Still thinking back to my last year in the army, when I had leveled up to the point that as a CW2, technically junior to even the greenest lieutenant, I once stopped a battalion staff briefing with a facial expression.

These show-off stunts are going to eventually end badly.

Stripes: SOUTHCOM continues to expand Venezuela earthquake relief efforts
"...A humanitarian assistance center and refueling point have been established at the airport serving Caracas, Venezuela, after two earthquakes struck the country last week, U.S. Southern Command said Tuesday.
A U.S. Marine Combat Logistics Company has arrived in the country, bringing medium-sized military transport trucks, highly mobile off-road vehicles and ambulance support capabilities, SOUTHCOM said in a statement. ..."

How is it not one of these ‘warfighters’ got up and walked out in disgust?!!
If people are expecting the US military to refuse to follow illegal orders, this farce should pretty much put that foolish notion to bed.

Kegseth, the so-called Secretary of W̶a̶r̶ Defense, is literally putting a death wish on #USMIL personnel.
we already know #MAGA and all of #fascism are a death cult. the thing to remember is that all death cults are suicidal.
our job is to not get caught in their Heaven’s Gate and Jonestown delirium.

RE: https://flipboard.social/@newsguyusa/116409413448725052
there goes the theory that US military commanders would refuse illegal orders.
the gringo war machine is so huge, they could lose two-thirds and still be the largest in the world ―and with enough sociopaths to willingly do anything for war-mongering.
all because white supremacists couldn't respect a great treaty ―by international law standards― that a Black man negotiated.
getting rid of white supremacists is the new (and should have been the old) bash a fash.

Yes. I remember and no you didn't imagine it.

Hey, anyone else remember that unarmed Iranian warship that the US warcrimed the shit out of, or did I imagine that?
-
BTW
i shouldn’t have to say i give a fiddler’s fart about the backlash. if this is what it takes for #USMIL personnel to get radicalized and refuse orders, then so be it.
but it is important to note how, THE CRUELTY IS THE POINT OF #FASCISM, is not a cliché; but an accurate description of their worldview and raison d’être.
sociopaths, narcissists, machiavellians, and sadists run #MAGA. they aren’t dangerous because they're smart. THEY AREN'T SMART. they’re monomaniacal and deluded.

HOW MUCH YOU WANNA BET the vast majority of these new recruits in South Carolina are Black and Puerto Rican? https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/ice-agents-will-stationed-marine-corps-graduation-events-south-carolin-rcna265941
these #MAGA #MAHA fuckwads already egged Trump into sending #ICE into military bases to kidnap the families of active personnel; and they are using Army brats to get rid of birthright citizenship.
Marines are the literal vanguard of #USMIL invasions yet, incredibly, the racist cultists need to terrorize them in the middle of an illegal war with #Iran

Of course, you don't have to be amazing to get a student through their first ten lessons; you just need to be a little ahead of them.
With both of my students, I started with where-are-you and where-do-you-want-to-go and planned from there. "Playing guitar" is an awfully broad endeavor, after all.
Anyway, the org is legit. Musicking has been my primary coping mechanism post-Army so I'm glad I can help someone else try it on for size.

The way the VA keeps framing some of these things is supremely irritating and gross even if it may not technically violate the Hatch Act.
As though the retired #USmil community isn't already ridiculously GOP-leaning

RE: https://mastodon.social/@blogdiva/115294682139271362
Trump & his #MAGA goonsquad #shutdown the federal government back in January. #Project2025 is about completely dismantling the federal government, including #USMIL
when #corporate #mainstreamMedia write about this moment, make sure they don’t miss the most important points of Trump’s #tv #media #propaganda moment:
1. Trump is, as POTUS, openly declaring a #civilWar against unarmed civilians
2. Trump is asking USMIL generals to commit TO #genocide. he is asking for LOYALTY TO GENOCIDE.
