How far are we from paramilitary groups of "good citizens" on the streets?
In the country with the highest number of weapons per capita in the world?
It's going to be extremely ugly.
If you are anyone other than a Nazi sympathizing white male (is there any other kind?), why would you enlist in this fascist enterprise? If I had a friend or relative who was considering it, I’d do everything possible to stop them.
Trust me when I tell you, they don't see themselves this way. If they used a diability or veteran preference that's generally not falling under DEI but different programs. I think it's funny as hell TBH, suck it up buttercups they coming for you too.
They love their vets and want to see them succeed, but these folks who are celebrating the racism and told other staff that they're looking forward to trump getting them fired? Great excuse to kick them to the curb
There are a lot more people who only have jobs because of DEI than realize it. I know of at least two guys who were hired despite their age/vet status who are being let go because more capable people were found.
That two trumpanzees are being fired so they can hire two furries is giving me hope.
This. 1/3 of the fed workforce are veterans. It's the group that benefits the most from DEI. They're a big percentage of the probationary workers that are caught in Republicans' illegal mass firing. And the cuts and hiring ban are hitting the already understaffed and underfunded VA.
Only about 40% by polling in last election don't support Trump. By personal experience and anecdotal observations vets from the SOF and Infantry/Airborne career fields are around 80+% MAGA.
I'm thinking maybe once rfk gets rid of mental health medication and psychiatry in general, those diagnoses will magically be irrelevant. Then there's a whole new group of people who will be able to enlist 😑
It's disgusting how people who have never served or couldn't even get a clearance are in charge of the military say they know what's best. They were finally doing something about toxic leadership. But that's gone now...
Chaya Raichik is a domestic terrorist who uses social media to get her followers to terrorize children in schools and hospitals... so she can feel powerful.
And don’t get me wrong, I’m not anti-military. This is my uncle Harold who was killed in France and I still cherish all his things, but this shit is not how it’s supposed to work.
Maybe they should remove tacos, pizza, spaghetti, fried chicken and bagels from all Army bases….you know DEI food….why be allowed to enjoy that what you don’t recognize???
My sincere wish is that every woman, POC, and LGBTQ+ person saves their talents, skills, and abilities for building their own business or working for nonprofits that reflect their values. Let's see how far business and military get with only 1/3 of America's potential workforce available to them.
US Army.
You have done the unimaginable. You have made me hate you. My 22-year Army Vet husband (soon to be ex) has brain rot from his band of hateful FB vets group. You were our last line of defense against a Tyrant. You fucking failed to keep your oath! I have NO respect to what you've become.
The country that existed before January 20, 2025 is gone. A lot of people don’t seem to grasp what’s going on. They will, eventually, and it’s much too late.
They didn't repost it, they quote tweeted it to address it directly, much like how people quote tweet Trump to criticize him. The disappointing part is that instead of simply saying, "That memo is outdate. We comply with the law," they added, "DEI is dead" to make the groveling super clear.
Yeah, I know there are plenty of people in the army who are concerned. But how many of them will do it anyway and then after the fact try to justify it with “just following orders”?
I actually don’t know the answer, but I do know they’ve been fed a lot of propaganda.
Historically, the military has a lot of southerners I think that has a lot to do with the renaming of bases after Confederates. Maga sees that as a BIGLY victory.
I don’t get it, my dad was in the military and I was taught that draft dodgers are the scum of the earth. How any service member could support the 🍊🤡 is beyond me.
