Soldaten steigen gegen Trumps Missbräuche

Not really. If soldiers were doing that Trump wouldn’t still be president. Cope article is cope.

>She’s speaking out as part of a campaign launched by About Face, a veterans’ group which today—July Fourth—is launching a “Right to Refuse” campaign arguing that service members deserve the right to refuse unlawful or immoral orders, in the hope that Congress will pass a law offering stronger protections to service members who do so. Founded by Iraq War veterans concerned about the immorality of that conflict, About Face has in recent years heard from service members with objections to sending weapons to Israel, dismantling DEI within the military, and especially, recently, the prospect of being pawns in Trump’s authoritarian fantasy, whether in the crackdown in Los Angeles or the military parade in Washington, D.C.

>Brittany Ramos DeBarros, organizing director of About Face, is an Afghanistan veteran who once faced court-martial for speaking out against that war while still in uniform. She acknowledges that Congress isn’t going to pass this law quickly enough to deal with the current constitutional crises—if at all—but she sees it as a rallying point for military communities. Families and service members need support in trying to navigate this moment, she says, and many are finding each other and organizing. From her own experience, she knows that the military can make you feel crazy if you disagree with it.

>“So I think it’s profound,” she said, “that people are organically breaking out of that enough to start talking to each other about, ‘I’m really concerned about this. What are you thinking you’re gonna do?’” DeBarros says many are wondering what is in their own best interests—but also what is the most moral choice: Is it better to resign publicly or “better to have more people within the military when that moment comes who are willing to stand up and do something and do the right thing? Which is a complicated question for people to sit with.” On the one hand, service members risk losing their benefits and going to prison if they refuse orders; but if they don’t refuse unlawful orders, she said, many will “live with the moral injury and consequences of carrying out something that they knew was wrong.”

They don’t care. ICE is going to be the military now.

Need Show, No Talk

That’s blatantly undemocratic! America voted for fascism (albeit semi-consciously, like a drunk giving his wallet to a prostitute), how dare they oppose the Will of the People! (TM).

Luckily, El Salvador is busy building nice, cozy gulags for the „homegrowns“, as Trump affectionally calls them.

My dear, fluffy homegrowns! Time to replant you to a foreign soil!

**America, the land of unlimited freedom** (not for everyone, but we don’t nitpick, do we…)

Where is this happening? I don’t believe it for a second.

No, they’re not.
