Asking for a friend. How the hell can Non Danish/non EU folks help or contribute if or when that friend was a military person in a past career?

[–] TehPers@beehaw.org 4 points 2 weeks ago

If your "friend" does not currently serve for a relevant military, then their battle may be best spent at home for now.

For a US person, the obvious answer would be protesting, reaching out to representatives, and advocating against more unnecessary violence. For non-US, the first two don't have the same effect, though your country could politically pressure Trump via threats of sanctions or such.

If they request volunteers and your "friend" can do that, then that's how they can use their experience, assuming they want to of course and understand potential consequences of doing so if their government doesn't approve of it.
