      Tell me you’ve never served without telling me you’ve never served. You don’t get to just leave. You can choose to not re-enlist. But even under previous presidents the penalty for desertion was hefty. Under Orange muffin I wouldn’t risk deserting.

        You’d rather terrorize US citizens than desert?

        You’d rather be a cog in the Reich than desert?

        You are literally the type of person that my Grandad was paid to kill during WW2

          Look all of us are right in this thread stop fighting each other.

          Andrew is talking about the contracts that bind people to stay in over the course of their career/position he is not agreeing to help terrorize citizens. Also, better we have people on our side in the inside ready to do their part when a critical moment comes. We do not want a military filled with just lunatics in it. I hope you understand that

          Everyone leaving military is horrible idea and silently not following orders is a valid option.
