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."
