Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Values of the us armed forces lmao
we don't want to bomb them that hard! have some damn decency!
A lot of people who do the violent work of capital aren't actually dead-eyed psychos. Plenty believe there's some worthwhile purpose behind what they're doing. That's half the reason we have such a wall-to-wall propaganda machine; to let the folks pointing the guns rationalize.
There's a big difference between that and doing anything (even as modest as this) that might jeopardize your livelihood for your beliefs, but there's at least an entry point there.
Yeah but the letter said values of the US Armed Forces not “values of certain individuals within the US Armed Forces.” So as a commentary on the values of the institution itself, the letter is hilariously wrong as the USAF is one of the most evil institutions in the history of mankind
the explicitly-expressed patriotic values of the USAF are different than the actual values of killing brown people in service of capitalism. but the oaths and propaganda is largely about the explicit stuff. this type of thing appeals to
Stated values are completely meaningless though
