Don’t be so hard on yourself. Your patriotic intentions were manipulated through this long, long used psy-op.

Instead, use your experience to educate young men and women who are seriously considering enlisting. Do you know who the recruiter is in your area, and his location?

I don’t trust the US military any more than the local cops. It’s been obvious for at least the last decade if not the last 4 or 5 decades that the military is just a bunch of armed thugs killing and dying to make rich people richer. Anyone who joins is suspect. If not treasonous, anti-American fools then they are just fools.

In that scenario there will be brother killing brother, father killing son, etc.
We know this fight for liberty will be ugly, but I for one still hold a small bit of faith in the majority of today’s military men and women. Simply because they are our sons and daughters. I could be wrong, I hope not.
I think many of them will turn on their masters. Then we have those “highly trained professionals” aiding our cause.
Nearly every military person I know is as disgusted as us. I know a few that are ready for the dance to start so they can throw off the yoke of oppression. I think our biggest military threat will be wearing blue hats and talking a multitude of languages.

Agree 100% with “some will some wont”

We have always had an element of the Military who were Elitists and thought of Civilians as UNWORTHY SHEEP that shouldn’t be able to dictate military policy nor have oversight abilities.
So its not a new trend…it reaches back to the days of our Nations birth, but since the days of The “Un-Civil War”, this monster has grown to dangerous proportions.
We were warned about the peril of ‘Standing Armies”.

Not surprising. We all know what’s coming, so do they, and training troops for future conflicts is what they do.

All the training and “desensitizing” in the world isn’t going to prepare them for being out-gunned and outnumbered by about 100 – 1

Their “highly trained professionals” are soon to be the victims of a “turkey shoot.”
