I assume they joined during Biden if he's new now
He was already deployed to Europe and the Middle East in the past. Safe to say he had a whole fucking year to leave the military, but he chose to stay and protect the fascist pedophile regime.
You can’t just up and leave the military any time you’d like. You have to have a significant mental breakdown and end up in a psych ward to get out easily.
Not anytime no, but I believe this was his third tour of duty. Depends on the timing.
Right... The only option is to go kill innocent children in the name of a pedophile, smh...
Americunts and their values never cease to amaze me.
I don’t think you realize what I’m saying. You have to literally attempt suicide in order to get out of the military without waiting out your contract or removing yourself from society.
Like, they need to be able to visibly see that you have attempted to kill yourself, and even then you have to convince them that it was real.
Would you cut open your arm right now to prove a point?
No, it is you who does not understand. Why would you mutilate yourself? When you wake up in the morning, just continue sleeping and don't go. Get a new job. Hell, even some jail time is better than killing innocent children in the name of a fascist pedophile.
It seems that many Americans have this unary thinking. Like you have one and only one option, which is to obey the fascist pedophiles.
Ever heard of resistance?
I have heard of resistance. I resisted.
I was in the military, I refused to go to my deployment. They confined me to my ship until I attempted suicide.
You’re an asshole, and you don’t know as much as you think
All good then 👍
Go kill some school girls for your pedophile president.
What the fuck kind of reply is this? This guy is saying he refused to deploy and you're acting like he supports Trump...? What??
You’re the reason the world is how it is
American soldiers are killing innocent children in the name of a corrupt fascist pedophile, while Americans sit and watch. But of course it's my fault.
American wisdom right there - it's anyone's fault but mine.
I am so sorry for your inconvenience, it must be difficult when the whole world turns against you, because your country is committing atrocious war crimes and raping the world. How dare the world blame Americans for that, when their elected government is doing all the shit. /s
Blaming America is totally reasonable.
Blaming random individuals just because they happen to live there, with no consideration for what that individual has done, is nationalism. You believe you are superior just because of the nation you’re from. Thats not a good position to hold.
You can simply refuse to deploy.
No need to mutilate yourself or attempt suicide.
Just say "No, I won't go".
You'll get a letter telling you where to meet your unit. Don't go there.
Or if you're already with your unit, don't get on the plane.
Maybe you'll spend a little bit of time in a jail cell, but even that is exceedingly rare.
Most likely, you'll just be dishonorably discharged to get you and your opinions away from the other soldiers as quickly as possible. You will then have to find employment with someone who doesn't care about that.
I literally did that. I told them I wouldn’t go to Japan. They confined me to my ship until I attempted suicide.
You are not all-knowing.
It's honestly been refreshing yankistanis losing their collective minds and threatening to leave fediverse, when faced with a different opinion that isn't stroking their collective predisposition and ego.
The fragility of so called stewards of "freedom of speech", when they're out of their platforms catering to their faux supremacy.
I have yet to see anything like that...Are these Americans threatening to leave the fediverse in the room with us now?
Have things changed. I remember when you signed up for a four year enlistment.
It was never actually four years. The active duty contract is typically two to six years of active service, and then another four years of reserve afterwards. Basically, even after your active duty time is up, they can still call you back in (or just refuse to let you leave in the first place) for another four years.
It’s, or at least was, an eight year commitment with the typical active cycle 4 years but some would do 2 active 6 inactive or 6 active, 2 inactive. Education or additional active years (6/2) could bump up starting rank.
