There's a lot of freedom at first as a soldier to realize that you could put down so much evil in the world until you realize you might actually be putting evil into the world.

That’s a very cynical view. Their country is their master, if they got invaded, like Ukraine do, then them fighting for their master(or country, if you will) is fighting for freedom.

Fighting foreign enemies at home doesn’t automatically make it a “fight for freedom”. Case in point: Taliban vs USA

Uhh no shit, nuance is important.

You don’t think the Taliban were fighting for their freedom?

What were they fighting for then?

Fighting for power first and foremost, but I guess you could go and say it was for the “freedom to rule”
