Isn't it supposed to be the job of every US soldier to disobey illegal orders. Not that it's ever worked out that way but it would be fun if for once they could actually take their oath seriously
Yeah I mean...imagine...you'd have an aircraft carrier.
Everybody listens to an aircraft carrier.
"Thank you for your service!" /s
This is how you radicalize soldiers
thats also why dictators/fascist keep thier military weak and incompetent. not paying them enough, barely sustaining them, defunding them.
But also wanting to ~~invade neighbors~~ conduct special military operations, for some reason, with that same military. O.o
The war on Iran is doing a good job weakening the US military. The funds are going to the paramilitary ICE thugs. Priority is keeping the local population under control after fucking with the mid-terms
the msm stopped reporting it too, they know its still going on unabated, because it was getting too much negative attention.
“This is heartbreaking for me. I don’t know how I can mentally continue working 12+ hour days knowing that my dad is somewhere, possibly being treated like a criminal.”
My dude, they are already treating him like a criminal.
They're treating the troops as expendable slaves, so what else is shocking.
“Having a family member in the military is not a free pass to violate our nation’s laws,” the DHS said.
I hope more people realize this and understand that by "serving" the state you are also protecting ICE.
What a great way to make your trained killers remember their oath to the Constitution to protect against its enemies, both foreign and domestic.

If only we could get people to understand that the US military has been the global "ICE" for decades.
ICE is nothing more than Imperialism turned inward.

Kinda reminds me of WWII when we had Japanese American soldiers and likely their families in camps with all of their assets seized.
Signing up to kill and die for a country that actively, openly hates you was certainly a choice.
awww. STOP VOLUNTEERING FOR THE MILITARY.

Obama's immigration policy, especially in his second term, prioritized the deportation of people with criminal records. Under Trump, only 29% of deported people had a criminal conviction. Most had no criminal record.
edit = cut and pasted from 'factually' site.
And Trump is paying billions more for ICE.
29%
No way it's that high. Unless something has drastically changed over the past six months, I think you're off by an order of magnitude. Last I looked it was closer to 2.9%

Also almost 3 times as many individuals kidnapped by ICE have died under Trump's administration than all of Obama's administration so far, the deaths are only going to increase.
I will not give a fuck about these stories until I can reliably feel like they a) didn't vote for this and b) wouldn't vote for this yet again.
The consequences of my actions are suddenly facing me, and now I don't wish for it to happen to me or my family anymore. But I still wish for it to happen to everybody else, so I'm still gonna vote for it. GoFundMe when?

Just when you think America is scraping rock bottom ethics/morality/humanity, they surprise you by going even lower.
The families of people who serve in the military should not be treated better than any other American family is, so this is not a new low, it's just the same low as usual.
