My friend went into the military and, as he puts it, ‘swept sand in a sandstorm’ for most of his time there. His experience seemed to be mostly boredom. He wore a beard to hid his nega-chin and ended up working on AC units for the most part.
Let’s see, last time I checked Russia was releasing violent criminals to fight in Ukraine. You go ahead and find me a modern comparison from the U.S., I’ll wait.
Edit: violent criminals who rape new recruits, by the way — in the interest of clarity.
Theres a lot of rape going on in the us military too. Youll find lots of testemony about these crimes being silenced and unpunished, with a bit of research.

I don’t have to play your stupid games. The vast majority of Russian soldiers are/were not convicts but either people who voluntarily joined their country’s army to make a living like your friend did or civilians who were drafted/conscripted. Most of them also did not kill or rape anyone like your friend. They probably would say they swept snow in a snowstorm instead.
Yet they still enable Russia’s attack on Ukraine. So did your friend with regards to USA’s attacks on Iraq, Afghanistan etc.
Your friend is not better than them because he is your friend nor because he is American.
Your friend is by your own logic then as innocent of the killing in that war is Putin is of the killing in Ukraine. He hasn’t shot anyone, just like your friend.
You can even try to claim some more weird ass non-existing morality points by pointing out that Hey, the US doesn’t even recruit soldiers all that much nowadays… they just hire private companies now… See? US military good, it’s mercenaries that are bad.
Ya know… like Wagner Group. Oh no… guess they’re more alike than you think.
So your logic is that the U.S. is equally as bad as Russia because they hire mercenaries, so bums working on AC units back home share the same blame as hired guns and professional soldiers.
I know, right? I equally despise the military industrial complex at large, as well as those who are just following orders/helping out in the background and their online simps.

You can say its different. Yes, i agree. But the us doesnt really have any moral high ground as your comment seems to suggest.

You mean my friend who was only ever in stationed in Texas?
Yeah you sure are good at determining my ‘stupid games’, you really got me there buddy. At least I know what to tag you.

There is simply no fucking way you’re trying to say a grunt has as much responsibility as the dictator. I simply cannot entertain this lmao
Those are your words. If you think Putin is a murderer your friend is a murderer. Deal with it, friend of murderers.

What a ridiculous group of people.
