      Any combat veteran who went to “free” (invade) another country to defend US interests (this means to steal from other countries) may fit this bill.

      However, don’t forget that, for some poor people it’s the only door left open to survive in the US.

      Don’t forget that many were drafted and lied to.

        I’ll give you that for vietnam… but even those fellas aren’t around in any great numbers anymore. I’ll even grant the first gulf war as a neutral, seeing as kuwait was invaded, but the politics around everything involved doesn’t really leave any ‘good guys.’

        But anything since then? Fuck right off with that. My cousin went and joined up after 9/11, and it still is a mental fuck for him because he realized once he got there how idiotic the country was being to invade another with the idea of bringing freedom.
