Cause I've personally had no freedom I was put into a psychiatric hospital because of my religious and political beliefs and so even I'm thinking the idea of freedom is a mockery and a sham in this country it's just for show.

Military members hold no political influence, you could be disrespecting the uniform if you use it as a political message because it might be something the military might not agree with.

Sure you die for a country but that's also a pretty backwards part when you think about it. I can look up to military members killed in combat I'm considered patriotic I mourn the martyrs of Palestine and I'm seen as a terrorist sympathizer by our government.

If anything freedom is a subjective subject but really veterans hold no political influence. Especially Aaron Bushnell proves this the US killed him and nothing has changed. We want to leave a US military member in the dirt because he sacrifice for a cause other than the cause of a country but showing the true problems that are faced by both Palestinians and Muslim Americans. If I hadn't been placed in a psychiatric hospital for my religious beliefs I would probably think his meaning was in vain but having gone through what I had to go through I get it Aaron Bushnell was murdered by the government.

The government trumps the military and it's members. So who really gives us freedom? The military or the government in charge of every factor of this country.

If Ukraine is nuked by Russia would USA nuke Russia? Would USA risk dropping on Moscow and end the world for the sake of Ukraine sovereignty?

I don't think they would do anything if Russia used 1 bomb

I posted a video in honour of all soldiers

Now I’m not a giant expert when it comes to military stuff and geopolitics so that’s why I came here to ask you guys

After seeing a map of nato countries (most of them European)

Should war with nato come how cooked is Russia? It’s been 2 years since their 3 day military operation soooooo

(No Nukes btw)

So I was wondering does any branch of the military have use for intense torture to interrogations? Like I have so many methods I wish to test and I’ve studied so many methods. If they do can someone link the sign up?

So my account doesn’t get shunned from comment karma. At least I wish to use this in a good way lol. Also for thy who said I’m an edgy little turd. If I am edgy I don’t mean to be though I’ve also had an interest in torture and killing since I was 4 when I used to step on birds. Though I haven’t taken any type of life since as it is un moral. Though maybe I could use my psychotic tendencies in a good way to benefit the country. Also then I could have some fun too. Life’s rather boring unless I’m getting the best thrill.

Not an expert by any means on the topic, I hope knowledgeable people here can expand my knowledge. How are we responding to these drone tactics? If a small inexpensive drone can take out our main battle tank, what can be done to counter this threat?

And more generally, has the (creative) use of drones by both Ukraine and Russia changed (our) battlefield thinking?

It is a misconception that the military consists of cohesive minds on the ground. You understand on day one, when you enlist or are conscripted, that you're mixed in with different people, from different backgrounds. Some see an opportunity to act with impunity. Bastards!

You don't have to go beyond basic training to end up with a lot of conflicts, fights and where cuttlery, becomes a weapon at breakfast, because someone didn't get a fair share of the food on the tray.

Every soldier is under pressure all of the time. Little pay and, in my experience, that had to pay for everything and that included decent polish to make my boots shine. Shitty drink mixes to make water taste good and hydrate, blah blah blah.

Almost no sleep, because you're prepping for inspection way into the early hours and again after breakfast, ready for inspection.

Low night temperatures and day temperatures that reached 49 degrees C (120f) in the shade. Situps and press ups on devil thorns. You might get a little tetchy.

Over time, you figure most of that out, get the dickheads in line and have an adhesive company.

My Science teacher would be proud that I know the difference betwen cohesion and adhesion.

To all our brothers out there; Salute! Get home!

I ask the soldiers in any conflict just this, if you must; Military targets only. Don't be a fuck up.

If I've served two years and looking to get medboarded… does my 80 % of GI bill only apply to tuition or BAH as well?

Preface: I’m 17 and currently applying to ROTC scholarship, NROTC marine option scholarship, and getting a congressional reccomendation for USMA and hope to go back into the reserves in which ever scholarship I end up receiving\choosing.

So I'm obviously not in the military but I'm a huge nerd for military topics now I've read about some absolute disgraces to my countries army particularly robert bales and nidal hassan who are imprisoned at Leavenworth I can't find information on the prison most likely for obvious reasons but I'm curious on what the conditions are like for these two "men" in particular are they isolated ? How do other inmates and formerly inacerted service men fell about them

I’ve been aware of AFVClub for a couple of decades, but have never pulled the trigger for one reason or another. I am curious about everything the site has to offer, both Basic and Premium, but what landed me here today was looking at what AFVClub has to offer for cruises, including any perks not available to civilians. Never gave it a thought over the years until now. Thought asking a wider base would be a good place to go, so here I am.

For those who have used AFVClub, I’d like to hear your experiences, good and bad, pros and cons, resorts, hotels, rental cars, cruises, vacation packages, gifting to family. Did you use Basic or Premium? Is Premium worth it? Is AFVClub worth it compared to Costco Travel or a similar site?

Any and all help is appreciated.

Should I join the military if I have ligyrophobia/sonophobia/phonophobia/astraphobia? I have it pretty badly (had it all my life) but I want to join for self-discipline, leadership skills, and communication skills. I heard they have decent engineering activities. Also I don't want to ever go to war.
