Doesn’t help that the US military are saying the recent war in Iran is to start a holy war and bring about the apocalypse. A death cult with nukes that want to take as many of us with them as they can. How is this being swept aside like every other “end of the world” theory? They’re actively orchestrating it.

Sure, but were they speaking officially on behalf of the U.S. military, or were they just expressing their own (distressingly commonly held) view?

When are military personel not talking officially? …have you seen Sen. Kelly prosecution by trump-hegseth-dptOfWar, they claim retired military personel do not have free speech, aka they are always bound to speak officially. So, I ask again, when are military personel not talking officially?

When are military personel not talking officially?

When they are sharing their own viewpoint and not the official viewpoint of the military as an organizational whole.

…have you seen Sen. Kelly prosecution by trump-hegseth-dptOfWar, they claim retired military personel do not have free speech, aka they are always bound to speak officially.

Actually, what they are trying to charge him for is sedition for encouraging troops to disobey orders, which is even worse (nonsense) than charging him merely for speaking unofficially.
