    I’m all for redemption and rehabilitating. The “too young to know what they were involved in”. The “poverty draft” argument. Etc.

    But, all of that relies on those former military or former cops actually realizing what they were a part of and spend the rest of their life speaking out against it and actually working to a restorative justice. If all you do is “feel bad” and have PTSD from killing children.

    Unfortunately, when you die being a modern day Nazi, I’m not gonna waste my time thinking or caring about “if” any of those things could have happened. I’m just glad you’re dead and not hurting people anymore.
