Look at the lines of Military families having to stand in line to receive food. Federal workers and the military aren’t getting paid because of the MAGA shutdown which happened because Republicans are afraid the Epstein files will get released.

Will they still follow treason orders?

Do you think the kind of person that enlisted after 2016 would refuse?

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 2 points 3 days ago

I'm not sure we can generalize about people who enlisted after 2016, but is there a point to that cutoff? A lot of people have been in the military since before 2016.

[–] Vorticity@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

People enlist for a variety of reasons. I don't think that who the current president is typically has much impact on those decisions.

Of course they will. Looking to the security industrial complex for salvation is extremely foolish. These people are there because this is what they want.
