      No, the complete opposite. The world would be a better place if every single American servicemember was jailed or shot. I’m saying that categorically dismissing their tactical utility is a mistake, and that if you want the American left to have any political power at all you need to capture and make effective use of the group that actually has the guns. That doesn’t change their moral character, they’re still child murderers. But a child murderer who’s willing to sabotage a weapons shipment is a child murderer who has the capacity to undo a fraction of the harm they’ve caused.
