    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?

      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.

      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

            What the fuck kind of reply is this? This guy is saying he refused to deploy and you’re acting like he supports Trump…? What??

              American soldiers are killing innocent children in the name of a corrupt fascist pedophile, while Americans sit and watch. But of course it’s my fault.

              American wisdom right there - it’s anyone’s fault but mine.

              I am so sorry for your inconvenience, it must be difficult when the whole world turns against you, because your country is committing atrocious war crimes and raping the world. How dare the world blame Americans for that, when their elected government is doing all the shit. /s

                Blaming America is totally reasonable.

                Blaming random individuals just because they happen to live there, with no consideration for what that individual has done, is nationalism. You believe you are superior just because of the nation you’re from. Thats not a good position to hold.

                  Ahh, so convenient to distance yourself from the government YOUR people elected, TWICE. If things go great “We are the greatest nation on earth” , but when things go to shit “oh, it’s not our fault, it’s the government”.

                  You don’t even know where I’m from and what I have been through, not that it would change anything if you did know.

                  Americunts are just weak, selfish, over privileged cunts, who only ever think of themselves as the highest beings on earth due to all the brainwashing, and you love to play victims when things go to shit.

                  Honestly, I am really fed up with the American victim mentality, when you are the ones fucking up the whole world.

                  WAKE THE FUCK UP, YOU ARE NOT VICTIMS. YOU ARE THE EVIL.

                  You elected a corrupt pedophile TWICE.

                  WHAT. THE. FUCK. IS. WRONG. WITH. YOU.

                  “oH bBb…but i DiNT vOtE fOr tRUmP”

                  I feel as much sympathy for Americans as I do for Russians or Israeli zionists. You are all fucking cunts complicit in evil crimes.

                    You don’t even know where I’m from and what I have been through…

                    And it literally isn’t relevant to this discussion. However, you not knowing shit about me is relevant because you are casting judgement.

                    You don’t know if I have protested, or how I did it. You don’t know if I sabotaged things while I was in the military. You don’t know shit. If not for the fact I told I used to be in the military, you wouldn’t even know whether you were talking to an adult. Could you imagine saying what you just did to a literal child in real life? No, you’re protected by your anonymity which allows you to say whatever you want without repercussions.

                    You’re assuming I am weak-willed and haven’t done anything because of the nation I am from. You’re casting judgement on a person, not through the lens of reason but through the lens of hatred.

                    You are a hate-filled person who cannot see beyond a flag to see a human being. You are actually just as bad as the people who put Trump in power, and talking to people in the way you do will encourage them to be even more apathetic instead of getting them to do anything. You are literally helping Trump stay in power by shitting on Americans alongside him, instead of encouraging Americans to do something. Make sure to send him your invoice, bro
