@destraht "Soldier dumb go pew pew" is not entirely true. But what bothers me is that if you criticize some aspect of the military you are automatically anti american and pro military abolishment.

So yes, at some point I did need to actually complete something meaningful if nothing else than to tame those voices in my head
Similar situation here. Still working on completing something meaningful. Funny how well shame can imprint the mind, espicially when we're young.
However, what about these losers who have never been able to quit something? Even if it was just fucking terrible.
They get "honor" and "accolades" in return.

@destraht You don't have to justify yourself to anyone. You got into something because it looked good from the outside. You didn't like it from the inside. So you got out.

No one except war criminals killed "random brown people in Iraq"
However, if top brass ordered the killing of random brown people in Iraq, and you the dutiful soldier executed that order, then it's not a war crime.

@Typo-MAGAshiv You said it yourself. This is a dox risk. Delete.

on top of that, you're a coward who refused to meet an obligation you freely took on
So what? Is someone a pussy for quitting drugs after they freely chose to use them? Is someone insecure for not raising someone else's kid after they freely chose to be in a relationship with them?

@destraht Typo's point is that you should grant her some agency. Both parties are at fault. The powers pressured her AND she went along with it. She became super famous and rich as a result. Some truly are helpless victims of circumstance, but not all.
A squirrel has been going cheep cheep cheep for 3 hours now, getting on my nerves. It stopped. If it starts again Im going to find it and punch its face.
