“Dating back to World War 1, the ILA was always proud to note that ‘ILA Also Means Love America’ when it came to its “No Strike Pledge” in handling U.S. military cargo at all its ports,” said ILA President Harold Daggett, who served in the U.S. Navy and saw combat duty during the Vietnam War. “We continue our pledge to never let our brave American troops down for their valour and service and we will proudly continue to work all military shipments beyond October 1st, even if we are engaged in a strike.”
The ILA’s Military Consultant, Gen. (Ret.) Tim McHale, weighed in on the ILA’s “No Strike Pledge” for U.S. Military cargo: “The U.S. Government representatives I have been engaging with are very happy and satisfied with the ILA who have always been there in tough situations, and always successfully accomplished the mission. Our U.S. Military knows that the ILA will conduct military load out operations even if there is a strike by ILA.”
critical support to their strike and all, but example of international solidarity this aint

Yup. The grad's mod staff has reached and breached their credit limit with me as far as my faith in their seriousness goes. I'd rather hang out with shitposters than people who my gut's reading as smuggards and hypocrites; ESPECIALLY where the subject of COVID's concerned. That shit has materially harmed TOO MUCH of my family and community for me to not crash out on a plague rat or a defender of such.

I won't be the one to take away from their accomplishments; because I do believe on some level that they do their thing out here-- but I have little tolerance for the places where they contradict and where that infringes on me. Coexistence, but apart, is where I'm at with that-- and I wouldn't know if they have or not; I by-choice don't see their posts anymore.
