Why do you find it ethically ok to continue to support the Department of Defense/War?

  How does the cognitive dissonance of having the luxury to express that opinion while being protected by the most powerful military in the world not rip you apart?

    Do you just follow me around with the same tired argument? Again…I spent 17 years as a military officer I’m not hearing anything from someone that hasn’t served anything. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48478867 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48478867

      > Do you just follow me around with the same tired argument? Indeed not. You're the one who made the comment on something I submitted.

    It feels like the US military is 90% racketeering and 10% physically protecting Americans, if that. Most of our protection comes from two gigantic oceans on both sides. Though, I really do enjoy this racket so I guess I'm not allowed to ask any questions about the ethics of keeping it going.
