldiers.

I’m not American and I don’t live in America. The leftist revolution where I live will involve going to war with America and Americans. I’m not against all military members, I am against American military members.

Right, but blind nationalist based hate for someone who also disagrees and fights against empiricists after a realization of class consciousness makes no sense. Class solidarity transcends nationalist sentiment.

I don’t care if they “change”, I don’t believe that any Americans living in the imperial core will ever cast away their labor aristocracy to become leftists. Fuck them forever.

Eh, I guess we just ideologically disagree with each other. My family had to immigrate after America ravaged and occupied their land, and I don’t equate all American citizens with the crimes of the nation. But I guess everyone deals with their pain differently.
