    Kind of ironic that a nation with forced conscription doesn’t end up having any civilians over the age of 18 because it turns them all into combatants.

    I think that’s actually part of the Gambit. By smearing everybody in shit they more or less compel everyone to have to defend the state to protect themselves from the consequences of things they did when they were young and easily manipulated into becoming monsters.

    It doesn’t mean they’re not monsters, it just means that a lot of innocent children got turned into monsters who are no longer innocent or children.

    There is no rank higher than your humanity and you have an obligation to submit to it. These soldiers should have known before they turned 18 not to kill children and that bulldozers attacking houses is wrong. They should have known better and possibly many of them did. I hope every polite nation arrests these people and sends them to the Hague.

    I wish them all the worst.
