I agree with you wholeheartedly, every successful socialist revolution was successful with the help of former military veterans. Understanding the straight evil methods of western military, particularly the US of course, recruiters is an important aspect of the conversation, those guys are diabolically evil. They will lie to 17 year olds, to their face, promise them so many things, then just fuck them over.
In my experience, most US veterans I’ve met are either super to the left or super to the right. Once you see from inside the machine it’s really hard to stay neutral about it.
