Someone was just telling me yesterday about how so many ROTC students get promised tuition paid for, only to find out later for some stupid reason they were disqualified. They made it seem like it’s a very common thing.
Wait, a military recruiter was a slimy lying bastard? Couldn’t be!
I mean, there are plenty of boring desk jobs in the military too.
Yep, you can sit behind your screen and click on the wedding where the drone should strike.
Was Adolf eichmann a murderer? He never pulled a trigger.
He never pulled a trigger.
He joined the SS in 1932 and was tasked with event security for political rallies which routinely became violent. And then he rose through the ranks of an organization dedicated to covert violence very quickly. So, I wouldn’t bank on that.
My point is that he killed, whether he was holding a gun or a pen; he caused people to die on purpose. He is a mudderer. I don’t give a shit if he ever pulled a trigger, and deserved much worse than the hanging he got. As do his modern counterparts.

We can definitely talk about Social Murder as a phenomenon.
But I think it’s a bit too cutesy by half to assert a man climbed his way up the ranks of the SS in the middle of an insurrection in order to lead its mass extermination division managed it without ever getting his hands dirty.

I think we’re going to see folks who come out of the ICE recruitment of the Trump Two era who will also rise through the ranks and become mass murderers. I think we’ve already got guys like that - Ron DeSantis famously oversaw torture at Guantanamo Bay as attendant legal counsel - in positions of power.
They’ll all be able to look you in the face with dead fucking eyes and say “Prove I did anything wrong”. And I think quite a few liberals will nod and shrug and say “I guess the Rule of Law says we can’t do anything now that all the folks who could contradict this claim are in an unmarked grave”.
This is the wedge that lets these creeps crawl into power to begin with. Willful ignorance of the crimes of this country only serve to give sociopaths a ladder to climb.
And im saying they should all be voted for. And if they’re vile enough, like desantis, any family who didnt disown tbem should be voted for.
The ‘I joined bcs I needed an education’ was the first excuse.
This is the follow up.
They have to rationalise it to themselves.
As if there’s any reason to justify joining the worst and most prolific killing machine on the planet.To be fair it’s not the worst killing machine. Its nit like top 50% and itvus the most expensive, but it usually gets a pretty good amount of killing done.
What are you talking about?
No country even comes close.For pure numbers killed, i think russia wins. For efficiency per body dropped… When was the last time the Americans fully, like, won a war? Because it wasnt in my or my parents’ lifetime.
And they got their asses handed to them pretty badly by guys who didnt all have shoes a couple times since their last win.
Russia hasn’t got a death count near the US.
The US has lost everything after WW2, and there they played a small role despite the Hollywood fantasy depictions.
(I forgot the heroic victory against Grenada)russia hasn’t
Oh im counting deaths on voth sides.
Military recruiting continues to trend down in the U.S. but one area of growth against that was legal immigrants and children of illegal immigrants.
I’d wager we’ll have a lot fewer of those folks to recruit in the coming years.
I don’t know if it’s still like this, but the national guard being called up currently, are probably paying out of their own pocket to be there. These local call-ups aren’t usually paid that well.
It would be better if they would kill the people making college tuition hard to get instead of killing people so their oppressors could gain even more power.
Okay, but, and hear me out; what if i just actively pursued the most abhorrent results and went full ‘cruelty squad’ here?
That would take effort and risk.
Bombing brown people from a distance is much easier.
Watching Total Forgiveness on dropout right now, this is very apropos lol
