Honestly, I don’t think you’ve been around many military people. One of the great things about most enlisted people is they have to have a sense of humor or they probably wouldn’t make it. They’re constantly joking on each other. They’ve heard the “… and their wive’s boyfriend” thing hundreds of times probably, including from other military people.
Fair point, I personally couldn’t care less if the U.S. Military supported me or not if I can’t exercise my free speech then I don’t think it even matters. Again that’s my personal beliefs.
They need to be held to a higher standard of behavior by the people. So they must be critiqued it is crucial in a functional democracy.
Is that what’s happen in reality? Not really, it’s very politically motivated right now.
I was trying to explain to a friend why alienation of fellow Americans is a bad move for any side that isn’t in power.
Realistically I don’t think the majority of conservatives or even maga conservatives are actually nazis or even believe in the pillars that establish fascism. I’m sure there are some, but I bet it’s less than 5% of that base.
Just casually trashing the military and then being shocked when the military doesn’t support you.

“Been around many military”
Did 20 years active duty but go off I guess.
Cool, then you know this is really fucking common. You’re holding other people to a standard you almost certainly don’t hold.
Nope, same way you can talk shit about your brother but no one else can.
New account being a troll? Color me surprised.
From .world no less! Why, I never!
I’m just so surprised! /s
How’s that leather taste?
If the military willingly follows illegal, unconstitutional orders, why would I want to support them?
Ah, so the military is committing treason?
Yes.
One of the freedoms the American military purportedly protects is the freedom to talk shit about the American military.
Ok? So what? You’re legally allowed to but don’t expect people to like your for it.
I was in the military, they aren’t above reproach my guy
Cool, shit talking the military is still certainly a choice if you expect them to back you up.
Ah so you don’t support freedom of speech just speech you agree with for it.
Nope, no idea why you even think that.

Sure, I don’t disagree, but if you REALLY think there a Nazi, Fascist dictatorship coming into power, the military is someone you want on your side.
And the military, particularly combat arms, tends to be more conservative than liberal.
Oh Yeah, I definitely can see what you’re saying

Agreed, the rhetoric across the country has gotten out of control and I don’t see it getting better any time soon, unfortunately.
I like him for it
You like them trashing the military?
Cool, don’t expect the military to support you.
They aren’t. They’re gargling trump and putin’s balls instead
“Why won’t the military support us in elections or otherwise? It’s crazy! Maybe we haven’t insulted them enough!”
I think you’re thinking of your Fuhrer instead.
Nope, but thanks for proving my point.
