Army Vet: “It was a blatant f***ing lie.”
I am interested in all perspectives of ex military people. I want to know the opinions of those who protect(ed) us.
You forgot the primary use of the military:
*Move shit from place to place.
The killing people and breaking stuff is the contingency plan in case the locals don’t approve of the logistical strategy.
I was an Army infantryman, we are real keyed in on the “Kill the enemy and break his stuff” part of the equation.
We knew what we signed up for.
The folks who sign up to get a good deal on college are likely to be upset.
So people are like "Oh, you are going to force me to dress in a certain way? You're going to force me to be called a certain thing or call others a certain thing?" and it's like "Yes, dumbass. That's exactly what joining the military is."
If there was a new doctrine that said that all hetero men are to wear sequined dresses into combat, guess what? The hetero men are wearing the sequined battle dresses. Because you're in the goddamned military.
I'm a civilian and always have been, but none of this is a secret, it's what it has always been. (And if I'm wrong I'm wrong, tell me I'm wrong and I'll adjust my worldview)

One of my favorite stories in all my military service is the Infantryman psyche evaluation.
They would have all the infantry guys turn their papers over and let everyone else fill out their psyche evals and then leave the room.
When it was just infantry guys they would have us turn over the paper, write our names on the top and then begin the “litany of sanity”.
