We’d be better off as a society if every single person who volunteered for Vietnam never came back.

Many murderer, eerrrrr…soldiers, are obviously against your opinion, but without the balls to say so.
And yes, if no nation would find people willing to die for money, errrr freedom’n’stuff, the billionaires would have to fight each other themselves, and then wouldn’t.
But there will always be clueless people, indoctrinated by enough bullshit to do so. Probably especially in the USA where the observationally challenged are legion and even wear red hats.

Even if you want to give some people the benefit of the doubt because of poor education and indoctrination, Mueller went to Princeton. He went to Vietnam knowing exactly what he was signing up for. He wasn’t tricked. He wasn’t desperate.
He just really wanted to kill indigenous resistance fighters, because that’s the #1 USAmerican passtime.

Those who know exactly what they’re doing are probably even worse. Despite a good education is absolutely no indicator for a lack of indoctrination. I have seen so many incredibly dumb people that still had PhDs and other titles.
