Soldier: Already during the military service and during all these deployments, many times it just felt wrong to me. The human aspect of why do they make us behave this way toward other people, police them, tell them where to go and check them. When I finished my military service I started to think about it more actually from the moral perspective. Maybe even then during the service I thought about it, that they live under military rule that I don’t agree with. It’s not ours, we shouldn’t be there, people are like trying to live their lives and they’re not being allowed to. 

 

And I know that because of what I did. It’s not like some people abroad might think, that [we] go around killing children. But still, children are arrested and held for a whole day in the middle of a military base, like, how traumatic. And at any moment your house could get broken into, all that stuff. They’re human beings and it’s not right... It causes moral damage to us, it causes real damage to them, it leaves us stained.
