In my view, you did not present a valid excuse for joining the U.S. military. The analogy between joining the military and paying taxes does not fit either. Many are born into corrupt tax systems and may not be sufficiently developed to avoid being complicit in the government’s wrong doings via paying taxes. But ones who CHOOSE to join the military are personally adding to the problem. They are quite aware that when they join the military they are agreeing to fight in defense of American false values which includes killing other non-Whites. Claiming to have gained insights from those military experiences does not make that a good decision. We generally can learn from fools but that does not make their foolish actions right. People should learn to manage without deliberately doing things that are against our collective well-being.

You said:
“by paying taxes and working within the 'system' of the west, we are all in some manner supporting a governemnet and its policies that we may not agree to.”

* Not everyone who pays taxes in the west is supporting the corrupt governments by virtue of paying taxes. However, I only know a few people who can reasonably show how this is done. I know this one will be quite difficult to grasp, but I can show how someone could be in any country but not of the corrupt system, and be free from contributing to the ills in the system although they pay taxes. Of course, getting that right is quite an accomplishment, but it can be done. People have to work that out properly if they want to be really conscious.

You asked:
“i am oppposed to most of the actions of americas military-but do you not think that the military would even be worse, if there were not blak and brown people within its ranks?”

* NO!

You asked:
“would we want a all white military?”

* NO!
