I’m just worried for the troops. The fuckers sending them are ultimately responsible, but the troops should have been warmed not to expose themselves to danger like this.
Not every body joined to carry out a fascist regimes whims, some joined before and are contracted for years. Some people have no option but the military if they want to have health care for their kids. It’s an unfortunate truth that many good people are in the military because it’s the only way to provide for their family, and a blanket fuck all military members statement shows just how ignorant and stupid you are.
Yeah… only way to have health care for your kids is to blow up other kids. The only way to provide for your family is to provide death to other families.
You cry and call others privileged who have experienced US-backed coups, invasions, sanctions as a collective punishment to starve people, to force countries that who have been taken over to put in severe austerity measures so that people work for fuck-all so that it can be exported to YOUR country for cheap!
And you?? You are crying how oppressed you are? Motherfucker you are not sleeping without a worry whether or not you would wake up after having hour home blown up. You are in fact privileged just from the fact you are living within the Empire that is the US.
Then you justify people joining the military forces that are the ones imposing these terrors onto the global south. You are one depraved and oblivious person. Listen to what the others are saying and read a fucking book for once.
Hint: You can live within the imperial core and still acknowledge your own privilege. I know I am privileged by living in a NATO(Nazi) country.
sorry you feel that way.
the us has been a terror state since at least ww2 and has terrorized people all over the world for decades. every place they entered was left in shambles and millions of people are worse off and suffering due to the usa’s actions. trump didn´t change the trajectory of american foreign politics and warmongering. america didn´t turn fascist over night. it’s only now that a president makes life worse domestically in a very blatant fashion.
after your statement you are not in the position to call someone “ignorant”
Ok and where do you live buddy? It is ignorant to act like everybody in the military is there by choice. When the choice is to let your family starve and die of preventable disease, or join the war machine do you see that as a choice? Is letting your family die an option you keep on the table? 2 of my siblings would not be here today if not for my father’s health coverage in the military. Not everybody grew up in well to do families that had options, some took the only opportunities they had and to day that’s a choice is pure ignorance. This helps your children have a choice, instead of a grave stone. And the fascist movement in USA really has taken off in the last decade, go watch a George bush talk when he was president. He sounds like a lefty by todays standards with how far the Overton window has shifted. And no I am not justifying the endless stream of “military operations” the USA has partook in, but to compare what’s going on today to what military action looked like 20 years ago is just silly.
I said bush sounds like a lefty due to how much the Overton window has shifted. Are u blind to the right wing nationalism that has taken the USA? There are other jobs in not saying that. I’m not in the military. I also don’t have health care, and when I had jobs that offered the family plans were incredibly expensive. The military is sometimes just the only way your going to get healthcare for you kids, especially if you don’t have good education or other skills. I’m a mechanic and it’s hard to get a GOOD family plan without giving half your salary for it.

What do you actually know about Korea? Vietnam? Iraq? Yugoslavia? Afghanistan? …
Only someone as privileged as a USian could say something so completely wrong.
If your trying to act like what is happening in the USA today is the same as 20 years ago I can only imagine the privelidge you must have to be so naive.
Every single one of them participate in or abet the acts of aggression, crimes, and atrocities carried out across the many conflicts the U.S. is participating and has participated in. As has been pointed out, they help facilitate the killing of civilians, many of which are impoverished.
The fact they’re joining for the benefits does not excuse them in any way.
The very last part of your last sentence is a confession.
There is something so much more nauseating, cowardly and despicable about lacing therapy language with hatred instead of just telling someone to go fuck themselves
Most people are more worried about their immediate family than strangers. But yes I do care, and fortunately it’s not a call I have had to make but I literally couldn’t have kids if I wanted to unless I joined the military today. Too bad the echo chamber here has never had to make a tough call! Maybe they could relate if they had to struggle and grow up poor.
So have I dumb ass, on both sides of US invasions. My mother is from Venezuela, and my father is ashamed of what he had to do to provide his children with a better life. That’s not what my original comment was about, I was stating that in the United States if you are poor and want health care and the opportunity to provide for you family your option is the military. Must be nice to come from a country where you have a choice, your privilege is showing.
That’s some great OpSec right there :/
Not exactly a secret that we’re deploying troops and they’re gonna be there a while
I’m just worried for the troops. The fuckers sending them are ultimately responsible, but the troops should have been warmed not to expose themselves to danger like this.
US troops are suckers and losers
Wat? Pretty sure they knew what they were getting into when they signed up for the fucking army.
they joined voluntarily. f them.

So you are familiar with the American nightmare? Why do you think so few have kids anymore.

Most join because they’re rapists and they know rape is legal for soldiers.

How many other people’s siblings aren’t there anymore because of what your father helped carry out?
Almost as if there are other jobs out there besides military. Or do those not count?
Also, the fact you think Bush sounds like a lefty further highlights your own sheer ignorance.
I said bush sounds like a lefty due to how much the Overton window has shifted. Are u blind to the right wing nationalism that has taken the USA? There are other jobs in not saying that.

Every US soldier is an evil piece of shit.

can´t add more to this. thx for saving me the headache of writing paragraphs.

I hope every US soldier returns in a box
I know that comment can only come from pain. I hope you can heal 🙏
There is something so much more nauseating, cowardly and despicable about lacing therapy language with hatred instead of just telling someone to go fuck themselves
And do you not care about the families and children in the countries they plunder and rape?
Most people are more worried about their immediate family than strangers. But yes I do care, and fortunately it’s not a call I have had to make but I literally couldn’t have kids if I wanted to unless I joined the military today. Too bad the echo chamber here has never had to make a tough call! Maybe they could relate if they had to struggle and grow up poor.
You think growing up poor would make me feel bad about them signing up to kill my family?
DEATH TO AMERICA
The “echo chamber” here includes people who lost family and friends to US invasions, f off
So have I dumb ass, on both sides of US invasions. My mother is from Venezuela, and my father is ashamed of what he had to do to provide his children with a better life.

What is opsec
Operational Security. I.e. securing information related to deployments, plans, attacks, strikes, etc etc etc.
Controlling access to any information that could be used to gain intelligence on troop/ship movements, locations, timing, etc.
For an older example, here’s a cartoon short about one Private Snafu.
