As a reminder to our troops, you swore an oath to defend the Constitution from all threats, foreign and domestic.
Right now y’all are just blindly following the domestic threat’s orders. This has cost us the lives of seven servicemembers so far in this conflict alone. They didn’t die defending our country, they didn’t die upholding US interests, they died to help distract the country from Donald Trump raping children on Epstein’s island.
You are oath-bound to put a stop to this shit. Do what’s right, not what’s easy - Trump will cast your brothers and sisters into the fire until he’s stopped.
Expecting decency from the US military is a fool’s errand. If they had a decent bone in their body they wouldn’t join the US military (besides, any such decency would’ve been beaten out of them a long time ago). There’s no reason to believe these guys have any more respect for human lives than the folks who invaded Iraq or Afghanistan, and nobody actually gives a shit about constitutions when it comes down to it.
Death to America.
Propaganda’s a hell of a drug. We’re raised under the belief that we’re surrounded by aggressors, and that military personnel are some kind of heroic defender: that joining is an act of service and altruism.
It’s bullshit, and people join for a lot of shitty reasons too, but to say there’s no decent people in the military is incorrect. Even if they’re a minority, there are people feeling the conflict between their oath and their orders: those people are potential allies, and should be encouraged to step up.
Demonizing them is counterproductive, even if encouraging them has been fruitless thus far. All we need is for a single one of them to take their oath seriously.

Except like I said nobody gives a shit about constitutions when it comes down to it. Nobody is going to risk a court martial, a dishonorable discharge or worse for the constitution. There are people willing to extend decency to those different from them and people not willing to do that, and anyone from the former group in the US military would’ve already quit after the umpteenth bombing in the Middle East.

And… why do you think encouraging them has been fruitless so far but won’t be fruitless in the future?
All we need is for a single one of them to take their oath seriously.
And do… what exactly?
Trump (whole admin) love’s the photo ops, one for each bodybag.
Wait… I thought there were more killed already
