Am I allowed to maliciously editorialize here?
Active‑duty and reserve U.S. military personnel are expressing deepening disillusionment with President Donald Trump’s strategy in the war against Iran, fearing they are being treated as “political pawns”
My siblings in Christ, what do you think armed forces are?
“We don’t want to die for Israel.”
Your president, your senator, your congressman, your church, and of course Israel want you to die for Israel. So it’s time to die for Israel.
That is quite literally all you signed up for
That’s precisely what they were signing up for, but if they don’t like it then they should probably reach out to an attorney regarding this illegal war.
Unfortunately war crime law doesn’t work like that. While “just following orders” isn’t an excuse for individual war crimes, it is for participating in an illegal war, so courts don’t allow challenges to deployment on those grounds.
Me thinks Trump needs to prove imminent threat to bypass congressional approval, especially with Trump’s own officials’ statements directly contradicting that.
If you’re going to die for a bunch of perverts you might as well frag the CO on your way out right?
At least they’re finally realizing the true reason of their service, they should have from the beginning.
Nah, I was young and dumb, but also kind of observant (I was busy with work, school, parenting), and almost signed up myself. But I chose to do something else instead, for reasons.
I guess they’ve never heard of chess.
I could’ve maybe accepted excuses years ago but not anymore. They are fighting for the pedophile class.
Yes you did
dude you literally signed to be a political pawn, that’s exactly your job.
Fragging is always an option :)
I do wonder what the actual sabotage capability of any uber-Tuckerbrained little Hitlers running around in those cybernetic & enginnering intensive environments is. Dunno where to start. I guess exmil weirdos on Telegram but they fucking LOVE lying too much. Plus CIA bait
