All food should suck for the soldiers of your empire.

Why are you pretending that they are poor, or that that is somehow a good excuse?

They willingly signed up for engaging in colonial subjugation of the rest of the world, including by kidnapping, torturing, and killing non-white foreigners.

What do you think they had in mind?

I bet you can imagine Russian soldiers in that position. Why not Americans?

Not the person you were asking, but pretending as if the USian/NATO military isn’t the most vile on the planet is silly.

There are plenty of places in the US where abject poverty reigns supreme

Notably, the USian “poverty draft” is a myth.

Factor in the ever present propaganda, and their fate was never their own, sadly.

You are excusing grown-ass monsters’ atrocities because they bought the propaganda as if they had no mind of their own to think that killing foreigners for oil is bad.

Not sure where this hostility is coming from, but if you want to say that tax revenue is spent on something, rather than that that something is prepared a budget for and money is issued according to the budget, but then angrily retort that I am the one talking about money running out is silly.

What “horrific crimes” did the soviets commit?

Guaranteed housing. It genocided the landlords.

I am not. That’s just how states literally work.

If you think that financially sovereign states have some limited supply and can run out of money, you are welcome to explain what would prevent them from simply issuing more money in that situation.

Saying “tax revenue is spent on…” is misleading. Taxes are used to take currency out of circulation (roughly speaking, destroy the currency). A financially sovereign state can issue however much money it wants, i.e. it can form whatever budgets it wants. Money is not a limited resource for them. The fact that it will not want arbitrary budgets is a different manner.

They’re not talking about inflation.

I covered a more broad case than inflation, but if they were not talking about it, then their comment makes no sense.

They have the option of just not going to college.

Or do you think I should be rewarded with more university by kidnapping, torturing, and killing your family?

Nah. These bootlickers deserve much worse.

It’s you who are deciding what’s happening now in the USA is evil and what happened in the Czech Republic was good.

Firstly, the only way that you can claim that what was going on in Czechoslovakia was worse than what is going on now, is it you think that people in Czechoslovakia were treated worse than the people that NATO holds under colonial subjugation, invades, and genocides.
Secondly, let’s be honest, people in Czechoslovakia had some of the highest living standards on the planet. If you disagree, do please explain how much worse their lives were than, for example, those of the people forced to live in bantustans.

Not being allowed to plunder Africa and Asia is not suffering.

Why “strawman”? They are literally saying that that is perfectly okay to do for USians against people elsewhere. Why can’t you also say how it would be so good if you were on the receiving end of this poverty-alleviating programme?

Also, again, what about the poverty and education of the families these soldiers kidnap, torture, and kill?

If you were working for the most vile military in the world and did not engage in sabotage, you at minimum contributed by freeing some other monster from doing your task instead of directly participating in an invasion.

What were the causes of the injuries, I wonder.

Most of the USian military is from well-off backgrounds and none are forced to join.

Also, do you support the countries that these people invade to lethally incapacitate these supposedly-desperate soldiers?

If you can join the most expensive military in the world, you are not nearly as desperate as, for example, people who survive in NATO without that.
Also nowhere near as desperate as the people whose countries NATO keeps invading.

You are saying that it is okay to torture and murder foreigners for money (and college)

You either agree that the people your empire has been invading have a right to defend themselves by eliminating your ss troops, or you think that your ss troops deserve to survive and get higher education.
Which is it?

Would it be okay, then, for me to rob, torture, and kill your family if it was the only way for me to get higher education (i.e. something that is not necessary to live)?
What about the families these monsters kill that won’t be able to receive higher education on account of being dead or kidnapped?
