    No, there isn’t. At all. What so ever. A soldier is merely a tool by a state that may or may not (and historically NOT) have good intentions.

    A soldier is first and foremost instructed to FOLLOW ORDERS. Not because of some nefarious plot to use people, but because doubt on the battlefield can mean a weakness ripe for exploitation, and can introduce delays that mean defeat.

    A soldier is a TOOL, not a freedom fighter.

        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)

        Tell me you’ve never studied history without telling me you’ve never studied history.

        Myopic indeed, you know nothing about being a soldier. Go play GI Joe somewhere else. Pathetic loser.
