It's funny how they're simultaneously a small fringe group and at the same time a vital element of defence.

> If the US got invaded and you wanted to throw out the fascists out of the army you wouldn't have much of an army lol.

What an absurd premise. How many servicemen do you know?

> the russians are out they can go back to making less than 5% of votes

Right, because there is no way they would draw more support after being lionized as heros.

In any country a certain part of the population holds extreme views. If the military represents more or less the population then by necessity it will contain some fascists etc. If anything, you would not expect many vegans or non-violence activists in the military, but you would certainly expect to see those people that love power, weapons and the language of force, which correlates quite strongly with fascist views.

Op did not claim that the whole military is fascist.

They're near the border so obviously they can be seen as vital. They also were preparing for years.

If you're willingly getting a job that entails killing brown people overseas for no legitimate reason you're kind of a fascist :) If you voted for trump you're kind of a fascist.

Like I said, I don't think this is the time to think about this, if your city was getting destroyed by a foreign invader, would you really care who's fighting the invaders? If they committed crimes they can be dealt with later once Ukraine assured its survival.
