Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Let everyone have their own content.

Disregard all rules, Get this to anyone you know in the US military now
A tweet states that National Guard or Active Duty military ordered to violate constitutional rights can call the GI Rights Hotline for support, with the number 1-877-447-4487 provided.
In before this hotline is closed down or subverted.
this is a tweet from 2020: https://xcancel.com/CianMW/status/1267890378276876288
but, the organization which operates that hotline is still active: https://girightshotline.org/
The nazi soldiers were just following orders man idk what else to say. They were basically innocent.
Don't expect that to make a difference. Only 199 were tried at Nuremberg.
But over 3.5 Million were investigated, removed from office or faced trial in the so called "Entnazifizierung"
it hasn't been silently taken over to disappear anyone that disobeys?
I dont think so, but If you think it has, contact JAG. Went to lookup if they have hotline, CAL GAURD JAG was apparently a trending search....
no hotline but front desk # for CAL GAURD JAG is 916-854-3505
not the same thing but UCMJ reports and legal questions are JAG's bread and butter
What does GI stand for?
Gastrointestinal.
Well actually: "It was originally an initialism used in U.S. Army paperwork for items made of galvanized iron.[2] The earliest known instance in writing is from either 1906[3] or 1907.[2]" Also later on re-interpreted as "government issued" etc. but I guess today it just means US army soldier
General Infantry. I believe it’s a classification in the US Army, but it basically just means soldier.
For completeness, Glycemic Index. In this case General Infantry though.
Glycemic Index Joe, reporting for duty
gastrointestinal Joe always reports for dooty
Apparently, it originally stood for galvanized iron based on the Wikipedia links shared elsewhere in this thread.
General Infantry
In military/national defense contexts, it's usually referring to General Infantry
I think it is actually generally short for "Government Issue" as a kinda a reference that they are government issue like everything else in a soldiers life
Without looking it up I think it's government issued. Or that's what I learned or made up as a kid. Probably wrong.
