U.S. Army Special Operations Command, in a lengthy study, reported a wide range of “overtly sexist” comments from male soldiers, including a broad aversion to females serving in commando units. The comments, it said, are “not outliers” but represent a common sentiment that women don’t belong on special operations teams.
“The idea that women are equally as physically, mentally and emotionally capable to perform majority of jobs is quite frankly ridiculous,” said one male commenter. Others said they’d quit before serving on a team with a female, and that serving in such a situation it would create problems and jealousy among their wives.
Nah, fuck them. I’m not fighting for the US at all. Doubly so I’m not killing for it. Why would I protect a country that hates its citizens?
Idk, try living in a country that benefits their citizens.
And US doesnt have conscription based service so what are you even on about?
Emigration from the US is next to impossible for most people who were born and raised here. Unless you have an in for citizenship elsewhere you’re fucked.
Technically we do have a conscription based service. It just hasn’t been used since Vietnam.
I’m more referring to your point of killing for country is the most noble thing, and I disagree with that on a fundamental level.
Practically we are talking about universal male conscription, you know with the amassing reserves and such, with each generation getting a thorough military training in case something goes tits up.
Killing for a country worth killing for is the most noble thing, intrinsically. The unfortunate but in some way understandable fact that you specifically don’t feel like that doesn’t mean every country is a shithole that ought to be overrun by barbarians and subjecting yourself and your kids to them is the right thing to do. Americans do benefit from the fact that your enemies are oceans away, while terrorism brings it to your doorstep every now and then. Some decent countries have to have universal male conscription just to exist. The more I think about it, the less noble and more existential killing for you country becomes, at least on the case of Finland.
