They deserve even worse. Don't advocate for feeding the Epstein soldiers.
I will guarantee that you would not volunteer to go to jail and be sentenced to hard labor for your view on this. Lotta keyboard warriors that will defend a lot of people doing things to feed their family and escape poverty unless they are the US military specifically.
No, I fucking would. I have a spine that prevents me from voluntarily going to mass murder innocent Arabs.
Yes, how dare I condemn people taking money from the imperial core to murder Afgani, Iraqi, and now Iranian kids. THESE AMERICAN SOLDIERS ARE JUST TRYING TO FEED THEIR FAMILYY
Cool, you can also go head and do something to stand up for your ideals that results in jail time. If what you are actually going to do is bitch behind a keyboard and pay your taxes, you are doing the same thing most people in the military do. At any given time 99% of the military is also bitching and doing nothing.
I'm not American. Your shit ass country will be invading mine in the near future. Frag your officer.
Oh I’m not in anymore, fuck Trump and injuries got me retired. Yeah, this country does suck. I’m going to put the blame on the people that control both the military and the size of the population in poverty though.
I'm going to put the blame on people like you pulling the trigger. Just following orders hasn't been a valid excuse since 1945.
How many people were tried at Nuremberg?
Not enough.
Holy hell, a clean wehrmachter in the wild in 2026.
It's pretty silly to claim that most of the German military had nothing to do with, for example, the Lebensraum, which included such things as the invasion of the USSR.
What were the causes of the injuries, I wonder.
A combo of lifting equipment without proper gear because the military wants you to do things now rather than take longer to get personal safety equipment and mental health from working in one of the most stressful fields in the US military. Like I said, the majority of my 5000 coworkers and I never saw an enemy combatant except maybe the pilots.
Hope you regret joining the genocidaire gang.
You are saying that as if combat is the only bad thing your empire does.
Notably, an Abu Ghraib torturer didn't have to see any combatants, either.
So, were you paid to do nothing, or were you paid to contribute to the most vile military in the world? In the latter case, did you engage in sabotage against your military, or did you do what the military estimated would be the best for it that you do?
I don’t think you know what everyone or really what most people in a modern military do. Anything I would sabotage that would satisfy you would kill a few hundred and affect hundreds of thousands due to nuclear fallout. But as I will continue to say, go do something if you feel so strongly others should.
Do you claim that your military was not involved in the invasions of Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Iran, Palestine, as well as many other places? Or do you concede that I do, in fact, know what your military has been doing?
So, you couldn't even openly refuse to follow orders from a military that is engaged in a genocide? You couldn't leak any information to your empire's victims? You couldn't assault your officers or other thugs? Nothing?
This piece of shit coward is projecting his own insecurities on others by calling them cowards for not signing up for the poverty draft. Fuck him.
If you were working for the most vile military in the world and did not engage in sabotage, you at minimum contributed by freeing some other monster from doing your task instead of directly participating in an invasion.
Brother, go do something to stand up for your beliefs if you feel so strongly.
I am already doing more than you by not signing up to torture children in the Global South
That is actually still doing nothing and I’ve never seen someone the US would say is an enemy combatant let alone kill them.
You are saying this as if combat is the only bad thing your empire does, as if colonial subjugation, kidnapping, torture, and the like are not, and as of things like military logistics are not done in service of those goals.
“Russian soldiers are just doing things to feed their family and escape poverty.”
lol demonizing Russian conscripts that they had to start putting trigger guards on so they couldn’t kickstart their rifle through their skull. Good example. The poor are the pawns of the oligarchs and the despots. You and I are lucky enough to fuck around and have this chat.
The fucking nerve of you calling people who wouldn't sign up to murder children on the other side of the planet for a paycheck cowards is fucking disgusting.
You should really be ashamed of yourself and your country.
Do something that puts you in jail or poverty for your beliefs. You won’t, because you are also all talk.
Most of the USian military is from well-off backgrounds and none are forced to join.
Also, do you support the countries that these people invade to lethally incapacitate these supposedly-desperate soldiers?
Go ahead and show anything that says people who join the US military are well off. I believe the US is and has been involved in conflicts they should not have been since WWII where casualties should be expected but were unnecessary to even be there in the first place. I understand why what the US calls terrorist organizations exist and why US actions are a self-fulfilling cycle of creating more destruction and more adversaries. I support other nations in their right to defend themselves from said unnecessary action and blame the people that actually send people off to die for nothing.
Can't do that right this moment, but what income quantiles do you think are the most represented in the USian genocide machine?
They target poor people for recruitment
