I’m not expecting every vet to be Mike Prysner but any of them that claim to align with my politics should be aspiring to be more like Mike Prysner in beliefs at the minimum. You have to be against US empire and the military that feeds it and feeds off it. That bar isn’t in heaven it’s barely off the floor yet I don’t see more people clearing it, it’s quite grim.

And yeah, I always hold out hope for rehabilitation but, it’s the Fourth Reich, it’s like if you were to take me out of an AA meeting and drop me off outside a bar. Steeping in this culture makes rehabilitation of that awful chud military mindset harder.
