He’s just going to lie about it some more
The military is a large voting block…
Traditionally it goes R, because they expand the military, which means more people get promotions.
But I guarantee everyone in the Navy and Marines know what’s happening, and that trump doesn’t give a fuck.
Air Force is basically an evangelical death cult at this point, and who knows about army since they’re not deployed.
But Republicans will likely lose the military in midterms over this.
It absolutely should be brought up more, every time he lies, he loses military votes. And a lot of military members are still eligible to vote in the small red states they came from. And their friends and family know how they’re treated too.
This isn’t “war” and it’s justifiable, they’re just sitting there
I really hope all the vets get behind this too, and aren’t like
“These new kids must be coddled and squishy, back in my day we’d do 563 days at sea, and battle scurvy outbreaks! And arm wrestle giant squids! Republicans are just tough on these soft kids yarrr.”
But in seriousness, I think they’ll finally recognize the complete lack of respect in return for their service. This admin has always loudly called them disposable, but this might just tip them.
Nah, 9 months is insane…
When I was in one hit 6 months, with none of these supply issues, and it hit morale fleetwide.
This isn’t even really “armed conflict” and there’s no logical reason not to rotate the ships out except they don’t want to. We do that in actual wars and peace time. The Lincoln and all it’s support are going to be there indefinitely.
Anyone that gets sent anywhere, will be there indefinitely.
A shit ton of norms are being violated, and even Republican voters not voting is an advantage, they don’t have to flip.
I’m a sailor, but not military. I have done 9 months at sea before, it’s tough but doable.
However 9 months without knowing when you’re going home is diabolical. We had people going insane during covid when no one knew when the ports would allow us to come in again.
I’m a sailor, but not military
Oh ok, so you have no idea what its like, but still wanted to share you’re unrelated ancedotal experience.
Just like when someone asks an astronaut a question, I chime in because I once rode in a hot air ballon
Oh. I apologize then. The experience of being on a boat for an extended period of time seemed somewhat related.
I hope my unwanted contribution did not ruin your day.
I’m sure they’ll write an angry letter
Just one more Injunction bro. Please, one more. We’ll get him with the next one bro. We just need one more Injunction bro. That’ll fix it bro. Just one more bro.
Maybe if people didn’t like it they’d have given them any power. Hmm
Maybe if the dem leaders cared about the voters issues and didnt support genocide they’d have some power.
Party leadership would rather everyone live under fascism than do either.
How come “false” reporting about the military is treasonous,
BUT Trump lying about their condition is not?
When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal.
