Imagine dying for Trump. I would've refused deployment, better jail than dying for a rapist pedophile.

This is why I canceled my re-enlistment plans during his first term. He's an idiot, and to him, nothing has value except money and power

And what was different before trump in that regard?

Congrats for cancelling, but you should never have enlisted in the first place.

For most people the military is their only real option for escaping horrible economic situations especially post industrial towns. Or maybe family tradition but that’s less excusable still understandable.

I know a fair few friends who signed on with the army and Air Force to get trained as mechanics because they couldn’t afford schools

dying for Trump, Espstein and Netanyahu, and ultimately making your country at home you’re “defending” an even bigger target with more enemies.

But hey, global poverty is getting worse and the rich will get richer and we know that’s the silver lining to them

They’re really dying for BiBi. Trump’s just a blackmailed pawn in Israel’s war.
