One of the bad-faith assertions here is that people join the armed forces TO mass-murder people. This has never been the common motivation, and I just wanted to point that out.

There is an entire catalogue of issues with armed forces deployments into strange and foreign lands with minimal support or mandate, but we don't assert the motivation; because that lens looks at you too, and it's not good right now.
