So, is the WWII memorial in DC going to be torn down, because that’s 100% Antifa?
-
Wouldn't put it past this administration.

They might try.

I always found wierd how many american try portrait "antifa" as a terrorist movement or smth lol brother, if it wasnt thanks to "antifa" in 1945 you d be a leather boot

Thank you for your service, both in the military and in our current situation.

The shit US military has done since 1945 has definitely been more pro-fascist than anti-fascist. Unless this dude is like 100 years old (he's not) I don't think this is the antifa uniform.

You are using a modern, privileged metric informed by an intensive media penetration that was unavailable during the first three campaigns you mention, and only to a slightly higher degree in the last two.
Most enlisted I have known, and it's a lot, thought they were defending the world from despots. Hell, even the officers I know initially thought they were serving the public good. The rest I know who don't fit into that category just wanted to be able to afford college and a family.
And even if the Marine in the picture knows NOW he only served a bloodthirsty tyrannical regime, the fraternity of the USMC, the commitment to the Constitution... It's some deep, deep connection. Even the most disillusioned Marines I know are still loyal to the Corps and the Constitution. Moreover, it is better that one realizes US hegemony later than never, yes? So how about we welcome those have opened their eyes and remedied their ways?
Or we can just keep shitting on allies and see how that works for us.

It's one of those rare occasions I wish I could break Lemmy and upvote this comment more than once. Thank you.

Thank you. Jesus. The guys I've always been friends with served. Weird how that worked out because I didn't. They mostly say, "Didn't give a shit, it was a job." LOL, two of my tightest friends went AWOL and got kicked, not even a dishonorable discharge.
One of my only current friends is my black Marine neighbor. Hate to say, "I'm OK, got a black friend.", but it's relevant, particularly given the Marine pictured. He joined, did his best job, now he's out, not retired, only 30. At least he has some benefits and bought a brand-new house on my block. Also moved in the finest "girl next door" I've ever seen. :) (My ex's daughter. 🙄)
I joke, but seriously, this guy is suffering alcoholism, but at least he's got some backup from the government. Guess I need to visit more often. I try to drag him out now and again, get shot down, excuses. Need to press the attack.

Vietnam had tons of media showing exactly what was going on, which is why there were so many people protesting it.

You are being disingenuous, leftists always knew those were sham wars. This was not hidden information back than any more than we knew there were no WMD's in Iraq.
Likewise just because someone is gullible and stupid enough to buy into their countries propaganda about being the good guys, that does not in any way excuse their war crimes. Many Russians in Ukraine legit believe they're the good guys fighting Western Nazi's, they're not and neither is the US army fighting communists or terrorists or whatever *ist you want to use to label the people of the country you want to dehumanise.
And guess what if he knows NOW and recognises US imperialism, he should take that fucking uniform off and throw it in the fire. You know those vets who threw away their medals and denounced the military after their wars? Those are the few who actually came around and know better NOW.
Americans are not my ally? You're a revolting nation comparable with Russia or China.

Yeah, why even bother to distinguish between the authoritarians trying to seize permanent control of the most powerful country in the world, and every US soldier who's ever served?
Fuck off.

While difference between giving and following orders is meaningful, that does not free the latter people from responsibilities.
Obviously that doesn't condemn every soldier for the horrible shit their country have done (Cambodia?..) but this "respect the uniform" crap is also ridiculous.

Obvious troll.

Didn’t even try hard, just some whataboutism 2/10

They call it collateral damage. Or is it casualties?! A few hundred thousand in Iraq. Plus a few tens of thousand in Afghanistan. And maybe some torture here and there.
And I doubt this person is old enough to have fought literal fascists.
All heroes for participating in the glorious defence of
capitalismdemocracy.-
It becomes a double standard when you think about the literal Nazi generals pretty quick.
These people thought they are saving the world and were usually one of the "sacrifices" by the actual politicians doing all the bloodshed.
They risked their lives and went through hard training just to "protect this country" too.
Yet a bunch of medals and being in the army tells me they aren't clueless and had an idea of what politicians are actually doing. A good chunk of them even today see it as "just a job I was doing."

Hey we have a military industrial complex products millions of tons of
explosivesAmerican Freedom™ and we gotta use it -
Yeah Americans love making up words to justify their actions to themselves.
“Oh no I didn’t drone strike that wedding and kill that 4 year old girl, that was collateral damage from me killing the super bad guy. I’m a hero!”

Thank you for being someone of sense. People who spread this shit have no clue of the history of the antifascist movement and what it stands for. The antifascist movement is against everything that the rotten country that is the US stands for; the US military uniform is not, and never will be, a symbol of antifascism.

It definitely was for at least a few years in the 40s

I might be out of the loop - is this a known fascist, a public figure whose politics we know?
Either way, he is a Master Sargent in the US Marine Corp. He took an oath to defend the Constitution and not a single person or party. His power is bestowed by the people he is sworn to serve. If he is wearing that uniform with honor, that uniform is most definitely anti-fascist.
Pretty sure the joke of this is exactly what you said - defending the Constitution makes you anti-fascist
Its no joke.
Yeah, that's the point.
That's the point.
Upholding the oath requires defying the president. Trump doesn't understand this because he's an egomaniac. But it's interesting that military personnel are starting to feel comfortable enough to actually post about this. I still wonder what would happen if the order was given to fire on protesters.
The Trump administration will need to MAGAfy the army before they can do this.
And there ain't too many Master Sergeants. At E-8, most dudes go first sergeant and take on an administrative role. This guy said I want to keep doing infantry shit. All the respect in the world for guys who take the hard path.
How did you see the photo but not the captions?
What captions
Thank you, I had no idea what uniform that was (not American).
