@jhoughjr1 Sometimes morale should be hurt though. Keeping morale up at all costs when fighting an unjust war is not desirable for any person with a sense of ethics. Sometimes, the military needs to be sabotaged when it's acting with illegitimacy.

@BonusHole There's plenty of good reasons for joining up though. The downside is that there's a price you have to pay for it. Like the risk of being shipped off to fight a war you don't really agree with.

@kwazooplayingguardsman5615 Yeah. The U.S pre-WW2 was worth something. But it's turned to crap ever since.

@BonusHole Can't say I see it that way. Some of the benefits are worth going to a war for. Even if you disagree with the war.

I don't see any harm in itself that more people prefer to get news from social media content creators rather than the big mainstream media companies. If you follow a content creator, you can usually develop a good feel for whether they're trustworthy or not. A content creator that frequently lies and misrepresent news stories end up being called out on it most of the time. But with the random "news anchors" and their faceless and unknown editors and news teams, why should anyone trust them? Especially seeing as how they have frequently been exposed as misrepresenting news stories and overtly pushing political propaganda time and time again. They have destroyed their own reputation as "objective" news deliverymen. They made their bed, now they can lie in it.

@BonusHole Oh yeah, the UK really craps on their servicemen. I heard they even tried to prosecute them for shit that went down with the IRA, and that's some next level fuckery. First you send in troops to deal with the Irish in a violent fashion. And then you have the gall to try and prosecut them for following orders that their government gave them in the first place? That's really twisted.

@jhoughjr1 So the german officers who tried to assassinate Hitler, were wrong to commit treason? Is this the way I am to interpret your statement?

@jhoughjr1 Who cares what governmemts allow? Not all governments are moral agents. And sometimes assassinations are the only moral recourse. As is sabotaging the military.
