    A Guide to Getting Out of the US Military (Now) w/ the GI Rights Hotline

    It’s much easier than the Pentagon wants you to think. Whether you’re in the military or know someone who is, this is the definitive guide to walking away. And as Biden’s support for genocide spins out into new US wars across the Middle East, from the Red Sea to Iraq, now would be a good time to walk away.

    Featuring special guest Maria Santelli, longtime counselor with the GI Rights Hotline, which provides secure, free and expert support to any service member who wants to leave the military.

    CALL the hotline anytime at 1-877-447-4487 for advice, or visit them online at https://girightshotline.org/

    Maria is Executive Director of the Center on Conscience and War: https://centeronconscience.org/ GI Rights Hotline

      I am not sure leaving now and letting people who may not have scruples about illegal orders remain is a good idea. If anything, it may be the opposite.

        Hopefully, if the information gets out and enough people walk away, it would severely limit the ability of those who remain to do awful things.

          Unless you’re talking about 90%+ of the force resigning, they won’t struggle to backfill with poorly train and radicalized militia LARPers. Probably a much worse situation

          Good people with guns limit the ability of awful people to do awful things. Good people who give up their guns, not as much.
