    You are creating a strawman that is inherently self contradictory.

    In this hypothetical If they really are a radicalized former soldier who becomes a leftist, then why would they advocate for more money to the military?

      Because for them imperialism is only bad when the US doesn’t benefit from it.

      Here’s the “strawmen” you think don’t exist:

      Example 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdHH9c4ncKY

        Here’s the “strawmen” you think don’t exist:

        I didn’t claim those people don’t exist, nor did I claim to support them. You are the one who is claiming that those are the only types of radicalized veterans, which is simply untrue.

        For example Michael Prysner is the type of veteran I have been talking about.
