I did, thank you! That said, one of the reasons I was so frustrated at that point was because I am trans, and could see the writing on the wall. This was right after Trump was elected the first time. So I suppose both apply. Lol.
What? No… I was already wanting to leave because I had converted to Buddhism, and no longer felt comfortable in the military, but I was going to stick out my contract. When Trump was elected the first time, they made it administratively very hard for trans service members, so I went ahead and went IRR. I’ve organized protests against him and written speeches for 50501… that was a weird thing to jump to after someone saying they felt disenfranchised by what Trump did.
Dude… I didn’t know he was going to get elected. I didn’t vote for him, and as I’ve already said, I didn’t want to stay in at all. Are you ok?
Dude. You’re intentionally being obtuse and difficult. You can’t just leave the military no matter how disillusioned by it. It’s not a job you can quit. And even if you finish your contract the military can deny your ability to leave.
Do you think most people who serve know that, or understand that when they volunteer? It’s not something Americans are taught, which is another reason the MIC seeks to recruit so young. As I said, it was converting to Buddhism and pacifism, combined with learning more about our history and what part I wanted to play in it that made me want to leave, and the discrimination I faced after his election that made doing it immediately a necessity. I’ve done what I can since to educate myself others, and promote peace, and organize for a more just nation. I hope you are doing the same since you’re clearly passionate about the matter.
People all over the world are indoctrinating into ignorance and nationalism, and make decisions based on that until they learn otherwise, because… what else are they supposed to do? That’s why we educate people. But I don’t think you’re reachable, so have a nice day friend.
