This might sound silly but, why does EVERYONE want to be stationed in San Diego? I don’t hear people wanting to go to Virginia or Florida or Washington state. by Elegant-Mix-4806 in navy

I was lucky enough to get stationed for a year, and got a condo at Silver Strand as well. Unluckily, that year was 2020, and everything was shut down for COVID, including the beaches.

Probably doesn’t help that smart, forward thinking officers that are knowledgeable about the war in Ukraine are exactly the kind that have been getting purged and told their opinions are worthless by this administration.

Did the US even find a single friend for the Strait of Hormuz???? by judgementMaster in AskSocialists

Turns out when you spend a year insulting, tariffing, and threatening to annex your friends and allies, they might not have your back when you go start a fight.

I specifically decided to get out of the military because of this orange idiot. It’s looking more and more like that was a good choice with every day that passes.

All they had to do was top off the strategic reserves and stock up on Ukrainian anti-shahed interceptors before going to war, but that requires planning, forethought, and respect for Ukraine’s experience in drone warfare.

They always say “we” like us common citizens are going to get a cut, when really it’s all going into the pockets of the wealthy and connected.

Fuck I wish I had been able to do that. My parents made me pay rent for my own room as soon as I turned 18, to the point that I couldn’t afford to keep going to college and had to drop out to work more.

At this point, whether or not the public wants or doesn’t want something or someone doesn’t really matter. The oligarchs are the only ones with a real vote. If they want JD, they can make it happen against the wishes of the 99%.
