This is what the American "left" unironically believes
This is something that has always made me question the American "left." It's this pro-veteran mindset that veterans were just "poor little victims who were propagandized into joining 🥺." Like, I fucking hate this. Would you redeem a former SS officer? No you wouldn't. Would you redeem a former IDF soldier? No you wouldn't. Why on Earth would an American veteran be any different?
As a European, I'm just tired of seeing American DemSocs, Anarchists, MLs even try to redeem veterans because mUh We NeEd ThEm FoR rEvOlUtIoN!
