“The sentiment across the board right now is that deploying military force against our own communities isn’t the kind of national security we signed up for,”

"I signed up to murder foreign communities, not my own!"

Eat dirt, scum

they felt like pawns in a political game and assignment was not necessary

That’s true of all U.S military assignments.

signed up to shoot foreigners and get a camaro, upset they're getting no camaro and bottles of piss thrown at them instead

Aww, did somebawdy find out they're Storm Twoopers?

Now you feel like a pawn? What the fuck did these dumbasses think a soldier was? For that matter what did they think that the actual pawn in actual chess was meant to represent?

Make Fragging Great Again

“The sentiment across the board right now is that deploying military force against our own communities isn’t the kind of national security we signed up for,”

lmao get fucked

i mean legit if the military is just exclusively deployed to do stuff like this in the U.S. (doubtful with the Iran war possibly coming) we might actually see a lib Carnation Revolution at some point

no foreigners to murder, just being stuck in terrible conditions while a whole city of treats is just out of reach. it's like being home but not. and I know there are plenty of psychos who want nothing more then to die mothafucker die a .50 cal into a packed crowd of liberal boomers but we aren't quite the Imperium of Man yet and i can't imagine murdering their own neighbors (only to return to a cold floor) will go over well with the majority

either way, fragging is a thing. and more regretful, anti-imperialist former troops (that renounce their former career) with training and skills can't hurt a nascent leftist movement

still following orders though

Oh, well, too bad they are enslaved and can't voluntarily leave this job and work at a school or grocery store to avoid having to oppress their own countrymen against their will. Such a shame, but at least they still get their fat checks and social benefits!

So do something about it

Do any of these folks even know who Smedley Butler is? A military parade in DC is just such a fertile opportunity.

Related, if anyone here ever encounters any military people who might want out, point them here: https://girightshotline.org/

This group can coach and help them so they can find a way to leave without having their life ruined by their superiors.

thats what joining the military IS

being a pawn in the chess game!

... feel like a pawn...

Well then... pawns can take out kings. Do something funny.

I guess crayon eaters are realizing they aren't in some foreign country shooting the inhabitants at will, also being nothing but a statistical data point.

if you complain but do nothing you prove you are indeed just a bunch of losers and suckers

surely there is someone out there who thinks the soldiers were given money therefor this is good for the economy?????

Demoralizing your soldiers is the sure firest way to end up in a coup situation.

So for sheer humor I keep Trump keeps doing it.

Do they not know that they are literally pawns?

Glad to hear it
