DESCRIPTION:Revolution Newspaper Discussion:\n\nWhile it is possible, and correct, to 
 hate the way in which those who become “the troops” have been 
 systematically lied to in regard to what their mission is all about, and 
 are cynically used by the ruling class—often ending up killed, or more 
 often terribly maimed and wrecked, mentally as well as physically in a 
 large number of cases—there can be no support for these troops, because 
 what they are conditioned, shaped, and trained to do, and what they are 
 actually doing, is carrying out war crimes and crimes against humanity on a 
 massive scale, all in the service of imperialism. They are not “serving 
 their country”—except insofar as “their country” refers to the 
 imperialist state. Nor still less are they “protecting the rights” of 
 the people of the country. They are acting as the massively destructive and 
 murderous forces of invasion and occupation, they are serving the 
 imperialist system and the ruling class of that system, which lures and 
 then organizes and trains and then deploys them in the pursuit of its 
 interests, in opposition to interests of, and to the great detriment of, 
 the masses of people throughout the world who are the target of this 
 imperialist system. (from Revolution Newspaper revcom.us)\n
