I'm trying to imagine myself, 20 years old, in the military, and being told that we're going to war with Russia.
I wouldn't want it, but my mindset at 20 was to n do what I was told and even if I don't support it, it's what our officials, who were elected by the people, want.
I don't think I broke that mindset until I was in my late 20s to early 30s.
Being in the military is a form of brainwashing. Seriously, the goal of basic training is to break you down and build you back up into a member of a team. It's not even subtle.
Just drunk thinking, pondering. If the soldiers today were ever told to point their guns inwards, "all enemies, foreign and domestic.."
"domestic"
How many wouldn't personally agree, but would still do so willingly?
