if he were to attack the embassy guns blazing, he would be labeled as a lone wolf terrorist as usual.
Define just cause. Suicide is a exercise in futility while trying to stop war. The point of sacrifice for country is what gets young men to enlist. It takes about a week to realize you've been duped and then you fight to save yourself and the man next to you. Patriotism been a recruiting scam forever, promoted by some asshole with a little flag pin on their lapel. There are things worth dying to defend. Government isn't on the list.
every protest is "an exercise in futility" until politicians feel enough heat for fear of losing their seat and all the creature comforts that come attached w/it.
I was a true believer. Who else joins the Marines in the middle of a war that was already exposed as a total shitshow? Boot Camp just sank me further into a delusional state. Just another dumb kid, perfect for the machine. Isn't anyone becomes more disillusioned than a true believer bitch slapped into reality.
