The press release sure seems like the Marines are warning their latest class of recruits that their family members could get kidnapped at their graduation ceremony.

Like what does that even mean? Who to their left supports ICE? Is this a normie perceiving the corporate dems as "left"?

Also I wanted to point out how the fuckin r/military subreddit of all things is less right wing than 90% of the shithole Asmongold adjacent instances on lemmy

Well, they're a US army veteran so odds are they weren't very bright to begin with.

But probably because they heard somewhere that Obama expanded ICE and deported more people than Bush, and Obama = left, therefore there must be ICE supporters on the left. Most generous train of thought I can come up with.

it's the lesser evil "I would personally slit the throat of a child if I knew with 100% certainty it would create 50,000 more Kamala votes in Michigan" types who are still living in the 2016 results, where margins were thin enough you could pretty much invent any kind of self-contradictory leftist you like, assume pretty confidently at least few thousand of them exist in each swing state, and blame the loss on them.

More importantly fuck everyone to our left and right who support this shit

Scum fucks acting like they weren't perfectly fine with all this when it was already happening to brown people and kept under wraps during Democrat presidencies. I hope Iran takes no prisoners

100% I will be laughing my ass off at the inevitable scores of dead US soldiers if they try to take any of those Islands or funnier still do a land invasion of Iran mainland.

The sanctimonious films Hollywood will churn out will make the cultural output after 9/11 look tame

They're gonna give these marine massacres the same tempo as a 9/11 and school shooter movie

Summer 2027. Mark Wahlberg is Gunnery Sargent Horben "Boston" O'Dongfwulderssun. One family man defends an island against 144,000 persian cannibal terrorists to keep the fuel flowing so his 11 month old daughter can get a heart transplant back home, because without oil, American hospitals close.

Alone, outnumbered, outclassed, and oversexed, "Boston" fights off the worst of the worst and sacrifices himself while preserving the vital flow of resources for his family.

Hollywood is just remake the US Grenada invasion movie Heartbreak Ridge, but also still cast Clint Eastwood somehow. Either that or pretend it never happened like the Korean War

Yeah it's just funny seeing some "centrist" boot referring to fascist lite Democrats as "the left".
