As crazy as it sounds, I say let ICE come in and constantly harass the military. Let them take it far enough that the military is willing to shoot any ICE members they see. Hell, have ICE piss them off enough to stage a coup. Ain't no amount of police would be able to stop the military storming the white house.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 7 points 7 hours ago

Thank you for your sacrifice

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 16 points 9 hours ago

...and you fight for them. To each their own, hm?

It's really difficult to feel sad for someone who's about to go fight for the baby killing pedophile. What a huge fucking moron you have to be....

[–] Soulg@ani.social 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I assume they joined during Biden if he's new now

[–] GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] 0_o7@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

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.

[–] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 0 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

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?

[–] GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

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?

[–] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

All good then 👍

Go kill some school girls for your pedophile president.

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

You’re the reason the world is how it is

[–] GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

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

[–] mech@feddit.org 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

German instance

Knows more about getting out of the American military than me

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.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 29 points 11 hours ago

Go on, soldier. Go deploy, and fight for more of this.

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 48 points 16 hours ago

The facility where she is being held, run by GEO Group, a multibillion-dollar private prison company, has been the subject of dozens of complaints from current and former female detainees who have claimed they were denied basic medical treatment, hygiene supplies, and edible food.

Others have said they’ve faced sexual abuse and harassment and were subject to forced labor. In December, a former guard pleaded guilty in federal court to sexually abusing a Nicaraguan detainee in mid-2025.

Jfc. :(

That blue cord on his shoulder should mean this facility gets the full experience of infantry training, barrel first.

Fuck this and FUCK ICE

[–] Typotyper@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

What does the blue cord mean

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

I looked it up and it just means they are infantry.

I’m thinking the poster is insinuating they will shoot up the facility?