So let me understand, trump and doge only want republicans in the military? Ok so our democrat sons and daughters will be safe and not have to participate in trumps belligerence.
and to put bibles in all schools and force Christian religion on to everyone and have the USA become a Christian Nationalism country and for Trump to defy the courts and be a king meaning Dictator like Putin and others throughout the world and have state media report only want they tell themtoreport
yes MAGA hates DEI LGBT Trans and Disabled people and nonwhites. Maga supporters say Trump is the Messiah Savior Chosen one and they want him to start world war 3 A Nuclear war so the end times happens and for him to continue the 7yr false peace treaty between Israel and Palestine
My new thing is...if they want a white Christian Nationalist country then that is who can fight in wars. They don't want to see the rest of is as humans anyway. 🤷♀️
A senator proposed a bill for all white males age 18 to go to college or enlist in the military. They are no longer recruiting Black people or any people of color. They’re building an armed militia of racists.
So you're sayin' that the US Army is as full of entitled white men who are neither as intelligent nor as capable as the women and people of color around them as we always suspected it was? And that they're panicking and jumping on the MAGA bandwagon to preserve their entitlement? Gotcha.
If these freaks got everything they wanted, they would still be angry assholes. There is nothing that would satisfy them. Their joy in life is hating, complaining & staying angry. They're such a pathetic waste of oxygen.
Yep, that's what I'm been saying. Like tRump and his continued anger. He gets a "get out of jail free" card, the presidency, and immunity, and it isn't enough. He wants everyone to bow before him like a king now, and it's not going to end well.
Musk's the same, so many have had the how can I serve mentality not these people they are takers at the highest, there's no room for them on this ship.
Mary Trump said her uncle had a personality disorder in which enough is never enough. Do one thing outrageous and then up the ante. Still not enough. Never is.
She also said he didn't have any redeeming values whatsoever and thought only of himself. I can't believe how far he's been able to con people. All because he's rich and able to manipulate the gullible!
Well forget about any minority getting promoted . All minorities will be stuck in the galley peeling potatoes ,washing dishes , serving food ,or cleaning latrines again.
I'm not sure. When more and people start feeling the oppression along with the economy getting worse, the more the retaliation. I expect liberals and MAGATS will grow angrier at each other while the cause of it sits grinning at the White House and Capitol.
It seems only 24% of the country matters now. I hope the pain to those who voted for this is significant enough to wake them from their blind stupidity. It won't, but I maintain hope.
You make a great point! All executive orders can be reversed! He has the senate and the house. He could pass it through congress because this is their government. One wonders why he is choosing to rule through executive order?
I mean, I think that's what they want, but if they keep excluding and alienating others, they're really going to have to start lowering their standards.
Is it possible the Army has decided to punk the administration with their social media account? Or am I delusional? Seriously, I cannot believe that our military would turn en masse like this. Have they been like this all along? I may need to go cry this one out, because my heart is broken. FDT.
Unfortunately Christian fundamentalists have had several goals the last few decades it looks like they have accomplished. One is to have multiple poorly educated (home school only) children they raise to populate the military and political offices. Couple documentaries go over this.
Believe it or not the documentary Shiny, Happy People about the 19 kids and counting reality family is one of them. One of the reasons they have all those kids + 2 Duggar’s ran for office & they are friends with the Huckabee’s /political connections. And there’s “ The Family” on Netflix.
It's like all the government websites and such are being run by immature kids. If you walked into a government building they wouldn't talk like that. I mean that might change though. I was in the military for awhile and never seen this before.
Beyond gross. Maybe all service people who are not Nazis need to start talking among themselves. I am confident they are smarter than the Nazi jackasses. Start being subversive.
Our I thought our military was supposed to uphold the Constitution had no loyalty to a man, a party or president? We're f****** screwed. My dad who fought in World war II against Hitler in the army would be so disappointed right now. I'm so glad he's not here to see this
I might be wrong but I remember someone saying in project 2025 they are going to bring back the draft. So this my be their plan if they need to rapidly enlist. I hope this isn't true.
My dad drove a landing craft at D-Day. I too am glad he isn’t around to see people at the highest levels of our govt admiring & following dictators - esp. Hitler. But I can’t help but think if more WWII vets were around & not aged, we wouldn’t have gotten to this point. They would have shut it down.
