every single one; when I see a shitty tel aviv influencer join the IDF, I look forward to them being exploded by heroic Hamas resistance fighters; I pray constantly for their violent death

Well except trying to lump in people who provide counseling after the fact that's a pretty obvious bullshit false equivalency but I suspect you know you were reaching for that example.

Not really, there are psychiatrists, counselors, etc who are in the military doing the same job they would outside the military. Are they more complicit than the contracted workers?

Is their work facilitating the soldiers being able to murder people sooner?

If so than yes, they are more complicit than psychologists who don't get soldiers cleared to get back on the frontlines asap.

It is increasingly hilarious to watch you attempt to make this out to be a complicated moral issue.

Here's a handy flow chart.

Does their work enable current active duty service members to more quickly and easily kill innocent people?

Yes --> they are bad

No --> they are not bad

Hell, let's turn it around and go back to the current thread were in.

So does all this mean that actually you can't criticize the idf because everybody is equally culpable for what's going on in Gaza and the idf is going to be the vanguard of Palestinian liberation any day now?

Expecting the American MIC to be instramental to the socialist revolution in this country sure does feel an awful lot like when democrats keep convincing themselves lifelong republican removed like muller comey and garland are going to fight their battles for them and take down a sitting republican president.

Or like how they whitewashed Bush because he gave Michelle Obama a piece of candy one time.
