    Giving the entire US Army the “just following orders” cop out, incredible. Going to need a gastroenterologist to get that boot out

      Demonstrate (using the law) how the army can tell congress that “no we aren’t going to send the ammo to place x” if the congress says “send it there”.

        I’d demonstrate (using my ass) sitting on my hands and not participating in mass murder of Palestinian children. The very premise of “just following orders” is that there is a legal or duty bound obligation. I didn’t care for it when Nazis used it and I don’t for it when someone two letters from Andrew Tate is spilling it from their thin, Ben Shapiro flavoured lips

          Let’s see all the ways you are wrong.

          The ta has nothing to do with Tate. It was in my handle on Reddit before the world became aware of tate.

          If you are in the army and are ordered to ship ammo some where and don’t. At Best you get a dishonorable discharge. That fucks you up for life. At worst you wind up in prison. That really fucks you up for life.

          You want to complain and do something to fix the problem? Yell at congress.

          Try figuring out how the world works.

            Nothing dishonorable about not dismembering children, maybe don’t sign up to be a tacti-cool pig in the first place.

            The world “works” in lots of ways, you don’t have to deepthroat the evil running it
