This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Its just a regular job where you are trained to kill other people.
If it wasn't condoned by the government, they would be considered trained murderers.
Oh, but it is to fight the trained murderers of other nations!
So they are the solution to a problem they cause themselves.
listen bro, animals kill animals all the time, animals fight over territory, the military is just a mechanized extension of that, idk what you want me to tell you, but this is literally just the natural consequence of the industrial revolution.
At least now we aren't killing millions of people, only hundreds of thousands.
Also, this is falling under what i like the call the "ravine fallacy" where it only takes one person falling into a ravine for everybody to get completely fucked.
That’s humanity, going strong for thousands of years off the backs of soldiers.
A small % are trained to, and actually do, kill. Which isn't the point of the comment anyway (except your comment proving the point being made). Also, your last line is incorrect.
