Totally honest question: do you feel this way too about Russian soldiers in Ukraine, or IDF soldiers in Gaza?

I think it's fair to say that "nice cops" see themselves as civilians, and representatives of the population, trying to improve things.

Soldiers are military, and a very different category. But! I read many US military personnel go in there because superior education is not really accessible anywhere else. So, maybe there's a gray zone, there? Cannon fodder soldiers from poor strata die first, in any war. Most don't want to be there.

I have particular views about IDF being an genocidal maniacal occupation force for a colonising state that commits innumerable crimes against humanity. That you're probably not interested about.

And I have particular views about NATO using disguised Nazi Ideology in puppet states to seize and control it, that I also wouldn't think you wouldn't be particularly interested about.
