Apparently the US Department of DefenseWar thinks that they can order non-US citizens not resident in the USA to cease and desist from mailing things.

Uh…

Hilarity of the items involved aside, the gall of the US military postal service to give orders to civilians not under their command and not even of their nation is shocking.

It's pretty standard for American commenters on social media to unthinkingly assume that American law is somehow "universal." I guess that's the level that the American government in general has descended to at this point.

    Yeah, you see stories of Americans in foreign countries being detained or arrested and they are like "I know my rights" LOL. Clearly you don't.

    You also see Canadians citing their First Amendment right to free speech, which is always amusing.

    I know this isn't what they're doing at all, but I like to think they're actually referring to the first amendment of our constitution. I find it comical to think they're that passionate about either the establishment of Manitoba (technically the first amendment) or strengthening Indigenous peoples' rights (first amendment after 1982 when we achieved full sovereignty).
