smh, your soldiers don’t want to write books about how terrible warmongering made them feel so they can get that kovie deal?
wack
Comment on You've probably met someone who has killed a person
dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 2 days agoYeah. I was thinking for the UK it’s highly unlikely a cop has killed someone here. We do follow America into war and I’ve got a few soldier friends who likely killed people, but our soldiers seem to talk about it less than American ones.

Not sure why you’re trying to say.

He’s mocking the typical route of a soldier with a story: a memoir or fictionalized tale of what they did, with the hope the book sells enough to get them a chunk of money or a movie studio makes a movie of it.

Ah thanks. Now you explained it, it makes sense but before I couldn’t tell if he was having a go at the UK or not, to be clear people are justified to shit on my countries foreign policy.
American sniper vibes I guess.

“USian soldiers will invade your country, and then ten years later will write a book and make a movie about how traumatized they were by the war.”

Same with America. Despite TV/Movie Copaganda, most cops go their entire careers without pulling their weapons, and certainly without firing it.
The most likely American citizen to have killed is a military member.

You have a whole lot more military than all other countries too making it more likely you meet a killer.
