I have to keep saying this, and I apologize for the repetitiveness, but Republicans can stop all of this at any time. They can fire him, reign him in, anything to stop this.
I am an amateur propagandist. A hobbyist. Enthusiast, if you will.

Yep. But they won’t. Go to the conservative subreddit. They are fucking LOVING it.

Those conservative subs are 80% bots. Of course, the 20% that aren’t bots are being swayed by it.

I’m very happy I didn’t reproduce. For me, the bottom picture is simply a blank space
otacon239@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’ve felt this way before, but I also wonder if I would have had kids in another life where the world wasn’t so fucked. I feel occasionally that I was robbed of parenthood by our current state of things.
DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago

The one small consolation is that we don’t have a military draft, and most young people who pursue the miilitary either have a family with military service background. However, the other largest cohort are young people with no family support structures at all, so they give their lives to the war machine to try to do things like get an education.
Still, people choosing to enter military service is way down and more US citizens than ever fail to meet the fitness standards and requirements.
So, it’s not really “your kids” unless you chose to push them to military service or were such a bad/absent/dead parent that they had few other choices.
Now, if they try re-instating the draft, than this meme will be a lot more accurate.
This of course is not meant to minimize how insane this push for war is, nor how damaging it will be to those who are in military service, for whom this meme is very accurate.

I work with 100% veterans and active duty. I have thousands of clients, and veterans or active duty.
The vast majority of people do not join because of family tradition. The vast majority join for the absolutely insane benefits that come along with service.
SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
I won’t dispute your lived experience, I just know that I have read about families with prior military service being more likely to have children who similarly prioritize service. Thanks for being a support for them.
lechekaflan@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The vast majority join for the absolutely insane benefits that come along with service.
Many of them also join because it is basically their only/best option.
Unfortunately yes, and in some cases a whole people of a place send themselves to serve in exchange for those benefits, like American Samoans to recruiting stations as much as Nepalese to sign up hoping to become Gurkhas.
Fuckfuckmyfuckingass@lemmy.world 2 months ago
There is a draft. Every man in the country is signed up for it. They just haven’t used it since Vietnam.
chunes@lemmy.world 2 months ago
You make it sound automatic. No, they make you sign yourself up for it. Just to rub it in “we own you,” I guess?

Cause some people are psychos. Like I understand if a poor kid has no other means to get out of their situation and thus joins the army. But there are many middle class families with several generations of high ranking service members. These people are just straight up psycho, they have all the inside knowledge of what the military actually does and they still force their kids to join the military academy.

IME, unless it’s for papers and whatnot, it’s usually because your brain doesn’t work so you have no options outside of it (and your brain is so atrophied that morality is not considered either).

In a country with no universal healthcare it’s a way to get free/cheap healthcare as well as other perks… until you get deployed, then that excuse no longer flies.

Netanyahu’s sons did serve in the Israeli military, although how much danger they were actually in is unknown to me.
pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
They’re not going into this war is the point.
Limerance@piefed.social 2 months ago
One of Netanyahu’s sons was a press officer behind the lines, but the other was with combat intelligence at the front.
Israel is different in this regard. Everybody serves in the army. It’s also a small country. The military Is closely woven into society. The IDF is not a professional army, but mostly made up of reservists who are called up as needed. That means the political leaders will know people personally who have to fight.
What unit you serve in can make a big difference for your later success in life. Combat units, special forces, Air Force, and intelligence have the highest prestige.
Politicians benefit immensely in their credibility, if they have a distinct military career.
Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 2 months ago
That’s fine and if the Israelis and US decide to invade Iran, the IDF can lead the charge with a an amphibious assault. Right? You know who else had a closely woven society between the military and society? The fucking Nazis and Bolsheviks!
