Interesting myopic & binary definitions.

I’ll show show you mine, if you show me yours
Lol.
Shows how little you know.
In the military, shit isn’t up for debate. You do as you’re told. It is very much black and white.
(Well, from some exceptions we don’t need to get to because you’d never reach the level where one has to utilise their own brain.)
edit this excludes warcrimes obviously. ALL soldiers EVERYWHERE are mandated to refuse orders that would lead to warcrimes. (how they’re taught what are warcrimes is a different matter entirely)
Myopic indeed, you know nothing about being a soldier. Go play GI Joe somewhere else. Pathetic loser.

On a scale of how Ignorant are you…
Dude, your post is barely coherent, why so aggressive?
Geez, can’t nobody have any fun any more?
What’s fun? And on a scale how much fun are you having 0-10

There has never been a time where soldiers were fighting for freedom. They fight for their master.
That’s a very cynical view. Their country is their master, if they got invaded, like Ukraine do, then them fighting for their master(or country, if you will) is fighting for freedom.
Fighting foreign enemies at home doesn’t automatically make it a “fight for freedom”. Case in point: Taliban vs USA
You don’t think the Taliban were fighting for their freedom?
What were they fighting for then?
Fighting for power first and foremost, but I guess you could go and say it was for the “freedom to rule”
Fighting foreign enemies at home doesn’t automatically make it a “fight for freedom”.
Uhh no shit, nuance is important.
I mean, there are soldiers fighting for their countries’ safety today! They’re just not the ones thousands of kilometres away from home (they might be piloting drones on the other side of the world, I guess, lol), of course.
Maybe not in our lifetime, but you’re really going to say ww2 wasn’t to stop evil? What about the civil war?
ww2 wasn’t to stop evil?
It wasn’t, thinking so is a very absurd reduction of many different interests at play over 3 fronts (Africa, Europe, Asia)
What about the civil war?
Which one? Afghan, Lybian, Syrian, Iraqi, Rwandan, Spanish?
This guy is defending nazis and slavery
What do you consider a soldier to be? Because I have a feeling you are using a very narrow definition that excludes some of the examples I would make.
Interesting…
This post screams of insecurity and sadness on the part of OP.
I think OP romanticizes the idea of being a soldier like a Hollywood actor.
OP has never served.
What?
That not how any of that works.
+1 actually a shower thought
When you’re a soldier you don’t really have agency over the morality of what you do, aside from being technically allowed to protest against committing war crimes.
So no.
You just generally hope the government of the military you’re serving is makes the moral call.
What you’re thinking of is a violent psychotic vigilante.
Naw man as a soldier you will be told to do your tiny part of a tiny task. No kidding that part may just be, take that water tank over there and wait until told what to do.
If you’re one of those brave dudes trying to hit aircraft with old rocket launchers while sprinting in your flipflops, you’re almost certainly putting down evil, sure.
