Active Duty U.S. Personnel: We Didn't Sign Up To Be 'Political Pawns' - Lemmy

Am I allowed to maliciously editorialize here?

That’s precisely what they were signing up for, but if they don’t like it then they should probably reach out to an attorney regarding this illegal war.
Unfortunately war crime law doesn’t work like that. While “just following orders” isn’t an excuse for individual war crimes, it is for participating in an illegal war, so courts don’t allow challenges to deployment on those grounds.
Me thinks Trump needs to prove imminent threat to bypass confessional approval, especially with Trump’s own officials’ statements directly contradicting that.
If you’re going to die for a bunch of perverts you might as well frag the CO on your way out right?
