I was homeless and hitchhiking through the country when a soldier – a high-ranking officer, IIRC – picked me up. The talk we had didn't take a month, not even an hour. But he made similar remarks, and other things he said changed my view greatly, and planted the seed of an idea: that actually, they are potential allies in our quest for peace. Nobody really wants war, except for a few psychopaths.

yeah, you always think of soldiers as this pro-war numbnuts, at least I did as Teenager. Actual Soldiers however care about their friends dying, so they hate it if it happens without reason. Its actually quite frequent the military opposes the state. I heard the US Army did when Obama wanted to attack Syria 2015, but Im not sure on that one.

Yeah that's a nice sentiment, nobody wants war, except the many that do, propaganda is a motherfucker, and the psychopaths tend to concentrate in power in the military especially those that actually fight, infantry is saturated in both command and enlisted with psychopaths, glory chasing, and ready to sell their own for that, don't ever doubt that.
