    The ‘I joined bcs I needed an education’ was the first excuse.
    This is the follow up.
    They have to rationalise it to themselves.
    As if there’s any reason to justify joining the worst and most prolific killing machine on the planet.

      To be fair it’s not the worst killing machine. Its nit like top 50% and itvus the most expensive, but it usually gets a pretty good amount of killing done.

          For pure numbers killed, i think russia wins. For efficiency per body dropped… When was the last time the Americans fully, like, won a war? Because it wasnt in my or my parents’ lifetime.

          And they got their asses handed to them pretty badly by guys who didnt all have shoes a couple times since their last win.

            Russia hasn’t got a death count near the US.
            The US has lost everything after WW2, and there they played a small role despite the Hollywood fantasy depictions.
            (I forgot the heroic victory against Grenada)

                    They only entered when it was certain the Soviets would win and get all of Europe.
                    The allieds together only fought about 15% of the nazis, the rest was on the eastern front.
                    They were there to save their nazi friends, help them escape or fight the Soviets.
                    And yes the americans, vultures as they are, surely put their people in charge.
                    And those people were nazis, fully rehabilitated .
