ASAB

Initialism of "All Soldiers Are Bastards"

Derivative of ACAB, it states that the Bastard nature of cops similarly applies to soldiers of armed forces. Where cops are state-sanctioned, jack-booted thugs employed to tamp down dissidence and disobedience domestically, soldiers are the same, except they're sent abroad to do their bastard work.
Defense Secretary: "We are the Military; We are a strong, moral, committed force for good."

Discerning Individual: "Wait, aren't you all a bunch of hired bastard killers?"

Undiscerning Mark: "Honor and thank all the brave warriors who put their lives in danger to protect our freedom!"

Discerning Individual: "Man, the military only protects State supremacy and the wealth of defense contractors and oil barons. And the grunts are just 'following orders.' ASAB, glorified murderers."
