That said, many of the veterans I have met (and this may just be because of the bias of my own experience and people I associate with) have come from backgrounds that either left them with little other prospects to afford a higher education than a military scholarship, or grew up in families that supported imperialism to such an extent that they felt it was their civic duty to fight on behalf of our nation.

i dont think you are owed a higher education if it comes at the expense of random brown peoples' lives

dumbass
we should be very skeptical of US military or veteran "anti-war leftists". having vocally different politics alone doesn't make somebody like that any more trustworthy. theyve already shown you who they are
Ladios:
Yup, you've convinced me that it is entirely impossible for anyone to change their worldview under any circumstance.
