“To all those who are not yet deployed: Now is the time to resist.” At a Chicago rally on Saturday, veteran Daniel Lakemacher urges U.S. soldiers to “refuse this illegal and immoral war” on Iran. The rally was part of a “Stop the War on Iran!” national day of action.
The U.S.-Israeli war on Iran has so far reportedly killed over 1,300 Iranian civilians

Send over EVERY SINGLE fucking ICE cosplay cuck into war. Fuck them to hell.
kurvarVillain
My fear for the future, realized, is that all the people from ICE raids are deployed to the front lines with tank mines strapped to their chests... Just like the russians did in ukraine.

are they listing orders that are illegal they should be ignoring?

Military personnel, it was Republicans & Trump who closed the VA hotline, closed 56 regional offices, slashed close to 30,000 with 89,000 total targeted. Don't get injured or maimed you will get minimum to no help and care. Do not obey an illegal order.

Everyone in charge in the military is a daft cunt, and yet, you still have to follow their orders.

Under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), Article 92, service members must obey lawful orders. Failure to obey a lawful order can lead to serious punishment, including court-martial.
But there is a key qualifier: the order must be lawful. If an order is manifestly illegal, service members not only may refuse it — they have a duty to do so. Obeying an illegal order can expose a service member to criminal liability.

Offering bonuses to join an illegal war. Gee, where have I heard that before. I think it was some country starting with Ru or something.

RuSA? During the Iraq war?

When free healthcare, and the GI Bill can’t get your organization staffed your organization may have a management problem.

Then it moved to forcing people to go to war. Along with the worst criminals.

That's what the second's for...

Man, I wish civilians understood how fucked the military is. You join to defend the country as a young, ignorant kid, but you're used to push political and personal agendas. Speak/act out and you'll be a felon with a dishonorable discharge and stripped benefits. Your only hope is to be a Conscientious Objector (good bye career aspirations). They can still deploy you into a war zone as a noncombatant (driver, chef, etc.).
It's unbelievably fucked. So glad I got out.

when I joined, dont ask dont tell was still in place, so my thought was I could become gay and get kicked out. repealed while I was in, and also they wouldn't have kicked me out anyway lol.

I am so glad I never joined.

Thank you for saying this. It's easy for people to say "Refuse Orders". The moment you do, your whole world comes crashing down. Prison, no rank, and no pay.
MadamPuddifoot
Some of us knew that when we were young. Poor boys and girls fighting a rich man's wars. Glad you got out. Hope you're doing well. Thank you for putting your life on the line.
BlueValentine99
Oh, we understand it. More than you might think. And it's never mattered whether you spoke out or not, your benefits are going to be stripped and President Epstein isn't going to pay.
GloveFullaVaseline
Yeah. It's fucked. Our soldiers have never had it good. It's like prison.

My partner's best friend is trying really hard to get out right now, and not having an easy time of it. Shit's tough, yo.
