Troops when the imperialism is turned outwards: Haha fuck yeah yes

Troops when the imperialism is turned inwards: Hey man what the fuck this sucks

While you all laugh at the troops for being hit by the imperial boomerang, I'm just thinking how the US is making enemies of people who it trained to fight; first with trans troops being expelled and now this. That training doesn't go away, after all.

Do we not have enough villains in media do that "you've outlived your usefulness, now die" shit? I feel like people would be more prepared for it.

Americans despite their media obsessions don't do media literacy, they can't detect even the simplest subtext without an explainer

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago

Not when that same media depicts the US as being against those guys

[–] AntifaSuperWombat@hexbear.net 13 points 2 days ago

Maybe they should've fought against it?

It's called the Imperial Boomerang for a reason

Look if you served the US state I don’t really have much sympathy for you but if you’re vulnerable now the least you can do is use that military training to engage in some exciting activities as to redeem yourself

Otherwise cmon you’re just gonna let them do it? Yet you would have obeyed them if they told you to commit war crimes? Fuck that do something cool haven’t you seen first blood dawg

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 25 points 2 days ago

you would have obeyed them if they told you to commit war crimes?

I bet they'd obey orders to help ICE deport people if they were still in the military lmaoooo

I don’t know if it’s good or bad that service doesn’t guarantee citizenship.

Probably good tbh.
