They’re right, though. So many minorities die preventable deaths all the time and it’s normalized to an insane degree. The only reason this has really been kicking off is because now that the government feels comfortable attacking even the white people they no longer have anyone left they need to perform for it’s gloves off. This is the same violence that’s happened in the US since before it was even the US.
Why? It's true. Americans care more about two white people being killed than they do about hundreds of thousands of middle easterners. When you openly show that you value white lives five orders of magnitude higher than other lives, you're definitely looking like a Nazi.
Nah, that ain't it. It's the shit-heel comparing two dissimilar groups and generalizing an occupation they likely couldn't, and wouldn't, be able to join. What sucks about people like you is that if you've lived through a natural disaster in the US, it was likely local military who helped after the fact, or attempted to mitigate damage before it struck. But sure, it's the racism.
Gotta say, I do respect the fact that he turned around and is now standing up for the people of this nation.
He was a part of the machine, and who knows what he did while occupying Afghanistan. How many lives were lost because of him and his imperialist brothers in arms? Even so, I have respect for anyone that is out there protesting and documenting ICE’s campaign of terror.
Interesting is the idea that a lot of conservative people sign up for the military and those that stay in longer typically become less conservative. While those who just do their 2 and done are still worthless CHUDs. I don't know if it's a widespread phenomena but I've heard of a lot of spec ops guys who go in and come out being progressives at least.
I mean, the stationing of US soldiers in NATO bases in Europe is pretty much an echange program, hopefully some of them learned something from it. I for sure think there are more reasonable people in the US military than in the government. But that's a terrifyingly low bar.
The idea being that the longer they're part of the machine, the more they realise the atrocities it commits, and begin to oppose it.
For example:
You join the army, you're trained to kill, you're told the Afghani's are the enemy, you do a tour, fire a few rounds, come home, the idea of Afghani's being the enemy remains.
Versus, you do 8 tours, start to realise that they're people just like any other. Trying to live their lives, being outgunned at every turn and living in poverty while you storm over them with tanks and jets. While you yourself simultaneously are being treated like shit by COs and politicians.
I don't think that's a hard concept to grasp. It's not about virtue, it's about who opens their eyes to the reality of life and who doesn't. Being left wing doesn't automatically make you morally superior to a right wing person.
He was a part of the machine, and who knows what he did while occupying Afghanistan. How many lives were lost because of him and his imperialist brothers in arms?
Does he really, tho?
Even so, I have respect for anyone that is out there protesting and documenting ICE’s campaign of terror.
Right now this is the most important part. I have more respect for common people who've been vigilante in this movement, but more the better.
This sudden "veteran joins in" angle news are pushing seems more like propaganda to belittle grassroots movement.
I hadn’t looked at it from a propaganda point of view. Very interesting. Hopefully these videos can help influence more vets to stand up and take their oath seriously. We are in no position to pick and choose who our allies are right now.
They will kill another protestor in the streets, it is only a matter of time. And when they do, we’ll need everyone we can get.
Would you recommend as well a pistol in a 9mm and a 12 gauge shotguns as additional tools for one's use? Mostly because those seem to be more common, proliferate calibers. A rifle is not always appropriate for some situations.
5.56 is a really common round, not very expensive, and comes in AP varieties. The price is forecast to plummet when the military officially switches over to the new 6mm Sig rifles.
I bought my rifle on election day between Biden and Trump because I was worried about a second Trump term. I had a modicum of firearm familiarity at that point, knew safety and self defense primarily. Operation was general knowledge. The AR-15 platform has endless resources online on how to use it, issues you might run into, care, modifications. I don't know how great it'd be for a first time firearm owner but it was easy for me to find resources and learn. I just need more range time but I operate in Trumpistan so I get nervous.
What the hell is this comment? Do you literally need an individual video from every single veteran to believe that there are more of them out there fighting this shit? I'm legitimately confused.
"this comment" is the direct continuation of his own words "where are my veteran buddies, why are they still ok with this" so watch the video again and again until it sinks in and if you are still confused then your problem might be something else.
You don't love vets or you wouldn't vote for Republicans. Y'all cut their benefits, send them into battles, tell them to shut up, then say "I love vets." Kindly go analyze who you really are vs who you say you are.
People are naive these days, its crazy this vet thinks none of his buddys could have posibly been POS, another thing i find crazy is how many people don't realize how easy it is for evil and malignant people to pass themselves as normal.
LOL fuck that guy, a member of an organization that loots terrorizes and mass murders is not my ally. And neither are you, you are an enemy.
You must be one of these guys:
Fuck the US and your ridiculously fake 'progressives', glad it's circling the drain. Rot in hell
Are you a bot or just dense? You seriously think the problem is this guy?
There is a systemic problem with our military industrial complex, and this guy was just a cog in that wheel thats been turning for damn near a hundred years now.
he chose to be a cog in a fascist army, getting paid to join an organisation that terrorizes countless countries and mass murders millions of people.
Don't give a fuck about you minimizing or rationalizing that.
Having a standing army isn't in itself a problem. You have to have an army to defend yourself from people who want your resources and territory. Yes, ours has become problematic, but you're just missing the point and being needlessly pedantic. If you're a real person, people like you are one of the reasons we cant all unite against the dickhead billionaires who are making our lives worse.
Their military industrial complex is to blame for such powers they're facing but yankistanis will just blame you instead of the evil of their own creation.
They will never learn.
They'll still put "shitfaced kid who helped/killed babies abroad" on pedestals instead of normal people who've actually started this resistance and died defending their neighbors.
