A comic doesn’t show individuals, it shows a vision of the world. If I draw 1000 nice soldiers, it’s not a 1000 individuals, I’m pushing the vibe that soldiers are nice.
But the nice ones are the exception, so if you specifically show nice ones (is it possi le to be nice while killing people?), it is a choice to represent reality as such.
Things like that convey a message, and let’s face it, I doubt that the author of this comic is anti-military.
You can say that murder is bad. You can also say that it is necessary.
Allowing murder to be good is allowing opinions to shift reality, and this is how people supporting Trump can think that murder is generally wrong, but murdering trans or black people or leftists is acceptable. Once you start making exceptions based on opinions, everything unfolds.

It is possible to be nice and kill people. Killing people stopped the nazis and freed slaves. Violence is not inherently good or bad its just a tool.
The US military finished killing Nazis in 1945. So that’s a good 80 years they’ve spent killing for evil.
