What abt soldiers? An 18yo from Flint gets recruited bc there are no other prospects. Trained & indoctrinated, sent to MidEast to fight war for power & oil, taught to hate "towelheads" & to have barely-restrained programming to discriminate violently. Should they all be killed?

And everything that came before that should not be taken into account? The literal brainwashing / programming that is essential to military training (or any kind of institutionalised grouping) should not be considered?

You believe that everyone is like you, that everyone has the same capacity to elevate themselves out of that rhetoric. That is where I disagree - I believe you are an outlier. Your intelligence & determination are admirable qualities but they also represent a type of privilege.

So wait, are you saying that everyone in the Levant is an intelligent, self-actualising free-thinker who just wants peace and love and acceptance for all and that no-one is indoctrinated by the self-interested machinations of state machinery? Because I know you're not.
