Joining the US military has a lot of benefits.
Benefits like getting to travel the world and getting assaulted wherever you go bc your country is supporting the genocide of people in the region your dumbass is stationed in.
In recently released footage a US sailor was assaulted in Turkey while on shore leave.
The locals chant "Yankee Go Home".
Joe Biden has irrevocably destroyed our standing in the world.
The US media is running with the story that this was an unprovoked assault and to deflect from the genocide in Palestine that the assailants were motivated by vague "nationalist" desires.
Only problem is that before the news broke Turkish language twitter users were already stating that this scene was due to the US military's direct involvement in the genocide of Palestinians.
Nationalist or not, it seems this assault is seen domestically as tied to Palestine.
And to be clear two sailors were identified by the locals as American service members and confronted. An additional 5 Marines and sailors were nearby and watched this scene unfold.
All US military members escaped without serious injury and local police arrested 15 locals.
Watch closely and you'll notice and young man holdimg a TGB(Youth Union of Turkey) banner.
A quick read of thier history shows that putting a white over US service members' heads is a common protest tactic for them.
They oppose Turkish membership in the EU and military cooperation with the US.
They have been protesting US involvement in the oppression of Palestinians since at least 2008.
