How can he not understand being a part of an invading force makes him guilty by association? A (former) soldier still thinks he was saving lives instead of destroying them, as if Iraq didn’t have clinics or vaccines before his organization bombed them.
On a more positive note, even people like this support Palestine.
This seems like a textbook case of cognitive dissonance. Like they have some of the right ideas, but squaring those with their actions pretty clearly casts them as the bad guy and that’s hard to deal with.
That being said he was still part of an illegal invasion force and a war criminal, so I’m not too concerned
ors downvote bombed the people pointing this out.

They literally do believe this, people probably still think Iraqis lived in mud huts before the American bombs of freedom and prosperity fell
Although they may have been right about not having vaccines because of the sanctions by their own government
