Even if it passes, this administration and its brown shirts don't give a flying fuck about the law. They'll ignore it, it won't be enforced, Dems will write more angry letters, rinse and repeat.
Exit polls shows Gen Z, males especially, leaned disproportionately to Trump, so I'm guessing the previous poster is referring to the Trump campaign's strategy of taking advantage of impressionable boys.
...which is another one of those 'history rhymes' things.
It's the fried ones that are the problem: crispy = sharp edges = torn bowel = septic shock = dead.
The fresh ones with the squishy exterior should feel much more like a penis going into your ass. Choose the sauce carefully - your entire GI tract has receptors sensitive to spiciness.
They did sign up to defend the constitution from all domestic threats - the oath they took doesn't say "unless it's the president" so if y'all could do your fucking job please, that'd be outstanding.
Oh I'd have been banned as fuck with all the shit that's happened since then. Pro Luigi? Ban. Anti-genocide? Ban. Pointing out that Trump has made himself a valid military target to our own military by making himself a domestic enemy to our constitution? Ban.
We getting into strawman shit, or are you just not paying attention? The suicidal shit came before the military, not because of it. I've got plenty of real faults if you want to make a dig at any of them - no need to make shit up.
You're missing the point - not everyone has the privilege to consider the cause.
Even now as a civilian in healthcare, which sounds infinitely more benign, I'm stuck working for a different flavor of orphan grinding machine in exchange for a paycheck. ...but does that mean I should personalize the evil shit this industry does, like refuse care if someone's too poor, or do provide care but financially ruin them in the process? I'm a surgical tech, soon-to-be nurse: I can't control any of that shit. Should I quit in protest? Cuz that won't change anything outside of severely reducing the quality of my own life.
Same is true of the military: you milk a living out of a shitty system. Are there other options? Sure, but the vast majority of those are shitty too.
I left "I'm a fucking idiot" in there for a reason. Had I played my cards better in the first place I wouldn't have been stuck weighing whether I should kill myself or put myself into that kind of ethical disaster... which probably would have ended with killing myself anyway.
Lucky for me, they made me a medic, so I never had to find out.
Everything he does makes a lot more sense when you consider that he's an enemy of the US actively trying to do as much damage to our country as possible. Attacking Iran is no exception - the following retaliation and economic shitstorm are the point.
Veteran here. It's more like: "I'm a fucking idiot, but I could use some healthcare, and that college thing sounds nice."
Plan B was to kill myself, so I don't feel bad about enlisting - I got what I needed from it.
You'd be amazed how few people join because of cliches like patriotism. That said, it'd be way less fucked if people could get things like healthcare and education without needing to agree to blow themselves or others up.
Bombs and bullets do be the cure for Nazism.
