I’m so glad Trump is discharging trans soldiers, at least they won’t have to die in a stupid war.
honestly yeah, if the brainwashed chud households end up shedding more blood and the sane people who know better manage to avoid it, that’s a net good for the world.
Eyes Left podcast: A Guide to Getting Out of the US Military (Now) w/ the GI Rights Hotline
It’s much easier than the Pentagon wants you to think. Whether you’re in the military or know someone who is, this is the definitive guide to walking away. And as Biden’s support for genocide spins out into new US wars across the Middle East, from the Red Sea to Iraq, now would be a good time to walk away.
Featuring special guest Maria Santelli, longtime counselor with the GI Rights Hotline, which provides secure, free and expert support to any service member who wants to leave the military.
CALL the hotline anytime at 1-877-447-4487 for advice, or visit them online at https://girightshotline.org/
Maria is Executive Director of the Center on Conscience and War: https://centeronconscience.org/ GI Rights Hotline
This was me when I was younger, unfortunately :( Doesn’t help that I was born in a one stoplight backwater town in the rural deep South, and had all those wonderful right wing “virtues” and fundamentals drilled into me.
That being said, the silver lining is that the army helped expose me to others from different walks of life. It really helped me open my mind and become a better person.
(I’m certainly not being a military apologist, just saying that it can sometimes be a good thing in some cases. If I hadn’t joined I might still be in that damn town, or near it with that old mindset)
US military apologists make me sick.

I’d rather have a million living Iraqis than you.
I’m not such a fan of this view anymorr. Many of the people who go into the military actually believe they are going to do good things for the world but are ignorant of how much evil they will be asked to do most of the time, or like the idea of being of service but can’t get into other, better forms of service because those organizations prefer those who have gone to a university or work on a volunteer basis.

This level of ignorance is not only dangerous, it’s close to inexcusable in the 21st century.
I lost 2 uncles, 1 friend to the illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I spent years finding out who dragged us into these wars which costed family members lives and friends’ lives, now I’m very pissed with the conclusion.
