A number of military personal might beg to differ with you. But I'm willing to hear justification for your comment.

- pegasus 4y agoOnly in the military? Wouldn't it be easier to steelman the argument by inserting the missing "most"?
- SapporoChris 4y agoCertainly not only the military. I was countering an absolute statement, I don't need to list all exceptions to prove the statement wrong. I only need to list one.
- AtlasBarfed 4y agoIs that some manipulative jingoistic pro-military shaming? A boxer obviously will see violence, so will a pigskin football player. Those are things they signed up for and the violence is part of the voluntary activity. A soldier (or policeman) signs up to be in war, either an active one or one that might happen. A high school student, a cube worker, a barista, a fireman, they do not sign up for violence. The difference is that children have no choice but to go to school. They are sent to the slaughter.
