It's so funny how much abuse boots take but they never frag their COs over it.

They are truly housebroken, it's easier to just keep your mouth shut until your discharge

And even after you’re discharged, you don’t disrespect the military or the country it protects. You just complain about “politicians” and “businessmen,” which is fair, but it’s the same logic as bad apples.

If you think our barracks or on post housing are bad, wait until you see the inside of Ft. Leavenworth.

Also, kill the CO's all you want, there's literally an army full of LT's waiting for their chance to get an extra shiny bar and sit in the big chair.

Military prison is terrifying

It’s especially funny when they become veterans and complain about “the government” mistreating their soldiers. Never criticizes the officers or generals, and never criticize the military as an institution. It’s just politics that’s sending our boys to die and letting them drink rusty water and hazed.

I think it's the difference between being drafted into a fucked conflict versus signing up willingly (which means you likely get a variety of very weird as Hell personality types), that and also indoctrination happens big time on bases with boots told to "tough it up"

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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --
