I was thinking the same thing. Most of those animals couldn't get a woman like that to look at them sideways.
We need more community defense classes, and fast. Seriously!
Imagine locking up my wife and still thinking I’m giving my life for my country. I’m awol til she’s free and then I might not even come back
How would that help her? They would simply lock you up in Leavenworth until they feel you learned a lesson.
These people always have a wild, dramatic sense of courage in hypotheticals, never when it hits them in reality.
See, the current state of the USA.
People live with Hollywood mindset.
After 31 days, you’re not awol. The military lists you as a deserter, and now ICE is really looking for you. You get stopped by the police for even the most minor traffic infraction, you’re going to Leavenworth for a tenner at least.
Haha no, we had a boot go out for a pack of smokes and they picked him up 3 months later in a hotel in Palm Springs with two hookers. Fucker was back in morning formation with an NJP the next morning.
They spend a metric fuck ton on how to train you to do your job. They are going to get their investment back.
Haha nah that’s just a booter on vacation lol they’re too green to be given brig time. But that’s at the CO’s discretion, but three months is nothing lmao
But even COs have a time limit which to be lenient. Had a dude jump over the side of the carrier and deserted for a year. Voluntarily returned and did a month in the carrier’s brig. Deserted again and got sent to a shore brig for five years and DD’d. No matter the branch, there’s a depreciation on the fuckton invested until it’s brig time lmao
Guy we’re talking about doesn’t sound like he’s just gonna take some leave and mosey on back, nor does he seem the type to give all that much of a fuck about the inherent monetary value of their training lmao after long enough, the value is lost and then it’s brig time for some years and a double d.
Originally you said
After 31 days, you’re not awol. The military lists you as a deserter
And I said that 31 days is nothing, to which you responded
But that’s at the CO’s discretion, but three months is nothing lmao
So which is it? I was responding to your original claim that after 31 days ICE will hunt you down and give you ten years. Which is a completely silly claim on its own, the US Marshals are in charge of finding federal fugitives.
To the best of my knowledge, all personnel get dropped from their unit rolls after thirty days and then get listed as deserters.
Based on the captain’s masts of the sailors who went UA from the commands I was stationed at, time away doesn’t seem to matter as much as intent to stay gone from service, avoiding hazardous duty or some contract obligation.
I don’t see scared booters running as really counting in the same manner as the commenter we’re talking about, especially where they declare intent to be gone and staying gone until the wife’s free (and as they said, even then they might stay gone.)
Having not been an SEA nor having anything to do with JAG or MPs, I can’t say with certainty when a naval command (let alone the Army or any other branch, ftm) will notify the police as to the sm’s status as desertion.
Again, given the new nature of booters and their purpose for desertion, they’re probably going to get leniency based on their non-PO/NCO status, but that may not always be so. CO’s discretion applies here.
In short: your booter? You’re right, very probably not. A booter’s who’s made it clear that LE’s gonna have to drag ‘em back? Or commenter? After just (or possibly even less than) 31 days? If the courts martial determines based on presented evidence that ten years can be awarded and feels justified in making it happen, then yes, a tenner after (or even under) just 31 days.
People will keep watching cases like this.
Every time these Nazis abuse law abiding people, a few more law abiding people start looking for alternatives.
Just because it’s illegal to trump and his goons doesnt mean it’s morally just. I’m just saying 🤷🏻♂️
Oh I’m not speaking to the morality of deserting, only that it would make your situation immensely worse.
Your wife’s already locked up, the military knows who she is, and now you've deserted. They toss your wife into solitary (or worse) and forget about her until you decide she shouldn’t suffer, and turn yourself in. You probably will, and now you’ve just bought both of you a one-way trip to whatever hellhole the regime decides to send you both to.
All of which could’ve probably been avoided by not deserting. js
You think his wife is t already getting the worst treatment in there? She's a pretty girl and ICE are incel goons. That poor girl. Welcome to the new America, act accordingly.
However bad she has it, they can absolutely make it worse if they decide to
You are making a lot of assumptions with that though. Who's to say it isn't already as bad as it can be for her? Literally no one knows, how cool is that?!
You're focused on the wrong thing here
I don’t think I am. A soldier is gonna worry more about his loved ones being kidnapped than performing at 100%.
I'm with you on this. However I wouldn't ever be a soldier, or whatever, to start with but that's by the by.
I wouldn't actually go awol though as there'd be too much extra shit to deal with as well as trying to free the wife. I'd just stop.
Stop flying. Stop following orders. Stop everything until the wife is released.
"I'm too stressed, officer McFuckwit." And "I just can't concentrate, General Cuntface. My wife has been kidnapped by the government and people that I was honoured to protect and I am worried sick."
That's the game I'd play.
And if I ever get her back then I'd quit the whole shebang and fuck off out the country.
If the country is going to treat me and mine with such contempt and hate them, by fuck, I'm going to do the same thing back.
Dino-D-Lite.
Are you just stating a hypothetical scenario, or are you misleadingly implying this guy arrested his wife?
Because 1. he's not law enforcement, and 2.
The uncertainty has left the newlywed questioning whether his time serving the country was worth it, he said.
Hypothetical from husband pov
