Gotta give the (probably imaginary) recruiter credit for a classy response though.

[–] alphapuggle@programming.dev 98 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Can confirm they're real as well as the reaction

My GF would kill me if I wore it, however much I love the shirt. She was army reserves for 8 years. She is so happy to be out though now. She was deployed to Kuwait and Afghanistan. She's officially VFW with all the VA benefits. But yea, totally one weekend a month, lol.

[–] theotherone@kbin.social 68 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I’d imagine they swap creative blow-offs for laughs, like any job.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 48 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Man, I haven't been blown off in a while...

[–] Zeppo@sh.itjust.works 47 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Military would be a great place to start looking.

[–] Zehzin@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

I'll get blown for crack before I get blown for the military

[–] RidderSport@feddit.de 4 points 6 months ago (3 children)

I have been told that the chances are high in the Navy, so I went. Can't confirm though

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Chances are higher in the US Army, they get a whole buffet of sheep when they are deployed.

[–] RidderSport@feddit.de 2 points 6 months ago

But that only strenghtens the aptitude of sodomistic practices and not necessarily in being gay

Was Navy can confirm, many orgies

[–] RadicalEagle@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

Let alone creatively.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 53 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They're usually dudes who got bumped there for being injured, for being psyched, or being incompetent but well meaning. Don't be mean to them, they legit don't want to do what they're doing they know how stupid and shitty it is but they still have time left in contract and gotta trudge it out day by day like the rest of us.

[–] Mnemnosyne@sh.itjust.works 40 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Some of them, sure, but there are a lot of stories of how many lies recruiters will tell you to get you to sign on, so a pretty significant number are genuinely bad people.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago (2 children)

They have quotas blame the system not the consequences.

[–] TechNerdWizard42@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago (3 children)

If they weren't conscripted via draft, they volunteered. 100% their shitty choice to become a terrorist.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The average income of a enlistee is below the poverty line, if you can't get a job you can get your ass in the military and make enough to survive.

You act like every life choice is binary.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

it was 100% your shitty choice to become homeless. maybe dont get cancer and be in debt to medical bills next time dumbass

[–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Good to remember that not everyone is aware of the bullshit by 17 or 18 when recruiting is at its height (gotta pay for college somehow, right?). I know I wasn't but, luckily planned to do ROTC instead of enlisting, then, educated myself out of being willing to do that.

[–] TechNerdWizard42@lemmy.world -2 points 6 months ago

If "ignorance isn't an excuse" doesn't get you out of any law you break, it also doesn't get you out of accidentally joining a terrorist organization due to propaganda.

Because that's exactly what it is.

It is no different than the teenagers that join ISIS. Propaganda takes them in, they join voluntarily, they live with their consequences for life.

[–] ZMoney@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They are usually uneducated and poor with trauma in their backgrounds. They have no idea what they're signing up for.

[–] TechNerdWizard42@lemmy.world -3 points 6 months ago

This is an acceptable excuse in 1902.

In the age of Google and where even the homeless bum down by the river has a smart phone, Googling to find out about a major life choice is easy to do. Failure to help yourself do nothing but use a phone for 10 minutes deserves zero empathy.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

For the same reason I don't get upset at the drive through server when the cook makes my burger wrong. They're just part of the process, not the cause it's kinda hard to judge people for trying to survive.

[–] rambling_lunatic@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

On the other hand, the policing system encourages screwing over minorities and doing various other scummy things (through a quota system among other things). This does not absolve cops of guilt if they target minorities, lie, or plant drugs.

[–] olutukko@lemmy.world 29 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

this actually was in mildly infuriating a while back from the original screenshotter, complaining abouth the fact that the army reqruiters can do this trough messaging apps. so I think it's very real

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 months ago

I think its originally real, but this image is old to me. Pretty sure I've been seeing this one place or another for at least a year now.
