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.
Kinda reminds me of WWII when we had Japanese American soldiers and likely their families in camps with all of their assets seized.
awww. STOP VOLUNTEERING FOR THE MILITARY.
I'm poor and desperate. Whose hiring? System is working as intended.
So you fucking murder people?? Why join the fucking military if that is your solution, you'd do less harm in the world just stealing what you need. I'm poor and desperate, too, but I'd rather starve to death.
The purpose of a system is what it does.
Unless it's badly designed, in which case it does everything worse than intended.
Sounds like job security to me
If you think so then let me tell you about the history of planned obsolescence.

“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.
They're treating the troops as expendable slaves, so what else is shocking.
Signing up to kill and die for a country that actively, openly hates you was certainly a choice.
“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
What a great way to make your trained killers remember their oath to the Constitution to protect against its enemies, both foreign and domestic.

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.
The consequences of my actions are suddenly facing me, and now I don't wish for it to happen to me or my family anymore. But I still wish for it to happen to everybody else, so I'm still gonna vote for it. GoFundMe when?
Right? Yeah .. 51%ish people voted for him, and if you didn't vote at all, then you helped cause it. Not that I think Kamala wasn't a lying piece of shit, but I'd rather have 4 years of stagnation than 4 years of what we're getting.
TBH I think the Democrats have it in the bag next election if they provide someone remotely competent. The die hard Trumpies will always vote right, but I think a lot of people were on the fence will go left as a knee jerk reaction.
