More military cosplay from the thugs with badges.

“To extend its service life” really bugs me.

It’s a dog, not a squad car.

To be fair, animals have been used that way for many millennia. It’s just recently we decided that some animals are pets and not tools.

To be even more fair, that is exactly the terminology used for military personnel medical procedures. We all know that the thugs with badges absolutely love to cosplay as military, so it follows that they would use military terminology.

It makes them sound like a car or something.

Military members are considered “equipment,” by the US military. The terminology originated with them. The thugs with badges are using it for their cosplay.

I don’t think that’s okay for military purposes either tbh. Actually it’s pretty disgusting.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I can understand that when taken at face value. The reason for it is that as a member of the military, you are extremely technically no longer a citizen of the US, nor are you governed by the laws and regulations of the US. You are now governed by the UCMJ, which, in theory, is much stricter about what codes of conduct will be allowed in your day to day life.
Mostly it’s for accounting purposes.

Yeah, that’s what bugs me about this. Dogs deserve for us to treat them better than this. They’ve certainly earned better than this from us.
