I mean the flight crew of a B1 are not enlisted men straight out of high school.

Oviously, it's a meme trying to make a point by using exaggeration

I said it before and I'll say it again. A high schooler working part time as a McDonald's cashier is braver than all the troops

Yes, after working as a waiter for a bit, I have massive respect for anyone who works in the service industry/fast food/grocery stores, etc. People are a nightmare to deal with, and that's a fucking understatement. Literally braver than all the troops o7.

It's funny how we have no qualms saying ACAB, with some of the common lines being "they're an occupying force in our own country" (true), "the profession attracts bad people" (also true) and "even if not every individual cop is personally bad, the duties inherent of being a police officer necessitates enforcing systems of violence and oppression" (also true as well). But for some leftists, being an occupying force in someone else's country is just A-OK with them! It doesn't matter if they enforced US-Imperialism in the most literal sense possible, we got to get them on our side guise! The people who bomb villages to get a Camero need to be on our side!

You might say that soldiers flipping allegiance turned the tides in the Russian revolution, but those soldiers were in the same positions as the revolutionaries, only they were conscripted into the army, mistreated, underpaid, and pissed off that they were being forced to fight in a pointless war. Modern day troops chose to kill and imperialize for money, most of them are going to be against us. And don't say a god damn thing about "oh they had to do it so they could acheive a good standard of living", because a) it's not their only option, b) valuing your own self interests over the lives of others is the least socialist thing you could do, and c) the economic incentives also apply to cops, even more so in fact. that doesn't excuse what they do.

TLDR: If ACAB, ATAB, and ACAB.

As a troop myself, let me just go ahead and say fuck the troops.
