#TrollAlert -- First of all, many US soldiers enlisted BEFORE #Trump took office. Secondly of all, they can't just leave like you can most other situations. Thirdly of all, being a soldier is not a volunteer position; most people enlist b/c they need a job. Fourthly of all, some of the best voices against #Iraq and #Vietnam came from people who fought in those conflicts and came to realize the horrors of war. People like you are why Democrats lose elections. https://beige.party/@Black_Flag/116353983074321627

@[email protected] An active member of the American military is NOT "our friends and neighbors".

Today it's generally selectively enforced for a number of

@yacc143 @azterlights @RealJournalism I’m not talking about the Rome statute, to which the US is not a signatory, but the American Service-Members’ Protection Act (ASPA) which includes a stupid paragraph about the US being able to use whatever means to “liberate” US officials from the ICC. Which IMO is worse than selective enforcement. The US invading the Netherlands? Formerly unthinkable. Today, not really 😖

#TrollAlert -- I'll post whatever I freaking well want to. First of all, The Conversation doesn't care; secondly of all, I would have thought amplifying important important information would have been useful.
