Wait, you're upset that the military is instilling fear in the service members by telling them that associating with fascist dictators and their cronies will jeopardize their military career?
I mean, that's just common fucking sense, that's not fear mongering. It's a simple reminder of their Oath Of Enlistment, which every service member takes.
If you aren't working to uphold the constitution, you can be dishonorably discharged. Full stop.
Did you forget about the failed auto coup attempt or something?
They didn't forget, but its their mission to make sure their viewers do.
This isn’t fear mongering. You cannot participate in political rallies etc in uniform.
Edit: this is more of a weekend safety brief thing
At issue was a planned Nov. 17 event dubbed the "Dakota Patriot Rally" at the state fairgrounds in Minot, and the text warned personnel "to be cautious" if they were in the area, especially because some rally-goers "could be confrontational to military members."
I can't find the original, supposedly it was on a snco/nco/amn Facebook page.
I get that you trust people to know Fox is full of shit, but why use them as a source then?
What? Who's the enemy here, what are you talking about?
You over-estimate my intelligence.🤪
Paywall, and Fox News.
Lemmy users are just as dumb and biased as anywhere else.
Humans anywhere are humans anywhere.
People are people, so why should it be you and I should get along so awfully?
