    This is based as far as I can tell.

    It’s a bummer how killing strangers for your government is glorified.

      It’s definitely more palatable when the strangers you’re killing are nazis

      Killing for yourself: Government will track you down, kick your door in and throw you in prison and maybe send you into the death row.

      Killing for your government: Government will provide training, shelter, equipment, pay you and award you medals.

      Tribalism. Our tribe is good, their tribe is bad. If you are not with your tribe, you are a traitor, so people are pressurized into this, and start believing lies about our glorious pride and wise leaders.
