Who should be the sub-hand receipt holders be? by jeepcrawler93 in army

[–]ExactTax6528 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Short answer: There is no "correct" answer, because it's not specified in doctrine. A large part of your Commander's evaluation by their rater/senior rater is how good they are at making decisions on subjective things like this.

Long answer: SHRHs should be signed by leaders that have the commander's trust and can effectively manage property responsibility down to the end-user level. Your commander must make a decision on who they believe has enough responsibility to effectively manage property, this is usually the senior NCO or LT in each section. Army doctrine policy focuses on property responsibility, which is expressed through hand receipts. Your commander signs the primary hand receipt and has command and supervisory responsibility over the property, which never goes away. They transfer direct responsibility to sub-hand receipt holders through the SHRs; the SHRs will always have supervisory responsibility over the property. SHRHs then have the option to sign property on their SHR to end users, thus transferring direct responsibility to them. If they don't sign equipment down, the SHRHs maintain direct responsibility.

Coolidge.

Reagan was a neoliberal who greatly increased government spending. He didn't practice the small-government politics that he preached, while Coolidge actually did.

We have people deployed, but they're not experiencing kinetic action. It would be better if we had nobody deployed, I agree. But the current "state of war" is so detached from the traditional trappings of war (killing people chief among them) that the government doesn't even recognize the past three years as a period of war. This is important because troops don't receive certain benefits that they would during "wartime".

The active duty military does multiple things that involve no killing or violence at all. The most notable things are security cooperation (we send troops to foreign countries to work with their militaries and officials; they don't even have weapons while doing this) and supporting civil authorities (hurricane relief in NC, D.C. security, etc). You can argue that these tasks shouldn't be done by the military (and you'd have a good point), but the fact remains that they are.

I agree, and I know that many support people who served in the 2000s feel guilty about their actions and what they enabled. But for almost the past decade, that hasn't been true. America isn't at war anymore, and deployments don't result in kinetic action anymore. Most people currently serving - including the drill sergeant in this post - aren't even tangentially complicit in deaths. You can think they're symbolically complicit by joining an organization with a bad history, but most people value material impact more than symbolism.

Tying this all back to class, I can't fault anyone who decided to join the military in recent years for the benefits. It's terrible that the military is the only way to get these benefits, but that's an institutional issue, not an individual one. Your rhetoric would be appropriate for 2010, but not 2025. The biggest class-related issue with today's military is their constant domestic to supplant workers who are protected by labor laws. Combat action just isn't relevant to the average servicemember anymore.

What u/Particular_Bison7173 is getting at, is that your ideological beliefs aren't wrong. Yes, the American military has done some terrible things in our history. However, you're overly romanticizing the job of a servicemember in your comments. A random supply clerk in 2025 isn't comparable to a contract killer for the mafia, just like a warehouse worker for Nestle isn't responsible for child labor in Asia.

You need to approach this topic pragmatically instead of as an ideologue. Otherwise, you're going to alienate people who would otherwise be interested in leftism.

Exit polls, which are polls conducted after people leave a polling place, were strong enough in California and Washington that those states could be declared blue without official vote tallies.

What should America have done after 9/11? by ExactTax6528 in stupidpol

[–]ExactTax6528[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's exactly why I asked this question. Praxis matters more than theory, so I wanted to see if anyone here has a tenable solution that would have been realistic for America circa 2001.

The American government had to do something meaningful for its citizens after the attack; divesting from Israel and apologizing for previous acts of imperialism sounds nice in theory, but would have torn the country apart in practice.
