Literally no one should join the US military ever. It is always a worse thing to do than not doing it is. Hypocrisy literally does not matter, GOP hogs do not have shame or moral beliefs, they do not have principles, they are literally just ravening demons wearing human skin who subsist on suffering and death and who do not perceive material reality or remember what they had for breakfast this morning. You're not owning them by accusing them of at one point doing the less bad thing when moral consistency would suggest they should have done the more evil thing which they advocate for, because they don't care, literally no one cares. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 14 child comments replies: [+] Archangel1313@lemm.ee 1 point 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (13 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 13 child comments replies: [–] Muinteoir_Saoirse@hexbear.net 45 points 1 year ago (5 children) Maybe I'm built different but I would simply go to jail rather than participate in a genocide.

Of course they had a choice. They could choose to become violent enforcers of the empire's will, or suffer state violence a thousand times milder than what they were being asked to commit. It's not like they were being black bagged and dragged to the front to be thrown into a meatgrinder without training or equipment, like Ukraine has been doing. They were told "go and murder for our vanity, for our dominion over all things, or sit in this box for a few years" and they chose to go do violence and bring horror and death to innocent people on the other side of the world instead of sitting in a cage for a few years. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] Archangel1313@lemm.ee 1 point 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] spectre@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago They said it's 1000x milder than having your village genocided. permalink fedilink source parent [–] KnownUnknownKnower@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago Relative to being on the receiving end of Agent Orange or American helicopters permalink fedilink source parent [–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago That's what you took away. permalink fedilink source parent [–] gay_king_prince_charles@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago Draft dodging isn't as hard as you think it is.
