The ego death required for ex military is too much for many to handle. The cognitive dissonance of believing they’re a good person and squaring that with serving in the US military which has done the most heinous shit of any country this century would break most people, easier to just hang on to the idea that you personally didnt do the most evil shit and hence they’re not that bad.

Great observation. Darkly and doubly hilarious here too because many (or perhaps even all) of post WW2 US military interventions were to enforce or expand dollar debt slavery. Darryl isn’t up for the ego death required to swallow that, at least not yet.
At 1hr12mins Darryl talks about how he read like 10,000 pages of Mises and Rothbard in his 20’s. He describes his libertarian years as naive and juvenile, that he’s “grown out of it.” Smart guy, but what a coward. https://www.youtube.com/live/e3MNVOz7qdM
