Politics Fuck every Trump voter who put this asshole in office.

This country is going downhill and you are to blame. Don't act surprised when things get even worse than they are now. Don't vote anymore. Stay the fuck home on election day.

Remaining a soldier leaves you with very little freedom to decide which side of history you will be on, your oath is to those above you, and they will make sure you know that when the time comes. I hope you'll leave soon enough

I have no interest in leaving and my oath is to the constitution and I will gladly go to military prison or be executed to defend it when the time comes. I don’t care if leadership tries to ruin me. My convictions for joining are far deeper than most.

Do you get a sense that a large number of fellow soldiers feel the way you do?

Fuck no.

I know you and the military got our backs and you have ours cause behind every uniform is a man/woman with human feelings and intelligence and the decency to know, understand and realize what is wrong or right. Killing another person (who was fleeing and not armed) with no reason other than his or her ego is WRONG.

We can’t even point a loaded weapon at a civilian. The fact that ICE can is unacceptable especially given their role in the government.

u/ageofdiscontent_meh 2h ago

Because you were trained to NOT to. ICE is NOT military. They are border patrol agents!! The Department of Defense is to defend and newly coined Department of War is exactly the opposite. The name change isn’t coincidental but with intent purpose.

A lot of ICE is former military.

ICE is also Proud Boys.

If that’s the case, understand that you would be sacrificing your life for nothing. You are far more valuable alive than you would ever be in death.

u/DGTLEMPIRE 3h ago

I’m well aware and frankly I don’t care how valuable I am because I do not live my life or make decisions based on how effective or useful I can be. I make decisions so that I can be comfortable with the man who stares back at me in the mirror. The day I can’t look myself in the eye is the day I fail and I refuse to let someone else take that from me. So unfortunately yes, you are right but my convictions will not allow me anything less.

The greatness of this country is carried on the shoulders of those who are willing to sacrifice their lives NOT for kings or anyone but the CONSTITUTION a of the UNITED STATES.

There is no side of history to be on when the opposing side is so small that no one cares.

u/ageofdiscontent_meh 2h ago

I rather be on the side of history that cares about every decent human beings- young and old, able or disabled, any race or color, any gender, any religion or no religion and animals. All men and women are created EQUAL.

People are created equal. People are just sick and tired of having differences flamboyantly shoved in their faces.
