    soldiers are victims of the military industrial complex but they’re also complicit in its crimes. without soldiers, the US army would have no power

      And by that logic every employee of every company ever is complicit in the crimes of capitalism. In an average year US insurance companies kill a lot more people than the US military, but we don’t blame the average employee for that. If whoever shot Brian Thompson had gunned down some random call centre worker no one would be praising them.
