Basically just asking, I know a lot of vets and current troops who were radicalized from their time spent in.
My buddy had his thumb sliced off in a firefight and isn't given adequate medical care for chronic pain – Hence he is against the government and capital.
Major General Smedley Butler wrote “War Is A Racket” – Man was a die-hard patriot, and didn't want more of his boys dying for corporate profits. He was an Anti-Capitalist and a veteran.
The feeling ive gotten from Leftist parties is that military folks are prized there – The Red Army itself was formed from the White Army.
If the country wants to say it “cares about it's veterans,” then come to the VA, see a deafened Gulf War Vet, a wounded infantryman, see the mental health care they give for traumatized vets.
