    "I am a member of the United States military"

    Hello? Human resources!

    "I threw a live frag grenade into my commanding officer's tent"

    Aww! You're so sweet!

      🧠 not getting with soldiers because of the high chance of them mistreating you / cheating while overseas

      :galaxy-brain: not getting with soldiers because you're a progressive and anti war

      :centrist: not getting with soldiers because you're a libertarian and cant stand to fuck someone who works for "the largest socialist organization in the US"

      To be fair to most burgertopians the military is basically the only explicitly non market system of production and distribution they know of or have experience with. The fact that it also works under a system of vaguely "to each from each" also helps to give the impression that the military is somehow socialism.

        the rest is just stocks in suits.

        Literally the national guard brings government surplus food to food banks and the VA is the only socialized healthcare Americans have experience with. I see how they get the impression.

        the US military is the largest reactionary force in the world

        Socialism is not when the government does stuff

            How it works internally is capitalism. Sorry not trying to be pendantic but there’s nothing socialist about the US military in practice or otherwise

              Centralized/state control versus pure corporate profit seeking. Of course, there's still the grift of capitalism going with war profiteering weapon contractors. You can't literally buy stocks of US military though.

                Socialism is an economic system in which workers own the means of production. It has nothing to do with centralized planning. If it did it would be to say our anarchist comrades aren’t socialists!

                The US military is centrally planned, by and in service of a dictatorship of the bourgeoise— the capitalist class who own the means of production and control the government, and use its institutions to further their interests. Thus it is definitionally a capitalist institution. These are, in fact, the people who would try to kill you if you attempted to install socialism by seizing the means from the capitalists.

      Biden is the only socialist president who isn’t a bloody dictator. People who say socialism always fails don’t know anything about the USSA

    There are so many girls that date military guys, I have no idea where this guy is looking. There's still so much respect around the military that this guy must intentionally be going after girls that aren't into the military.

    there's nothing more arrogantly bourgeoisie than turning your nose up at someone who joined the military to build a better life for themselves.

        I mean as someone who grew up poor in the imperial core that's really not true. If it was you wouldn't have Uber drivers

    "Less than 10% of the military sees avmctive combat"

    Love when they tell on themselves about not being able to connect larger themes.

    People also dont like the beuracrat that signs the form confirming that family of 4 we just vaporized were terrorists, or the logistics officer that makes sure the bullet gets from the factory to the back of the farmers head as quickly as possible.

    People don't just dislike the active soldiers, they dislike the people that make the things they do possible too.

    Don't worry, you'll find someone before deployment, and I'm going to keep your half of the bed warm while you're gone
