Trying to convince an old friend not to join up to do IT for the army. This is what liberalism/being “apolitical” gets you - someone that is told about SYSTEMIC war crimes and responds “there’s corruption in any industry” (tacit admission of the military industrial complex btw).
“Obviously I don’t condone or support that”.... I just wanna become part of it?
The worst part about being a leftist is seeing people you’ve always liked and respected become part of the system you loathe - or realising they’ve always been part of it, in some cases.
I hope he realizes that "being vocal about it" usually means that you end up in the wrong end of a "friendly fire" incident.
