Is it common in warfare for this level of dehumanisation? And I don’t mean the dehumanisation of the Palestinians by the Israelis, I mean the self-dehumanisation of those wearing these shirts.
Do all soldiers routinely boast about this kind of stuff? I mean, when they find themselves in a war in which they are killing kids and pregnant women. Am I being really naive? Does this happen in every war?
I’m thinking about Iraq and Vietnam, so I guess it kinda does.
Perhaps Arthur C Clarke was right and the military should be a completely separate society. If you want to give your life to the Military, that’s cool and all, and probably you should get the best of everything in return. Healthcare, housing, education, commodities. The VERY BEST. I mean it.
Just, maybe not access back into society.
