    We only have a chance at peace when ALL soldiers refuse to invade foreign lands.

    You’re not wrong, it’s just that that statement historically doesn’t apply to the US. Very few US wars started because we were attacked.

      So US soldiers need to refuse to invade foreign lands. How does that not apply to the US?

        There are a very small number of problem countries. Your statement implied otherwise.

          Take a look at the list of wars over the past few decades. Sure the US shows up and they are a problem but they are hardly alone in that. This is why I said everyone needs to refuse because with even a small number not refusing you can’t have peace.

            Look at the List of Wars over the past century and a half. The US is the most frequent followed by the British and Russians. These 3 countries account for most of the problem.

      that… exactly means US soldiers need to lay down their arms and refuse their commanding officers orders. but more importantly it means that those of us who get it have to talk to soldiers about that they are not out there in the world defending freedom. they have been lied to and what they’re really doing is stealing wealth for oligarchs
