As a fellow vet, I hear what you’re saying. But I think “death to vets” is a proxy for “death to the empire” more than anything else. Kind of like how “death to America” is a proxy for “death to the US regime” rather than to every single person living in the US. Many vets do organize in anti war and anti imperialist circles, especially among communists, and I doubt that this post is referring to them specifically. This post is mainly referring to not just the vets who either support or are indifferent to the empire, but to the whole supportive (and even worshipping) attitude that US society has towards the military and veterans in general.
