The catch phrase “Thank you for your service” is a testament to the level of brainwashing US people are under. Never mind these people are western imperialists no different from terrorists that will kill for whoever pays them. And never mind the people they spent their service time bombing, pillaging, raping, or whatever heinous crimes they commit against the people while stationed abroad. It is not uncommon for them to even abuse children or murder women after commiting sexual violence against them. Just look at the atrocities American soldiers have done against the people in Japan, a country where the people have the internet and can actually tell the world about what is done to them. In the middle east or countries like Afghanistan where the population is brown, the soldiers are known to randomly shoot civilians either out of a sadistic desire to murder civilians or boredom.

Looking at the military objectively, would you thank a veteran who worked under Adolf Hitler? Or take sympathy on them for the pain they suffered from committing genocide and war crimes? What about a member of the Taliban or the islamic state? Why is the United States flag and constitution so magical that it allows people to continue the delusion their country is any different from other imperialist and fascist states, and by extension the soldiers contributing towards this oppression are deserving of any sympathy, let alone respect? Because the regime will not openly allow the trials of war crimes for their soldiers, many of them end up homeless or in poverty, but this is a kind fate compared to the Nuremberg trials or international cases to try US veterans for their crimes against humanity. Which it should be noted, the US does not allow at the threat of another world war.

Even those at the top of the military industrial complex like Lockheed Martin or other weapons manufacturers are too tied up in the regime to face any real legal repercussions for providing the terrorist US military with weapons. They not only control the government but also the public opinion through mainstream media.

And besides all of these issues, veterans tend to be some of the worst people you ever interact with. They seem to lack respect, anger management skills, and anyone who is unfortunate enough to be related to them probably suffers from their presence if they’re not overtly abused either physically or emotionally by them. If you ever have the misfortune of interacting with a veteran, don’t say any more than you need to. Wherever you hear liberals thanking vets, run the other way. Even other class enemies know to save face, while veterans do not.
