“Thank you for your service!” /s
Come on Yankee soldiers, mutiny!
This is how you radicalize soldiers
Kinda reminds me of WWII when we had Japanese American soldiers and likely their families in camps with all of their assets seized.
awww. STOP VOLUNTEERING FOR THE MILITARY.
I’m poor and desperate. Whose hiring? System is working as intended.
So you fucking murder people?? Why join the fucking military if that is your solution, you’d do less harm in the world just stealing what you need. I’m poor and desperate, too, but I’d rather starve to death.
I get what you’re trying to say, but I just wanted to point out that not every military job is boots on the ground killing people. They also have desk jobs and maintenance people and whatnot. Military bases employ a whole lot of people who will never see combat.
People (and nations in turn) have a right to defend themselves.
Are you? Starving to death?
“volunteering”
I’m sorry? Did the draft begin?
It depends on what you mean. They don’t exactly draft Liberian diamond miners either. Poor uneducated Liberians do that because they have to.
Holy shit…
Did you just equate working in a mine for sustenance to committing war crimes for a placement in the middle class, lifetime benefits, free education, and the expectation of respect and special treatment for the rest of your life?
Yeah that is exactly what I did, and it’s even worse, because what are you even fucking talking about.
our US military is entirely voluntary, if you exclude the influence by capitalists and gov staff who direct communities to keep its people poor and desperate enough to think they can “win” by joining.
Is it really voluntary when you have no other recourse? When the circumstances of your life are so hopeless that is seems like the only option?
Work at a gas station or go murder brown people for way more money and paid education?
It’s a choice, a selfish one.
Look, I get what you’re saying, and “I was only following orders” is also a choice, and one that you should get rightfully judged for, but let’s not pretend like creating circumstances where people find themselves uneducated and without life prospects isn’t a big recruitment vector for the military.
Yeah no shit, the military gives you incentives to be a Nazi, you choosing those incentives knowing you’re doing Nazi shit still makes you a Nazi, regardless of how you end up if you don’t choose to be a Nazi.
What point are you making exactly? We don’t have to pretend like they had no other choice…
I think we’re in agreement. I don’t think there’s a contention at this point. Talking out loud about your thoughts on things with others is a constructive way to vet your own beliefs and preconceptions, when there is pushback you reevaluate. Reevaluate. It’s a word. Look!
reevaluate verb Revise or renew one’s assessment.
I wanted to say re-evaluate, but reevaluate is actually proper, and saves me a dash.
Anyway, I am glad we agree.
You can join the army or join the corps because you can’t make it here anymore.
And they’re not making it easier making it here.
If your options are to murder innocent people or to die, then lie down and get comfortable. But I have a feeling that while you are waiting, other options will occur to you.
I can respect that line of reasoning. I disagree, but I understand it.
Kind of like conscripting gang bangers and cartel members. Join us, and you’ll want for nothing. Terms and conditions apply.
“This is heartbreaking for me. I don’t know how I can mentally continue working 12+ hour days knowing that my dad is somewhere, possibly being treated like a criminal.”
My dude, they are already treating him like a criminal.
They’re treating the troops as expendable slaves, so what else is shocking.
Trump hates the troops
Trump hates.
Did you know his family name was originally Drumpf? I mean that’s not just a sound bite, that’s their original German name. Do you know what it means in German? It’s the sound that something hollow makes when you tap it.
Edit: “ein drumpf”.
Pissing off military service members is a bold move.
If they had a strong will they wouldn’t have joined an imperial army to begin with. I don’t think there’s much to worry about.
Right?! If this were any other country, we would’ve had multiple military coups forcefully removing the orange shitstain from office.
Pot, meet kettle.
Just when you think America is scraping rock bottom ethics/morality/humanity, they surprise you by going even lower.
Owners get richer,
The more people they put in,
Concentration camps
Any reason you responded in haiku?
The real question is once you recognized the format why didn’t you follow suit
You son of a bitch
That would have been a good move
What was I thinking?
🙌🙏🙏🙌
The last man on Earth sat alone in a room. They were a Redditor.
I’m suprised the military hasn’t turned on him, but I suspect they will once he crys fowl on election day once they have true justification.
Idk, I don’t have much faith left in Americans. I feel like we’ve been through “surely they’ll do something once <blank>” too many times now
No minorities in the foxhole.
