      When i went through the Marines it was made clear to us that if orders to do something put us in a moral quandary then they probably aren’t lawful orders. This was because they didn’t ever want more Nazis who follow orders blindly like we saw in the Nuremberg trials. Now it just seems like there are so many bootlickers who are just dumbass robots that have human bodily functions and no sense of real morality, and far too few have the courage to question or ignore orders that shouldn’t be followed.

      My point is we need more Hugh Clowers Thompson Jr’s and less Adolf Eichmann’s in this world.

      I guarantee that every one of these national guard soldiers had immigrant ancestors at some point. They are literally spitting in the face of their own kind. But I don’t just blame them, I blame fascist pissholes like Greg Abbott who haven’t a shred of human decency or empathy and enable this kind of sickness to go on. And on. And on. And on. And on. And on.

      I want to argue but I remember being in and about to “deploy” to a US city years ago. Some of the dumb fucks were talking about hoping a protester starts something so he can get some hits in.

      Like fuck, we should be trying to protect them from the cops not trying to instigate another riot.
