I mean, there are plenty of boring desk jobs in the military too.
Was Adolf eichmann a murderer? He never pulled a trigger.

It would be better if they would kill the people making college tuition hard to get instead of killing people so their oppressors could gain even more power.
Okay, but, and hear me out; what if i just actively pursued the most abhorrent results and went full 'cruelty squad' here?

The 'I joined bcs I needed an education' was the first excuse.
This is the follow up.
They have to rationalise it to themselves.
As if there's any reason to justify joining the worst and most prolific killing machine on the planet. -

Yep, you can sit behind your screen and click on the wedding where the drone should strike.

That would take effort and risk.
Bombing brown people from a distance is much easier. -

*You would?
(sorry)
Or
You will!

And they got their asses handed to them pretty badly by guys who didnt all have shoes a couple times since their last win.

The US has lost everything after WW2, and there they played a small role despite the Hollywood fantasy depictions.

Or the humanitarian missions delivering food or supplies sometimes. Most of the time it's sit around and look threatening enough that trade is protected. That's not really a defense, it's ultimately a tool protecting American capital and propping up a failing system, just saying that most of the expense doesn't go to murdering brown people.

What? where would that be?
And in no way that is protecting trade the biggest part of their horrible activities.
Unless it's drug trade like cocaine in the contra scandal or heroin from Afghanistan. -

Surprising number of people come out as trans in the military. The fucking Airforce has a shocking number of them. It's a very strange place that has a curious way of cracking your egg, despite what would seem to be a host of disincentives.
Might have something to do with the way the military has become a magnet for the technically savvy and experimental, because they've got such enormous stockpiles of hardware and (ahem) armies of people needed to engineer and maintain it all. The military is overflowing with broke smart people, stashed all over the mechanics bays and flight decks and logistics offices of its sprawling bureaucracy.

Former Green Beret Recounts Horrors at ‘Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’ Aid Sites
We played this game in Afghanistan and Iraq as well. Not to mention Haiti, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan, ... the list goes on. Great book on it that came out recently - The Fort Bragg Cartel - which initially revolved around US military officers trafficking Afghani heroin sold by the Northern Alliance back to the States under the cover of aid convoys and relief efforts. But it goes down a rabbit hole of cut-out organizations and black ops networks employed by the US for all sorts of sabotage, spying, and assassination work.
Most famously, there was the fake CIA vaccination campaign that was used to hunt Osama bin Laden, and poisoned millions of people against the idea of western medical aid workers as benevolent agents.
most of the expense doesn’t go to murdering brown people
At its heart, every one of these campaigns is intended to facilitate the murder of foreign adversaries (most commonly, brown people - try not to dig too deeply into why). Whatever kindness they provide is only to facilitate some act of terror in the near or distant future.

He never pulled a trigger.
He joined the SS in 1932 and was tasked with event security for political rallies which routinely became violent. And then he rose through the ranks of an organization dedicated to covert violence very quickly. So, I wouldn't bank on that.
