  Is surviving a reason for doing something bad?

  I’d say yes and anybody that disagrees has probably never been in that situation.

  There is a reason the military recruits the poor.

    Surviving is when you go work for or McDonalds not kill brown children. Such a pathetic excuse for mass murer.

        You are saying that it is okay to torture and murder foreigners for money (and college)

      Spoken like someone who’s never truly known desperation or genuine hunger. ie. One of the bourgeoisie who’d be first against the wall.

        What are you talking about the average US militant isn’t poor at all and even the poor ones could easily work somewhere else. You’re just doing mental gymnastics to excuse the equivalent of joining the modern Nazi’s for money.

        If you can join the most expensive military in the world, you are not nearly as desperate as, for example, people who survive in NATO without that.
        Also nowhere near as desperate as the people whose countries NATO keeps invading.

    You either agree that the people your empire has been invading have a right to defend themselves by eliminating your ss troops, or you think that your ss troops deserve to survive and get higher education.
    Which is it?

    there are lots of ways to ‘survive.’

    let me ask you question: what’s worse from a moral standpoint: stealing an old ladies purse or killing someone? what about pitching a tent on land that someone else owns? what about parking your RV in a wal-mart parking lot overnight?

    some of those things are crimes and you’ll be looked down upon even if you don’t get caught.

    so, why do we say ‘thank for your service’ and then turn around and see the thief as less than human?

    i’d rather have someone poach on my land than bust into my house and shoot me in the face. i’d think anyone would feel that way.

      That whole thank you for your service thing is also distinctly American. No where else does that.

      I don’t thank people for their service. I understand that some people needed to to survive. You’re legally allowed to park in wall mart overnight with an RV at a majority of locations as well.

    the reason is capitalism. but it doesn’t excuse those who voluntarily join.
