The Marine Corps drafted for about a year due to heavy combat losses. We got a guy in platoon who was anti-war and even expressed the view that America was the bad guy.
His first night ambush made contact. He discovered that in war it's not about good guys and bad guys. It's about our guys and their guys, and he was a Marine, like it or not.
I'm certain that the enemy had people I would have liked if we had met someplace other than war. That is the problem I see with allowing ourselves the us vs them as an enemy where we cannot allow ourselves any thought of humanity in them.
There are things to agree or disagree with on both sides of the political divide, but once we have demonized them we are effectively at war.
Jim Webb, a life long Democrat who's failed run for POTUS said that the party had moved away from the values he associated with it. Tulsi Gabbard just said the same. The party has been taken over by people that neither you or I associate with liberalism. Painful to see when their opposition does not represent what you hold dear. The devil sometimes speaks truth, but you don't need to join his legions to acknowledge it.
