While difference between giving and following orders is meaningful, that does not free the latter people from responsibilities.
Obviously that doesn't condemn every soldier for the horrible shit their country have done (Cambodia?..) but this "respect the uniform" crap is also ridiculous.
Is it also ridiculous that the current overtly fascist administration would call out anti-fascism as a terrorist philosophy? 'Cos dude, it's happening and there's nothing ridiculous about it.
Respecting the uniform, in this case, is less about Vietnam or Korea or the Middle-east or any of the more recent wars the US enjoined in.. and more about the invasion of Normandy, the battle of the Ardennes or the liberation of Auschwitz.
Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, Dachau.. Are you not seeing that ugly militant specter is goose-stepping its way back into political vogue again?
Take a breath, step back and look at the NOW.
So many comments around here show how uneducated Americans are on 20th century history.
"OMFG it's so BAD now!"
Uh. You're about out of time to grab a weapon, buy ammo and practice. The learning curve is steep and it's about to get shitloads worse.
"Ha! You'll just die if you fight!"
"And the alternative?"
What makes you think I haven't already?
My favorite liberal, who now that I think about it is probably leftist, has an entire car's volume worth of ammo (I know because he didn't want the movers to see it when he moved so we parked his ammo in our garage. It was bigger than the Nissan I was driving) and I used to wonder why
I'm in the Northeast US. You'd be surprised at how many 2nd Amendment Democrats there are up here.
The current vogue in right-leaning circles is that liberals are all anti-firearm, limp-wristed sissies.
That's only as few, if any, would ever post pictures of themselves wrapped up in camo gear toting their firearms and chest thumping "MURRICA!!" at the top of their lungs.
Who wants to be some easily identified target when the shit hits it?
It's that milquetoast looking guy driving the Prius that's splattered with Sierra Club and Hike the Applachian Trail stickers on it that's got an arsenal in his basement.
The reality is, it was Marx, NOT Ronald Reagan, that opined that the working classes should resist efforts by the government to disarm them.
