The charging documents, which were reviewed by MS NOW, show that the sailor has been accused of violating Article 83 for “malingering,” which is defined as a service member “intentionally faking an illness or hurting themselves to avoid work, duty or service,” and Article 86 for “absence without leave,” which means a service member failed to be at their required place of duty without proper authority.
So a woman being raped is part of military duty, and now mental health is faking illness
where’s the fucking mutiny?
all they want to fight against is unarmed brown people. cowards.
Mutiny would be kind of pointless, is the thing. What are they going to do, join the IRGC?
I mean, that’d be rad as hell, but realistically mutiny would basically just result in everyone getting dishonorably discharged.
isn’t that a step above getting pushed to suicide in the suicide boat?
That was just one guy. It’s not like they all jumped off with him.
Most of them knew they could just tough it out, and they were right, now they’re out of there and on their way home.
there was that woman who was sexually assaulted too. and that’s just off the top of my head recently, it does seem like it’s some sort of shitty in there. they are having trouble selling this war to citizens and boots alike on top of that.
I mean honestly I saw the toilets they were complaining about, and they didn’t look any worse than some toilets that I’ve seen in squats or something. I think just being stuck with thousands of people in a tin box must produce some kind of insane cabin fever.
especially during a war, yeah.
Yeah sounds horrible, but meh why the fuck would you join the US Military.
Not to point out the obvious, but, do you think any of the men onboard actually cared about that?
i’d assume most didn’t, esp. in the military and stuff. does point to a few trends in there that can be destabilizing, though.
or are, who knows what they manage to keep off from the wider public.
Enlistment is down and stories like this don’t help.
What are they going to do, join the IRGC?
Yes
Ojalá
I mean delivering an aircraft carrier to Iran would be very very based.
This is some “Christian nationalist” bull shit. Killing yourself is a sin. That’s why you get punished.
