Why doesn't Holla Forums reach out to army vets? Do you know how much they could help in the class war?

Cavalry user, who true Anonymous Soldier is?

I mean the movie with Jamie Foxx

Do you mean Jarhead?

…yes

Protip: most vets see Capitalist exploitation on a regular basis and are outraged by it in the form of the egregious shit that military contractors do. One naval enlisted guy once said to me, when I brought up the prospect of being a contractor once getting out, "Hell no, I don't wanna become an exploiter!"

Some of these guys are already halfway class conscious, they just need to be made to understand that Capitalists operate within society the way that they leech off of the military.

Haven't read thread yet, but I maintain that reaching out to veterans and police is crucial, first because it's a(dmittedly small) step towards treating perps and war victims more humanely, second because it brings socialist causes to the forefront of society, and third, well, the Bolsheviks didn't win the civil war by spitting on the face of "baby killers". Speaking of which, seeing a bunch of locals here cheering on the pointless murder of cops a few days ago was painful.

The topest kek, during my 10month conscription here, was in first month, in boot camp, when one morning, instead of shooting or stance training and so on, they got us to the yard and we had some faggots selling us books on survival and so on.

I guess they are making money from faggots in special forces or whatever…

Anyway, ye, most corporals and so on, here at least, see it as "yet another job".

Then again, our officers and so on, see going to Afganistan or whatever NATO operation as career, AKA moar money and their main worry is whether their wage and pension will get lower or not. Just like public employees.

The police on the other hand.. .. well… Now them I don't trust…

But didn't you hear! One of them was an edgy right-winger! That justifies everything! … Kronsadt was the right thing to do.

I'll reach out to some of them on an individual basis, but some of them really are violent fuckers who joined because they get their jimmies from violence.
I'm lucky enough to have two step-brothers who aren't like that though.

shame, if he was white and had killed a lot more ppl he'd probably be alive today

I mean I can't speak for the sixties and shit. I'm talking about now. Every time we got a new guy who would tell that story, people would roll their eyes and just assume he's bullshitting to act like he's hard or something.

Don't know what you're asking.

I felt the exact sentiment. I mean, think about how many senior NCO's need to stay in the enlisted position wiping the asses of elitist officers for their to even be a senior NCO corps. A lot of these dudes just want to do the actual work that involves their jobs and training, and not just sit back taking credit for shit.

For me, it also shows just how apt people are to do the work they enjoy no matter the suckage. Its insane how many guys say that the military is life on easy mode because of just how structures things are, and like it. They're prime examples of what people could be like when socialism comes around; these types don't need any incentives to do their part and view doing their jobs as just that: doing your job. People who throw shade at communism just can't handle the fact that people at the end of the day work as a natural instinct. Working is the only thing I glean about "human nature", as people do it under all conditions in some form or fashion and again, these dudes show it.

Haha, that was pretty funny. I'm with the message man: some troops are definitely assholes and anyone who has ever been in the military for five seconds knows that there are assholes everywhere. Its practically one of the biggest hurdles to staying sane: they're in leadership, they're in your platoon, they're your squadmate.

Dudes exactly like who you're talking about: weirdos who are assholes, psychos who talk about killing people but are actually cowards when confronted with someone shooting back, etc. But I'll say that they are definitely a minority in the military in the way assholes in the general population are. Everyone knows an asshole, same shit in the Army.
