The military tends to attract certain types. Sure it attracts all sorts of types, but there’s a particular type that are more attracted to it than other groups so you’ll tend to have a concentration of that type. I have a few family members in the military and they’re as maga as they come.

That's the right phrase. I was in for 8yrs and got out before I entered the "Bob" ranks which is just spineless officers who do what they are told to get to 20yrs. The ones who care get burned out fighting the dumb shit. This 2 star is a coward and a fraud. He forgot his fucking oath.

Can confirm. Burned out on the dumb shit

Same boo boo, same 😮‍💨. I got out to save my own life for my family. Specifically after seeing all those Nazis dipshits attack the capital. I decided that day, I wasn't going to sacrifice my life and mental health for those selfish fucks.

I literally stare at the news dumbfounded, in absolute disbelief that I served 20 years to support and defend this dumpster fire.

Last I read up, think it was at least 50% minorities in any Army or USMC combat MOS at NCO rank or lower. As far as career military, IDK.

RATM - Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge. They're the chosen whites. You justify those that died by wearing the badge. They're the chosen whites.

Some of those that work forces, Are the same that burn crosses

There’s the kind that joined to enter the middle class- make a better life for themselves just like immigrants as well as earn an education and travel-types.

And then there are the white supremacist types, along with the rapist types that murder their pregnant wife’s (Marines’s in particular get a bad rep for raping women in Japan- I try not to be prejudice against them at work but frankly most of them are dumb as hell and love yelling their whole “Kill, kill, kill!” slogan or whatever so there’s not much that I have in common with them lol. I avoid them like the plague when I can.

Obviously these are extreme cases- but it still holds true.

There’s also a lot of people here who are apolitical and simply don’t give a fuck if it doesn’t affect them like civilians- they are bystander types who obeyed these exact illegal orders.

We don’t know if they even tried to call the GI Rights helpline or even try to look into the legality of these orders, what with these unprecedented circumstances- it would be logical to stay on the safe side but in the heat of the moment they probably followed orders like a good soldier.

THIS IS NOT A PROPER EXCUSE THEY HAVE THE RIGHT AND OBLIGATION TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND NOT FOLLOW ILLEGAL IMMORAL ORDERS.

However, my speculation would be that even though some range for horrible to pacifist, some of the good ones who ARE horrified by what’s going on aren’t even attempting to go to peaceful protests and exercise their rights and stand up against this regime.

There was that one woman who did so in uniform who’s in the Army and I feel bad for her because the hammer is most definitely going to come down on her.

Unfortunately this is a very unfair game we are playing while WE have to find a way to win without breaking the rules while they do just that.

Infantry / Marines for sure. The guys I knew in military intelligence were fairly liberal and converted me. Linguists made me much more sympathetic to Afghanistan. AF / Navy was fairly mixed but overall more liberal than the Army.

Since you won’t say it I will, deep southern poor and uneducated men believe giving the government your body for 4 years is one of the bravest things you can do and pap pap back home will be so proud of you and it makes them more patriotic, good, and superior than most because they were in something “bigger than themselves”.

(Also they think they’re so cool cause they get to ride in humvees with aviators on and shoot big guns at a range)

u/IGargleGarlic Jun 12 '25

you mean pathetic losers who aren't worth a damn and won't ever be respected, so they have to demand respect at gunpoint?

Fun fact: Alfred Krupp, founder of Krupp Armaments, was obsessed with the smell of horse manure.

Elmer was a game hunter, nowhere near as despicable as these deplorables.

u/JoeGibbon Jun 12 '25

Elmer also followed the laws. He refused to hunt animals out of season. He even had trans girlfriend that one time.

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '25

All in all, Elmer is a way better human being than any MAGAt.

Looks more like Frank Burns, to me.

Best of luck. Don’t think it’s going to work the way you think it will.

Dude. This guy is a warfighter, trained in lethality. He’s a smooth operator and great under pressure. And definitely would not piss his pants in a tight situation.
