‘Fat’ soldiers are fired. Meanwhile, ICE is expanding their already burgeoning Meal Team Six battalions.
At least the newly unemployed soldiers will have a nice well-paying paramilitary to join, so they can keep supporting their wives and their wives’ boyfriends.
Just casually trashing the military and then being shocked when the military doesn’t support you.
One of the freedoms the American military purportedly protects is the freedom to talk shit about the American military.
Ok? So what? You’re legally allowed to buy don’t expect people to like your for it.
I was in the military, they aren’t above reproach my guy
Cool, shit talking the military is still certainly a choice if you expect them to back you up.

Fair point, I personally couldn’t care less if the U.S. Military supported me or not if I can’t exercise my free speech then I don’t think it even matters. Again that’s my personal beliefs.

They need to be held to a higher standard of behavior by the people. So they must be critiqued it is crucial in a functional democracy.

Is that what’s happen in reality? Not really, it’s very politically motivated right now.

Sure, I don’t disagree, but if you REALLY think there a Nazi, Fascist dictatorship coming into power, the military is someone you want on your side.

And the military, particularly combat arms, tends to be more conservative than liberal.

Oh Yeah, I definitely can see what you’re saying

I was trying to explain to a friend why alienation of fellow Americans is a bad move for any side that isn’t in power.

Realistically I don’t think the majority of conservatives or even maga conservatives are actually nazis or even believe in the pillars that establish fascism. I’m sure there are some, but I bet it’s less than 5% of that base.

Agreed, the rhetoric across the country has gotten out of control and I don’t see it getting better any time soon, unfortunately.
