    Is it really voluntary when you have no other recourse? When the circumstances of your life are so hopeless that is seems like the only option?

      Work at a gas station or go murder brown people for way more money and paid education?

      It’s a choice, a selfish one.

        Look, I get what you’re saying, and “I was only following orders” is also a choice, and one that you should get rightfully judged for, but let’s not pretend like creating circumstances where people find themselves uneducated and without life prospects isn’t a big recruitment vector for the military.

          Yeah no shit, the military gives you incentives to be a Nazi, you choosing those incentives knowing you’re doing Nazi shit still makes you a Nazi, regardless of how you end up if you don’t choose to be a Nazi.

          What point are you making exactly? We don’t have to pretend like they had no other choice…
