    Hassan isnt even the worst of these people so many progressives and lefties were doing “not all troops, we’ll need them to win the revolution!”

    And it’s like, this mother fucker wasnt even just a troop (which would be gross on its own). He was a Blackwater thug who talked about enjoying war and he had a Nazi tattoo. This isn’t fucking rocket science

      “not all troops, we’ll need them to win the revolution”

      If they actively denounce their past actions and the military while dedicating their lives to correcting their participation in imperialism, both through action and through firm and clear words, then sure I’ll take them. If they don’t do that? They’re still imperialists, fuck em.

      Also under this reasoning there is still absolutely no need to be nice to anyone in the military or anyone formerly in the military.
