Do the army support the president even if his orders are against your constitution? How is the overll clima and feeling today?

Just asking because I'm curious, I have no horse in this race :)

They've never had any problems with any of the other crimes against humanity they were ordered to do so why start now? They literally think they should be hailed as gods in the US and anyone who doesn't is a traitor, you think they'd have any qualms about killing protestors when they've already been told that they're anti-US terrorist scum?

It's literally the exact same tactics the IDF uses. Wonder who Israel learned it from.

    Have you talked to anyone in the armed forces? Many of them are there because they grew up poor and in the U.S. joining the military can be a good way to get out of poverty.

    Only a tiny fraction actually do any combat and even fewer commit war crimes. The main ones committing β€œwar crimes” is Congress who does things like give weapons to Israel.

    The majority of gang members also grew up poor and joined a gang to get out of poverty. Does that make it justified?
