It’s so bizarre when you find out these military bases are entire small towns with chains of restaurants, high speed roads, and everything short of a suburb.
Also, my favorite part of this video and much of the early COVID days were how clowns were wearing their masks outside where there’s nobody around, then take them off when they’re in a tiny enclosed space, interviewing their subjects at a spit’s length from each other.
Also, the soldiers deserve it. If I knew that my baby killing job would also include being systemically murdered, SA’d, and my complaints tossed out the window, I would simply get another job that doesn’t involve killing babies.

Not a good take here comrade, but I feel the sentiment. A lot of us turn communist and or anti war/anti American empire afterwards. A major contingent of trans people are also vets too. Those of us that speak out against the military are able to make waves. There’s also class dynamics within the military - the brass and enlisted comes from a long history of class warfare. Mike Prisner would be a good jumping off point to see some great work from radicalized vets.
Edit: I should specify though - all command staff that interface with the Pentagon get the pit, they know full well what their doing.
The US military along with the IDF are criminal organizations akin to the SS. An SS member does not get out of justice for their crimes if they become communists after the war. Or if they’re trans. Or if they were on the wrong end of class power dynamics during their service in the SS.
Like you said, some of the brass, the officers, and the particularly aggregious war criminals should be pitted out of hand. Most US active military and vets still get a term of reeducation and hard labor commensurate to the crimes committed in their positions.
Of course there will also be exceptions and allowances for people who were conscripted against their will, or who tried to stop a crime or whistleblow or whatever, but I am not inclined to repeat the failure of denazification by letting war criminals off the hook with a couple of "my bad"s before they’re put in power again.
