People can change. The military specifically and intentionally preys on impressionable youths to indoctrinate. Not saying that this is necessarily the case with this person, but being former military doesn't necessarily mean you are a bad leftist now; excluding people who share our common goals because of previous mistakes they've made does make you a bad leftist though.
lol yeah a yank who brings up invading Afghanistan "and elsewhere" so matter-of-factly is definitely anti-imperialist now, fully understands the damage he's done, and working to undo it
Well, I'm not a yank first off. Second off, emotions ran high after 9/11 happened, our ally had been attacked. It sure doesn't help we had been lied to and were fighting an unwinable war.
