Look at the lines of Military families having to stand in line to receive food. Federal workers and the military aren’t getting paid because of the MAGA shutdown which happened because Republicans are afraid the Epstein files will get released.

    Absolute shit take. The vast majority of enlisted members joined because they had no other opportunities. Kids, literal children who couldn’t afford college without a scholarship, or maybe wanted to be a pilot and couldn’t afford training. Immigrants who would risk their lives just to fast track citizenship.

    Not to mention that’s fucking Nellis AFB, aka Area 51. Those are engineers, scientists, mechanics, test pilots, and probably a bunch of desk jockeys. None of those people joined the military to murder people.

      And yet every single one of them will. If they don’t, they will lose all that stuff they went in for. They will go to jail. They will be dishonorably discharged.

      None of those people will ever risk that.
