They do literally get groomed into it right out of high school, I think they have a point.

So do thousands of American high schoolers every year. They rightfully don't get our kid gloves "smol bean child soldier, uWu, just following orders!!" treatment. The IDF shouldn't, either.

difference would be if there was 3 years mandatory service or whatever for every person, which I think they do there?

Either way fuck em, I wouldn't expect people to cry over my corpse if I became a party of the US war machine willingly or no, if I'm on the team I've gotta go. But I do see the point about there literally not being a choice if they just happen to be born there and can't move away on their own

I mean I'd be fine being killed if I was conscripted into the iof, I'm not suggesting otherwise, but you get born where you get born and not everyone is in a situation to pick up and leave their life etc

Again, Death to all iof even those conscripted
