      He was already deployed to Europe and the Middle East in the past. Safe to say he had a whole fucking year to leave the military, but he chose to stay and protect the fascist pedophile regime.

        You can’t just up and leave the military any time you’d like. You have to have a significant mental breakdown and end up in a psych ward to get out easily.

            It’s honestly been refreshing yankistanis losing their collective minds and threatening to leave fediverse, when faced with a different opinion that isn’t stroking their collective predisposition and ego.

            The so called stewards of “freedom of speech”, when they’re out of their faux supremacy platforms.

              That’s a massive generalization. Yes, america is full of ignorant assholes. That doesn’t mean every american is an ignorant asshole.

            I don’t think you realize what I’m saying. You have to literally attempt suicide in order to get out of the military without waiting out your contract or removing yourself from society.

            Like, they need to be able to visibly see that you have attempted to kill yourself, and even then you have to convince them that it was real.

            Would you cut open your arm right now to prove a point?

              No, it is you who does not understand. Why would you mutilate yourself? When you wake up in the morning, just continue sleeping and don’t go. Get a new job. Hell, even some jail time is better than killing innocent children in the name of a fascist pedophile.

              It seems that many Americans have this unary thinking. Like you have one and only one option, which is to obey the fascist pedophiles.

              Ever heard of resistance?

                I have heard of resistance. I resisted.

                I was in the military, I refused to go to my deployment. They confined me to my ship until I attempted suicide.

                You’re an asshole, and you don’t know as much as you think

              You can simply refuse to deploy.
              No need to mutilate yourself or attempt suicide.
              Just say “No, I won’t go”.
              You’ll get a letter telling you where to meet your unit. Don’t go there.
              Or if you’re already with your unit, don’t get on the plane.
              Maybe you’ll spend a little bit of time in a jail cell, but even that is exceedingly rare.
              Most likely, you’ll just be dishonorably discharged to get you and your opinions away from the other soldiers as quickly as possible. You will then have to find employment with someone who doesn’t care about that.

                German instance

                Knows more about getting out of the American military than me

                I literally did that. I told them I wouldn’t go to Japan. They confined me to my ship until I attempted suicide.

                You are not all-knowing.

          It was never actually four years. The active duty contract is typically two to six years of active service, and then another four years of reserve afterwards. Basically, even after your active duty time is up, they can still call you back in (or just refuse to let you leave in the first place) for another four years.
