MODERATORS
I am recently (last few weeks recent) out of the Navy. Not eoas but I doubt people are interested in the reasons and it would be easy to dox me if I got into details.
Its bad. Most of the people in the navy are more than willing to do whatever they are told. I was a role that had a higher than average level of people leaning left and even then most of them were explicitly republican even if they thought trump was stupid.
The military will just do whatever they are told unless someone higher up is willing to break ranks first.
That's honestly really sad and pathetic.
I'd expect there to be more rational thought, even if it doesn't translate into the action of disobedience.
So it’s like every other big institution gotcha 😉
I know you're kidding but I hope people aren't excited about "showing those savages who are boss" at the nees that were bombing people.
Im not really kidding in most big organisations people just do what they’re told, being the hero fucking sucks and will ruin your life that’s why most people just keep their heads down and focus on their own and families survival.