My stepdad was a bomber pilot who was shot down over Nazi Germany and taken POW. Lost his entire right arm, tangled in his parachute. I'm so deeply grateful he died before Trump's first term. This would kill him
My Grandmother was one of my favorite people. She was a Holocaust survivor and so intelligent, brave, mischievous, and kind. I asked her once whether she believed in God and she said no. No God would let the horrible things she has seen happen. I am glad she does not have to bear witness to this.
Gotta wonder if the judiciary says the admin is doing something unconstitutional will the Army follow the letter of law as defined by the judiciary or will they "just follow orders".
This is what happens when you put in an O-4 as SecDUI.
Hegseth is a White Nationalist & so far from qualified for the job it’s beyond farcical. Then again, the actual President is so far from qualified for the job it’s way beyond farcical!
You’ve got 4 Star Generals/Admirals having to answer to 🤡’s
6 Combat Tours & horrendously disgusted & embarrassed! I sure as shit didn’t give 15yrs of my life, my flesh & blood, for this shit! 🤬
I’m with your husband on this.
I keep hearing that the military is solidly trump supportive. I listened to Pete H. , he sounds amateurish, not a leader. I think he’s a whack job and will never respect him, there had to be better republican choices.
Every military person I know is solidly pro-trump and convinced that libs were doing illegal things that trump is somehow able to root out better than *checks notes* the military or law enforcement. I’ve been worried about the military for a few years now because they drank the maga koolaid
This. Even after my husband transitioned to civilian we both have worked in the DoD space for many many years. Lots of folks on the IT and Cyber side know exactly what’s up. They are scared shitless.
The morale must be low for the ones just trying to do their job. Musk has made working in government as something bad all around. He is shoving us around like we have no value or voice in our country.
As a Finnish reserve nco, sounds like a fucking great idea to allow discrimination among people who are trained to kill and armed, working in places where people are already getting shot at and killed without anyone really looking too closely into what exactly happened! 😉👌

So that happened
We aren’t even 50 days in.
Sigh.
I thought y’all were dedicated to fighting fascism not being its cockholster.
The Taliban for Trump
That two trumpanzees are being fired so they can hire two furries is giving me hope.
Some of the most honorable people I’ve ever met were veterans - GREAT examples of how I imagine an American should be.
I bet not one of them has a Trump sign on their front lawn.
I'm thinking maybe once rfk gets rid of mental health medication and psychiatry in general, those diagnoses will magically be irrelevant. Then there's a whole new group of people who will be able to enlist 😑
The Army is now MAGA.
I THOUGHT they took an oath, too, to uphold the Constitution.
You have done the unimaginable. You have made me hate you. My 22-year Army Vet husband (soon to be ex) has brain rot from his band of hateful FB vets group. You were our last line of defense against a Tyrant. You fucking failed to keep your oath! I have NO respect to what you've become.
🤦I swear I proofread it first.
Either way it’s a disgrace.
So many good guys who served in the army, who are now rolling in their graves
I actually don’t know the answer, but I do know they’ve been fed a lot of propaganda.
Americans: what are we, a bunch of Asians???
Haven’t we gotten tons of ideas of how to run our country from others all over the world throughout the years?
I’m not asking these questions to argue. I just want to make sure I’m not crazy here lol.
Sarcasm is VERY much a thing here. Its detection? Not so much lol.
The US army, writing this is revolting.
Hot fucking garbage
Yes it involves doing what they’re currently doing, but it’s a cancer and has to be removed
@usarmy.bsky.social might wanna shut their damn mouths
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Help us understand since you’re a Republican and finally left in 2020
Which is pretty fucking late if you ask me
Nice capitulation, Army leadership.
Half a century ago, W.E.B. Griffin wrote a series of books about the Army that greatly influenced my career choice.
But he did include this important truth: “You may love the Army, but it will never love you back.”
Frank Turner has a song called 1933 and it hits hard. Our older generations would be ASHAMED.
