Thank you. Jesus. The guys I’ve always been friends with served. Weird how that worked out because I didn’t. They mostly say, “Didn’t give a shit, it was a job.” LOL, two of my tightest friends went AWOL and got kicked, not even a dishonorable discharge.
One of my only current friends is my black Marine neighbor. Hate to say, “I’m OK, got a black friend.”, but it’s relevant, particularly given the Marine pictured. He joined, did his best job, now he’s out, not retired, only 30. At least he has some benefits and bought a brand-new house on my block. Also moved in the finest “girl next door” I’ve ever seen. :) (My ex’s daughter. 🙄)
I joke, but seriously, this guy is suffering alcoholism, but at least he’s got some backup from the government. Guess I need to visit more often. I try to drag him out now and again, get shot down, excuses. Need to press the attack.
Quite the assumption to say someone directly participated in murder and torture, without knowing anything about them, or the job they had in the military. Coulda been a cook for all you know.
Murder is also a legal term, and supposing this person didn’t act outside of the RoE, wouldn’t have committed murder. Being a soldier in a warzone, that killed someone does not make you a murderer. I shall now await your post about how awful the US is, and that I’m such a terrible person.

I didn’t kill anyone! I only fed, housed, trained, paid, pointed out the target, and/or drove them to the site of the murder.

Just a job by participating in the murder and torture of innocent people that happens to be living in the wrong place at the wrong time.
At least he doesn’t shoot you down literally.
