Irans kids.
Brutal. 😢
I will never understand people who not only actively support the military and soldiers, but want to become a soldier by their own free will…
People are heavily propagandized to from a very young age. For example, GI Joe. Hundreds of other examples as well. They want to shape kids that think of the military as good and benevolent.
When I was a kid, I thought this line was a joke
I don’t have kids, but if I did, I sure as fuck wouldn’t raise them to join the military. I saw though that shit after 9/11.
The real joke is the folks reaction
I have to keep saying this, and I apologize for the repetitiveness, but Republicans can stop all of this at any time. They can fire him, reign him in, anything to stop this.
Yep. But they won’t. Go to the conservative subreddit. They are fucking LOVING it.
Those conservative subs are 80% bots. Of course, the 20% that aren’t bots are being swayed by it.
That is very true.
What’s a subreddit?
😂
You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. You must be cautious.
Eww, friends I know it’s ok to say fuck on the internet, but some words are just yucky to read, you feel me?
lol
Nobody knows for sure. There are many rumors though.
Honestly I like this take. Keep saying it. Better than every other moron coming in asking Democrats to do something.
The one small consolation is that we don’t have a military draft, and most young people who pursue the military have a family with military service background. However, the other largest cohort are young people with no family support structures at all, so they give their lives to the war machine to try to do things like get an education.
Still, people choosing to enter military service is way down and more US citizens than ever fail to meet the fitness standards and requirements.
So, it’s not really “your kids” unless you chose to push them to military service or were such a bad/absent/dead parent that they had few other choices.
Now, if they try re-instating the draft, than this meme will be a lot more accurate.
This of course is not meant to minimize how insane this push for war is, nor how damaging it will be to those who are in military service, for whom this meme is very accurate.
There is a draft. Every man in the country is signed up for it. They just haven’t used it since Vietnam.
You make it sound automatic. No, they make you sign yourself up for it. Just to rub it in “we own you,” I guess?
It is automatic. As Vietnam proves. People shipped against their will to die in a meaningless war of agression. You are state property, you’re just taking care of it until they need it.
I work with 100% veterans and active duty. I have thousands of clients, all veterans or active duty.
The vast majority of people do not join because of family tradition. The vast majority join for the absolutely insane benefits that come along with service.
Many of them also join because it is basically their only/best option.
I won’t dispute your lived experience, I just know that I have read about families with prior military service being more likely to have children who similarly prioritize service. Thanks for being a support for them.
my experience is similar to MTZ’s. the family tradition may be there, but the benefit structure is why they join.
What about Iranian children? Furthermore,would you guys (who by the way elected that thing as your president) trade the fate of your children for theirs?
Fixed it for you.
Losers and suckers, according to commander bonespurs. Why not abuse if you have them?
Netanyahu’s sons did serve in the Israeli military, although how much danger they were actually in is unknown to me, and Netanyahu himself has extensive combat experience.
They’re not going into this war is the point.
