I've seen at least 5 regulars here say they are or were part of the American military. What's up with that?

ah i see. That's interesting to know. They were trying to brainwash the military first it seems.
They were trying to demoralize the military.
Every year he was in office, war games were run by the Obama administration projecting the outcome of a civil war of red states vs blue states. I participated in one.
The red states won every time they ran the numbers, under the assumption that at least a full third of the US military deserted and joined them.
Obama was trying to tear the military down, because on the whole the military would have sided against him. And he heavily succeeded. Almost anyone worth a good goddamn got out.
I think it's worth remembering that yes, those people got out, but they still have their training, experience, and a newfound resentment for the federal government. Pretty much every American vet I know would undoubtedly be a rebel if the rubber hit the road again. Those people are still on the chessboard.
If vets weren't resentful of the feds during their service, they will after they interact with the US Department of Veteran Affairs. It's yet to top the "plz no suicide kthx" memo after the fall of Afghanistan under Biden.
I posted that one here. I couldn't believe that someone actually decided to send that.
The DVA hasn't reach Canadian levels of bad yet then? That's something
Yeah the vets here in Aus are treated abysmally too. There are a bunch of different pensions and stuff for free/discounted therapy in our semi socialist system. Let's say the vet wants physio and speech path, for a war wound affecting the face. NDIS (properly disabled people under 65) and medicare and aged-medicare/myagedcare are the big 3, and some private health insurance cases too. That there is 90% of their caseload, with another 8% being nominally private, getting some documentation to get onto the NDIS or something. DVA you rarely see, its that final 2% you don't often taketake. But when you do, the clinic either rejects it for it being so bad of a deal for them, pennies, compared to the main pensions and requiring yet more paperwork for something you rarely work with, politely suggest they go and look into getting onto one of the others before you'll see em, or take it on essentially out of charity/patriotism.
Yeah, it seems like a losing move. Now you have a bunch of people with knowledge and experience and no faith in the government, are capable of training others, and now they have a head start because they can start training their groups early instead of whenever they defect. Even if you don't like them, surely keeping them at least placated would be the winning strategy?
Rusted tools are to be discarded, not placated.
its worth noting that the Axis countries were led by military people. Probably why "they" are afraid of such people
They fear the collaborative efforts of strong, moral, intelligent White men working together. I'm sure you can imagine why.
You hear about this sort of thing on anonymous greentext via 4chan, so it's kinda crazy to see someone say 'yeah, they were actually a thing' on a more permanent forum.
I'm kinda curious about what it was like, but given all the vets I know, they have to dance around a bunch of, as my boss calls it, 'secret squirrel bullshit'.
I would like to be able to but yeah, it would be nothing but a lack of concrete details.
I'll say that the consistent results alarmed the administration, that's for sure.
The military is a social experiment platform. Service members sign away the rights they swear to defend, which makes them perfect guinea pigs for any medical, social, cultural experiment imaginable.
Talk about getting vaccinated, the gauntlet of injections received in basic training is on part with the vaccine schedule for children today. You wouldn't believe it.
They had DEI training as early as 2016, preparing leadership for trannies on fucking war ships. Before that, cultural appreciation in decision making and mission accomplishment. It's all done there because there's no escaping one's compliance. Everyone must pipe up and profess their agreement with multiculturalism.
Anyone who has served in the last 20 years absolutely hates their country's government.
Dont Ask Dont Tell expired in 2011, and everyone had to sit through powerpoint hell over that. Service wide.
I sat through it. I was in 1994-2014.
I got the experimental Anthrax shots in the early 2000s, and lawsuits from that are why the military cannot give experimental vaccines to servicemembers. Which, of course, the DoD and FDA step around for COVID by approving a shot with 3 years left on development, and then calling the EUA shot "functionally and legally equivalent" to the approved shot.
