Although they'll never do it, the people "fighting for this country" need to stand down and disobey orders. I'm not saying they need to run a coop but also they just shouldn't be doing any of what the current administration is telling them to do.
Dumbasses are literally getting school children killed.
Legit have 2 choices. Do the right thing or "keep following orders" like the nazi's did.

Although they’ll never do it, if the Democrats win the election they should arrest every military employee who did not refuse.

Someone post that "remember what you're fighting for" meme with a picture of Epstein in a soldier's ballistic helmet?

Imagine american soldiers dying just to protect trump and epstein from their horrendous tween rapes. What a shithole world this can be (it can also be beautiful as well, never forget that).

These authoritarian regimes have a firm grip on information. Citizens can't know

Shame on these people. They use people's lies as statistical games to make it look like they are doing a good job. Imagine hiding deaths to pump your KPIs. Gross.

IDF soldiers are conscripts and we (or at least I) hate them all the same so shrugs. Their economic opportunity doesn't trump others' lives.
AviAdi@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2d
This is actually the best point here. Russian and Israeli conscripts literally have no choice but to go to war or have the rest of their lives destroyed by refusing to serve. American military personnel all volunteer every single one of them volunteer. Therefore when Americans commit atrocities just be aware that all of these people volunteered to commit these atrocities like a bunch of fucking evil monsters!
FaceDeer@fedia.io · 11 pts · 3d
People join the Russian military for the same reasons. I see plenty of celebration of them getting killed.

Actual schizo posting. Absolutely incredible.
We don't have adequate numbers to properly calculate the number of military that still supports Trump, or would follow orders to kill Americans.
We also don't need Fed planted dipshits like you Fed-posting. Now fuck off.

Lol keep worshipping the enemy. This is how Freedom dies

Most Nazi soldiers also "had no other options". Do you give a fuck?
AviAdi@lemmy.world · -3 pts · 2d
See this guy is a typical American. Other people they don't matter as much as American lives. So when news broadcast people dead, Americans only care about how many Americans died and then these Americans also have qualifiers. For example what type of American were these Americans that died? If it doesn't fit their narrow definition of the correct type of American they don't give a fuck if they died. To this guy military lives are to be worshiped above all. They need to say thank you for your service and then you can make sure all military veterans get absolute access for every single need that they could ever care for. Because the military life matters above all else to the average American.
I bet this American cares more about military lives than actual school kids who get shot up in schools. That's how disturbing these people are

This story is not supposed to make you sad about the soldiers. It's supposed to make MAGA mad about the lies. It won't work.
