yeah, in revolution-revolution military experience might be necessary, but more relevant would be leaked design docs of drones, jamming info and backdoors. like tacticool shit is irrelevant, if your enemy is willing to use airpower.

That's true. I'm also thinking of the tactical advantage having military guys on our side gives us. Too many burgerbrains worship anything with troops and see one of them get gunned down by fascist drones could radicalize a lot of people.

i mean ice arrested some vets, to crickets, so (?) on that. the best advantage is advertising against joining military tbh, and draining the coffers of amerikkka through spurious va claims. it's kinda whatever, i struggle to imagine revolution where combined arms experience is relevant, that would have to be some kind of geographical split. the left either controls the food or not in revolution of that scale and be willing to vietcong their way through bombing (again, seems unlikely).

the denial of profits is another way to starve the beast, to me seems likelier route

Logistical workers are FAR more important than vets. Ports, Railway, Bridges, Warehouses, Highways, IXP, Power Lines is where the system is most fragile.
