Sweet irony! So both are trapped in the squalid conditions of federal detention?

    Just like most in the US too. Poor/deadly food hygiene, bad water, crippling medical expenses, international pariahs, intellectually challenged who only gain from those coming into the country to take advantage of unequal tax breaks that purposely keep the companies winning and the destitute down.

    Yeah but you're not going to get shot at for leaving... In fact leaving is a very easy and simple thing to do if you can let go of your low quality comfort zone.

    Leaving is physically easy but mentally challenging for many, especially those who haven't been taught how to think critically and fed propaganda since birth to think that nowhere better exists. They're in a prison of their own mind. That's the true federal detention.

    stories like this warrant a community called "everything about this is a trainwreck", or something along those lines.

    Do they want a mutiny? Because that’s how you get a mutiny.

    Obviously I’m not gonna hold my breath at this point but if this sort of shit happens to enough deployed/active duty military people I wouldn’t be surprised if we get some mutinies
