What’s important to note here is the Armed Forces are not friends of the working class anymore than the police. “Support our troops” bullshit is as anti-worker and anti-labor as “Back the blue” bullshit.
Easssssssy paratrooper. No need to make assumptions on behalf of others. One can attempt, in youthful foolishness, to serve the ideals of the nation, and end up twenty years later just as disenfranchised with the thing as you. E-4 in the military, who is the majority of the armed forces, is very very much poverty level working man too.
Right. Which means those who’ve joined the military in the past should at best be viewed with pity as victims of a con. Treating them as any kind of heroes for signing on with a strike breaking brigade as class traitors only glamorizes the military and perpetuates the con. The way to dispel that notion is to place a stigma upon it by viewing it socially as what it really is.
Vets aren’t heroes. They’re underpaid scabs who’ve been duped by a lie.
