not a strawman. literally every role in the military is involved in the murder of children. every. single. role.

Why “strawman”? You are literally dating 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?
