Come on Yankee soldiers, mutiny!
Isn't it supposed to be the job of every US soldier to disobey illegal orders. Not that it's ever worked out that way but it would be fun if for once they could actually take their oath seriously
Yeah I mean...imagine...you'd have an aircraft carrier.
Everybody listens to an aircraft carrier.
This is how you radicalize soldiers
thats also why dictators/fascist keep thier military weak and incompetent. not paying them enough, barely sustaining them, defunding them.
But also wanting to ~~invade neighbors~~ conduct special military operations, for some reason, with that same military. O.o
The war on Iran is doing a good job weakening the US military. The funds are going to the paramilitary ICE thugs. Priority is keeping the local population under control after fucking with the mid-terms
Kinda reminds me of WWII when we had Japanese American soldiers and likely their families in camps with all of their assets seized.
Pot, meet kettle.
“This is heartbreaking for me. I don’t know how I can mentally continue working 12+ hour days knowing that my dad is somewhere, possibly being treated like a criminal.”
My dude, they are already treating him like a criminal.
awww. STOP VOLUNTEERING FOR THE MILITARY.
I'm poor and desperate. Whose hiring? System is working as intended.
The purpose of a system is what it does.
“Having a family member in the military is not a free pass to violate our nation’s laws,” the DHS said.
I hope more people realize this and understand that by "serving" the state you are also protecting ICE.
If only we could get people to understand that the US military has been the global "ICE" for decades.
ICE is nothing more than Imperialism turned inward.
I'm old and jaded, but I hope these big dreams come true, comrade.
Me too, but I'll keep trying.
A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit
Signing up to kill and die for a country that actively, openly hates you was certainly a choice.
Trump hates the troops
Trump hates.
I will not give a fuck about these stories until I can reliably feel like they a) didn't vote for this and b) wouldn't vote for this yet again.
Obama's immigration policy, especially in his second term, prioritized the deportation of people with criminal records. Under Trump, only 29% of deported people had a criminal conviction. Most had no criminal record.
edit = cut and pasted from 'factually' site.
And Trump is paying billions more for ICE.
29%
No way it's that high. Unless something has drastically changed over the past six months, I think you're off by an order of magnitude. Last I looked it was closer to 2.9%
You are probably right. I used one source. Edited.
Also almost 3 times as many individuals kidnapped by ICE have died under Trump's administration than all of Obama's administration so far, the deaths are only going to increase.
Just when you think America is scraping rock bottom ethics/morality/humanity, they surprise you by going even lower.
The families of people who serve in the military should not be treated better than any other American family is, so this is not a new low, it's just the same low as usual.
Did I say that they should?
Kinda yeah
the gop/conservatives, and warhawks have never cared for cannon fodder that can be used to funnel money into defense contractors, and to the politicians pockets. its mostly performative politics.
Pissing off military service members is a bold move.
Really really hoping for a Sergei Eisenstein to suddenly become insanely relevant again
Right?! If this were any other country, we would've had multiple military coups forcefully removing the orange shitstain from office.
Owners get richer,
The more people they put in,
Concentration camps
Joshua Aviles says he is on a nine-month Middle East deployment and learned his father has been arrested
Another one of Orange Diaper Baby's "thank you for your service" moments. The entire crew of the Lincoln must hate him. He'll say they've all turned Communist and will insist the ship stay deployed forever.
The Trump Regime is making history rhyme. I hope that he and the rest of his ilk end up in a room, and never come out.
I'm suprised the military hasn't turned on him, but I suspect they will once he crys fowl on election day once they have true justification.
Idk, I don't have much faith left in Americans. I feel like we've been through "surely they'll do something once " too many times now
No minorities in the foxhole.
And what did they expect?
This is the current state of the US.
Be afraid.
