MASSIVE cope from soldiers and cops once they start masturbating about how they're "warriors" and ad-libbing remote memories of romantic chivalry as self-aggrandising fantasy frothingfash

soldiers aren't warriors. they don't follow an honorable code, do what they want--they follow orders. they don't succeed through their individual heroism and martial skill, they are miniscule cogs in a war machine.

you know who is a warrior? a Taliban guerilla, taking up arms of their own accord, going unpaid, organizing autonomously, and dis-arming as it suits them. even a communist guerilla--though a military discipline is emphasized among them--has more in common with a warrior philosophy than these feckless cowards in the US military

Honestly yeah, guerillas are actually forced to take up that hyper-perceptive professional attitude for their survival, meanwhile US Army groundlings need to sit behind giant hesco walls and joystick maneuver a dirty bomb strapped to an AC130 into a house on a mountainside because they think it might be a sniper's outpost.

They couldn't possibly rally up enough courage to win a war in their own backyard, because where would they dream of going home to every waking moment? They don't learn to accept struggle, just to dissociate and let machines carry them. The USA is anti-nature and anti-reality, basically.

going unpaid, organizing autonomously

wait a minute i thought the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a state is a good guy with a state
