No fucking way I'm ever taking orders from someone who doesn't think for them self.

After watching Russian soldiers getting blown to bits by drones for the last 3-4 years, I am good on ever joining the army.

They can recruit those gen-z maga true believers focused on looksmaxxing though. Army uniform looks cool. Makes you Chad.

A very small part of me fantasizes about being forced to fight and surprising everybody with my drone/quad skills.

The american urge to kill brown people

[–] venusaur@lemmy.world 0 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Pretty sure Russian people aren’t brown

[–] winkerjadams@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 26 minutes ago

Are there lots of Russian people in iran?

we should stomp that small part of you until the big part of you dies

[–] venusaur@lemmy.world -1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Are you saying you want to kill me?

[–] 17jGuFCOn89iY@lemmy.world 1 points 24 minutes ago

Aren’t you saying you want to kill other people while showing off your drone skills?

[–] SoloCritical@lemmy.world 22 points 7 hours ago (5 children)

If they’re that hard up for soldiers I vote we send ICE over to do the fighting for us.

[–] asdasd201@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

But who's going to oppress the PoC and lefties if ICE leaves?

[–] mathemachristian@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

If the Wehrmacht is lacking we should send in the SS

Do you not listen to yourself or? Look up Volkssturm to see whats coming

[–] SoloCritical@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Okay? Soooooo don’t send ICE?

[–] mathemachristian@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Yeeees stop murdering altogether

[–] SoloCritical@lemmy.world -1 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

While a great sentiment, it’s unbelievably unrealistic. There will always be things people will die for. Likewise, there will always be things people will kill for.

[–] mathemachristian@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Yankees bombing schoolchildren is not just "a fact of life" good lord. Your army is the single most murderous force in the last 100 years or so. Death to Amerikkka.

[–] SoloCritical@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 59 minutes ago)

It doesn’t matter what country we’re talking about. People on a fundamental level will never stop killing eachother. Downvote me all you like. It will never stop. We will always find some reason to kill other people. Whether they’re poor, or a different color than us, or because your government tells you they’re a threat to you, or whether they’re building bombs to use on you, or they’re raping and pillaging your home. You act like there’s some magic light switch you can just flip and turn off all the violence. It must be nice to live in fairytale land. You yourself are a contradiction to yourself “oh stop all murder! Except amerikkka! Kill all Americans!”

We should start getting rid of the people who actively want that. Dangerous line of thinking i guess, but nobody can tell me that the wold wouldnt be net positive for removing trump, putin, xi, weidel, etc.

Edit: counts for everyone next in line as well so long as they try to keep the idiology/insanity up

[–] Dead_or_Alive@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I mean they have a larger budget than the Marine’s… What could go wrong?

[–] SoloCritical@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

Literally nothing. That’s why I suggested it haha.

[–] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz 4 points 6 hours ago

Hear me out, we could just send them over and leave them there with no weapons and no ports... de-port them, if you will.

[–] venusaur@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Let them fully live out their COD fantasies

Does this mean Eric Trump will sign up and lead the charge onto Karg Island?

[–] SpicyLizards@reddthat.com 7 points 8 hours ago

So you need a harder drug to get kicked out

[–] N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 22 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Raised from 35 to 42, which is a big jump. At 35, the physical downward spiral is just beginning. At 42, it is typically well underway, especially in the U.S., where obesity runs rampant. They must be anticipating a slog similar to that when Russia invaded Ukraine.

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago

Not just in Iran, Lindsey Graham seems to think we're also gonna invade Cuba, probably parts of Latin America, and who knows, maybe Canada or Mexico to top it off. Multi-front wars aren't a bad idea right? We have the logistics to fight two separate long-term wars, so what's a third or a fifth?

[–] PowerCrazy@lemmy.ml 6 points 8 hours ago (5 children)

TIL I could still join the army if I were so inclined.

[–] deacon@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

I am having a surprisingly complex mix of feelings about being too old even for the revised age.
