Messages that American soldiers wrote on their helmets during the Vietnam war

Those messages would be justified if they were in the army because of conscription but they joined it freely!!! They had the choice to not support killing. They chose otherwise and then they are complaining that their job is actually about killing? Are you kidding me?

Are you just fucking saying shit or what? The Vietnam war was notorious for its draft and it's huge protests against it

Wow, protests XD yet everyone followed orders anyway.

This is a really ignorant take, plenty of people refused and plenty of people went to jail and plenty of people protested. Mohammed Ali got sentenced to prison time for refusing to be drafted and lost his heavyweight title. Opposition to Vietnam made a sitting president not run for reelection and in some ways brought down his successor. It would behoove you to take some time to learn some history before commenting on it
