Leaving analogies aside, EOD Marine seems to think it's OK for the U.S. to keep on killing people around the world for their oil (and, presumably, other resources) as long as it's the only way for the U.S. to maintain its gluttonous capitalist way of life. May those, like EOD Marine, who live by the sword of oppression die by the sword of resistance!
My main point was that people like Mike don't support the right of people who "are entirely capable of thinking and making decisions for themselves" to make a decision to join an armed group that they (Mike, et al.) consider to be the enemy. I, and other anti-imperialists, don't support the "right" of such people to join the United States military. Mike, and other supporters of U.S. imperialism, don't support the right of such people to join the armed resistance to imperialism, be it communist, Islamist or something else.
The difference is that I don't pretend that my position is based on support for the right of people who "are entirely capable of thinking and making decisions for themselves" to make any decision they choose, when that decision affects other people.
