They ARE pawns, and the sooner they all realise that, the sooner they can conscientiously object to their orders.

It's like they're trapped in a game, and the sooner they realize it, the sooner they can make a conscious decision to refuse their orders. But, let's be real, their commander-in-chief is a draft-dodging traitor, and they know it.

Their commander is cheif is a draft-dodging traitor and they know it.

My son has 2 friends in the military, their first jobs, both 20. I’ve known since they were 4. Thankfully neither one is part of this mess. Not a good time to join the military

They need to tell whisky leaks pete and traitor trump to go jump off a cliff and join LA and the rest of the US in solidarity against this lawless regime. No one would blame them since they were not legally sent there and their oath is supposed to be to the constitution not the orange weirdo.

As a retired Army Master Sergeant I tell you what soldiers hate the most is Bullshit missions with no purpose or direction and to much idle time. Yes not good for morale.

Just remember dear soldiers of America .. your Commander in Chief never set a foot into a boot because it hurt his bone spurs. He will never know what you know about you or your life or your love for this country. He does not want to. Americans like me admire your devotion and your service God Bless

But some enjoy firing upon reporters and peaceful citizens, so there’s that

armyrob.bsky.social•12 days ago

Do you have proof that a soldier, sailor, marine or airman fired on any civilian or you just wishing it happens?

randyc25.bsky.social•11 days ago

You are correct sir, I was mistakenly referring to the videos showing law enforcement shooting innocent civilians with rubber bullets

armyrob.bsky.social•11 days ago

Thank you for clarifying. 👍

It is absolutely what they signed up for when Trump is the dirty king.

Oh sure you wanted to join the Gestapo but thought it would be glamorous. I hope they’re as miserable as can be.

Our military has a long, period tradition of being officially apolitical. Why are you blaming the NG and Marines? ICE on the other hand...

ellohhlo.bsky.social•11 days ago

Proud* tradition.

worthless-human.bsky.social•11 days ago

And earlier this week the 82nd and Fort Bragg put on a pep rally for our dear leader.

Not apolitical anymore.

ellohhlo.bsky.social•11 days ago

Just stop painting the entire military as bad. It isn't helpful and it's downright disgusting.

sweatband09.bsky.social•11 days ago

The actions of the military in LA are disgusting, yes. If no military members stand up against it, we can only suppose that they are all for it. If not, they should speak up.

ellohhlo.bsky.social•11 days ago

I have not seen any news that show mistreatment by the military. The LA police, yes! Please share if you have.

treefrog113.bsky.social•12 days ago

trump’s intent is as much to destroy the fabric of our military as it is to tear apart our communities.🤬

letatcestmoi.bsky.social•11 days ago

That’s one of the most encouraging things I’ve heard.

They SHOULD be uncomfortable. They should know they don’t have to obey illegal orders. They should not fire on their own fellow citizens. They didn’t sign up for that.

mswoodlander.bsky.social•11 days ago

They need to be admonished that following an illegal order can get them into trouble.

kelly7652.bsky.social•12 days ago

Please don't hurt the demonstrators. They are your neighbors.

schmidtjokes.bsky.social•12 days ago

As soon as it was announced I was imagining marines telling their significant others they were getting deployed…. Then saying to Los Angeles…. Really fuckin weird…. Or the SO who doesn’t watch news thinking it’s bs & accuses them of cheating 🤷‍♂️
