[QUOTE=Funka Genocide;1011841]Well ok, that's pretty true, but also self evident. A person in the military is just a pawn of the government, which in turn operates on the (implied) behalf of society.

Practically speaking, unless you can apply some form of condemnation to an entire society that actually makes it change, your criticisms are useless and seemingly pointed in the wrong direction. You can call all military personnel nationalist pig dogs, but you're not going to accomplish anything. [/QUPTE]
I'm not insulting people in the army but the army itself. That's why I want it abolished.
And all those poor people who needed the job in the army? They can have some of the trillions of dollars they just saved.

I'm sure you can draw comparisons between Nazis and the American military, but any that imply something meaningful (rather than the fact that they both killed lots of people) is going to most likely be completely farcical. To my knowledge the American military of the 20th and 21st century hasn't participated in any pro-active genocidal efforts. I mean sure we've killed a lot of people with perhaps flimsy justification, but again that's what America wanted, and so functionally speaking that is "good".
Well America is effectively genociding large parts of the world, just because they not shooting them with guns doesn't mean they are not. Rest of the major powers have been doing it for longer.
I've been over the whole Nazis aren't really villains things quite recentely on this forum though so it's a bit of a rehash.

In summary: army=bad, people int he army= not bad (necessarily).
