If it really is true, I cannot stress enough just how bad it is. Like, really really bad.
Good. It’s a farce and should be treated as such
100%
Halfway Post is a satire site. This is not true.
Is this a Fallout 4 reference?
No. An honest assessment about just how bad it is if you're troops are already THAT cynical before they even leave garrison and aren't trying to hide it. I doubt it's true though.
Do you load that with regular cannonballs?
every time they salute each other
That's how you know for sure it's fake. Soldiers in training don't salute each other. They only salute officers.
God damnit, I wanted this to be true so badly.
If it makes you feel better, it is 100% something marines would do (not the saluting). At least until higher ups started threatening
You can also tell it's fake because of common sense. But that's a rare trait these days.

It's better than 6 7 because it actually means something
It doesn't mean anything if they still commit war crimes.
Nah it just means they're willing to commit crimes against humanity for the Epstein class
Yeah but, they're committing war crimes ironically.
tally ho!
Unlike their service in Iran.
67 is fine. It took me a while to realise that.
It has exactly the same rules as The Game except you win when you hear 67. I think that's pretty nice.

it was just a shibollet, not the first, not the last
Most of the armed forces are MAGA, trust me
Maybe. Many are just dumb 20+ yos who didn't have opportunities.
My cousin was unemployed for three years after HS and wracking up college debt. He's now in the military and knowing him, he probably is sarcastically saying "For Epstein".
Satire account 😔
What gave it away?
I have trouble believing that the military can’t control recruits in training.
lol
I can tell you’ve never been in the military, then.
Oh I haven’t. But isn’t the discipline pretty strict? I mean I’m sure they get all kinds of randos enlisting, but aren’t they controlled very strictly during their training, to prepare them to follow orders well later?
I’m genuinely curious here. Feel free to educate me.
Naw, people are people no matter the situation. If you were an asshole before you join it's not like you'll just not be an asshole. You gotta make a choice to change and some people absolutely don't take that path.
And you'd be surprised what people will do knowing the consequences. Some people really just don't give a fuck lol
For example, while on restriction for getting a dui, one guy was told to clean the company commanders office. Took that as an opportunity to stand on the officers desk with a mop and cartoonishly slosh water over all his paperwork / mop the computer ect ect. He only got 30 more days of restrictions for that.
Feel free to ask me whatever if you're curious.

Oh yeah, 6 and 7. Classic generation alphas. I liked generation alphas 4 and 5, personally.
Please don’t spread misinformation without clearly marking the joke.
You take every tweet at face value? Please don't :(
Sorry generals, this isn't self referential nonsense. It's a critique on the Orange Jackass and everything he fucking stands for.
If they know this is the case, why are they willing to fight? They have guns. They can use them against the people ordering them into danger.
Probably because that guarantees their death. They'll either be killed in combat or receive the death sentence.
