Flight-tracking websites showed dozens of Air Force aerial refueling planes departing from military bases in the United States and heading to Europe on Sunday, fueling speculation of direct U.S. involvement in the widening Israeli-Iranian war.
Military-focused news sites reported that around 30 U.S. Air Force KC-135R and KC-46A tankers were identified by flight-tracking software in what The Times of Israelcalled an “unprecedented mass deployment” to Europe.
I’d just like to take this opportunity to say “fuck you” to all the service people flying these planes, planning the logistics, and otherwise operating at the behest of our sadistic federal government. Sure, the civilian leadership is ultimately at fault here, but y’all are humans with agency. I’m no longer carving out culpability from these goddamn people anymore. Fuck you terrorists. If we escalate yet another war, I’ll plan to spit on you when you arrive back broken and dead. Bring on the downvotes.
It’s been decades that our military has been nothing but an imperialist boot. There is no moral ground to stand on in signing up. Work fast food.
Always. Even the continental army was set up to facilitate and enable genocide.
Decades implies that it once (in USAs history) wasn’t so, which is false. The rest of it if very true tho.
But fast food won’t guarantee housing or healthcare. Military recruitment preys on those with nowhere else to go.
How hard is it to just not kill others?
Apparently really fucking hard for some.
Instead of “thank you for your service” I guess we’ll have to start saying, “fuck you for your service”
I was thinking the same about the national guard deployed to LA.
I was hoping to find at least one article that focuses more on that part, but until then: what you said.
We - everywhere - need to talk about soldiers as people, not “the military”.
The nuremberg defense didn’t work for the nazis, why should it work for zionists?
Completely
