  Autist here, i refuse orders on principle, the only way people can get me to do anything is to have me decide that i agree on doing so.

  My expectations if i was ever forced in a military setting would be to get punished for Insubordination at a constant rate, i assume to get beaten, locked up, be given the extra shitty food (which i just wouldn’t eat).

  When it comes to being put under pressure i have a lifetime of experience. They can hurt, torture me all they want but will never rule over my independent thoughts.

  I am no hero, nor a vigilante but simply holding on to what i know is right is what gives me strengt. And while i expect coming out bruised, broken and traumatised it will stil not be close to the horrors my own mind will inflict on me for going against my nature.

    insubordination in time of war generally means court marshall and life in prision or execution under extreme circumstances.

    Its one thing to say you will do it and another to do it and accept the unknown but likely extremely bad repercussions.

      Its another thing to literally be so autistic that the extremely bad repercussions simply don’t matter.

      It wouldn’t really be a choice on my part.

      Good thing our cowardly Congress won’t actually declare war then.

  People in this comment thread seem to think it’s like one commanding officer in a room with them, so they do 1v1 combat like it’s a flipping video game.

    Good point Fragging works well for multi kill achievements.

  Isn’t it the logical thing to do?

  I mean, actually killing the innocent is out of the question. Shrug.

  So what are my options, what can I do?

  1. If I sit there and do nothing, that boss shoots me, and then he simply orders the next one to kill the innocent. No good option.

  2. If I kill myself, the same as above.

  3. Only if I kill that boss, then the source of the trouble is fixed. The only option to fix it.

  No, I am not in a position to try it out. Much too old and much too far away from Usa.

    This was about things to say in the interview at the draft board. What do you think will happen, if you say stuff like that?

      “Put me in jail for refusing to kill civilians for another country’s resources. Your regime will not last as long as my sentence.”

        Bonus points if something huge happens while you’re saying that and the regime literally all dies before you finish saying that sentence.
