    That shithead was ok with killing people for money, and now he doesn’t like being treated like a shithead?

    Talk about FAFO. Get lost, asshat.

      Aren’t all soldiers signing up to kill people for money, yes he’s on the opposing side and we can hate him for supporting a fascist war machine that’s trying to annex a soverign nation; but I don’t see how we can hate him for the simple act of being a soldier unless we’re prepared to say that about all of our own soldiers as well.

        In context, I think OP meant “for money and considering nothing else”. If you’re not with a sketchy mercenary company you can maintain a certain level of expectations about who it is you end up killing. This guy apparently wasn’t worried about that.

        Some, probably most, sign up to protect their homeland not to kill lots of people. I think such motivation would get you kicked out of some armies, in fact. No one wants a psychopath in their squad!
