It has strong "we ran a press briefing front the Pentagon through an AI story writing machine and this is the most intelligent thing it could produce" energy.
Meanwhile a third of congress used their uniforms while campaigning being racist, bigoted, war profiteers. Just need to boilerplate "Use of imagery does not reflect opinion of DOD" or some lame shit like that.
If I remember correctly the army manual or whatever is proudly saying that no american soldier has ideological lessons, unlike those damn commies/terrorists/whichever enemy is convenient currently
I didn't see any support whatsoever. Most of them are open zionists, complain that it makes the military look bad, doubt that he's the one committing the genocide, or complain that they're going to get extra safety briefings.
The only allowed thread on the topic, 25 minutes ago (one day after it happened), heavily moderated to avoid politics. There's suicide awareness pandering and recommendations that you talk to the chaplain if you ever feel like self-immolating to atone for committing genocide. One says that "This doesn’t change anything. Israel will remain our closest ally and rightfully so." (+14) which is allowed under the no politics rule. A couple people call out Israel in sub-comments and they're downvoted. Another said "Kind of sad it had to come to this. If this Airman was willing to die for a cause then he should have volunteered to go to Gaza and work as an aid worker.", not mentioning that the aid workers are being bombed by the weapons that the USAF is delivering to Israel. Also allowed under the "no making fun of suicide" rule.
That's why I archived their threads on the subject. Whenever the ash settles and liberals trot out the old "don't blame the troops. they were just pawns. they didn't support the decisions they didn't make." lines, the one airman to take a stance against the genocide was mocked for it in a way that's indistinguishable from the most Zionist or far-right communities' responses. They're universally enthusiastically complicit. The mods have to restrain them like feral animals to keep the subreddits from being banned by how much they hate the one dissenter brave enough to attach their name to it. The only comfort I can take from knowing they exist is knowing we're at most a few years away from drone videos of them being torn apart by their victims.
you know, they just don't make propaganda lile they used to anymore. that stuff used to be free and they'd paste it onto the side of a wall for all to see. now you got to pay for it. what has this world come to?
The post included a link to a live-stream of his protest on the web-broadcasting platform Twitch, which took down the video for violations of its community guidelines and terms of service.
Shame. They could have monetized the fuck out of that display.
The title of the article isn't visible in this screenshot; that's an ad (OP, you should be running firefox with ublock origin so you don't see that bullshit)
Lee Harvey Oswald was actually a patriot because he didn't besmirch his USMC uniform by wearing it while he defected the USSR or engaged in POTUS deletus
Of course, it is the Defense Department's position that active duty service members shouldn't practice self-immolation. They should especially not do so as a revolutionary act to strike against powers that could not otherwise be meaningfully resisted. That would not be appropriate, in the eyes of the Defense Department. Enlistment is already trending downwards, we can't be having this.
This is what I would write if I were the media person in the Pentagon. Probably one of many reasons I was never approached for the job.
A close friend of mine was in the military and was open about hating the experience and the military. One of their colleagues asked if they hated it so much why didnt they leave as if they didnt sign a contract.
Or the genuine shock had and the scolding the colleague gave when they declared they didnt take the oath as seriously as they did.
Not having that skepticism or cynicism, thats brainwashed.
