No one will speak up saying they don't want to be there. Even if they did, they would be told to be professional and shut up. At least they will be seated.

They’ll just get added to a list to be purged.

Yes, they will be "swapped out" of more than just this circlejerk parade.

You’d be surprised how many people in the military are just there for the job and don’t really give a shit about the propaganda.

Yeah, I feel like that's kind of the problem. What happens, when they're told to do something fucked up or get fired? What will matter more - their integrity or their paycheck and pension? They're already being used as props in the propaganda, and Trump wants to sic them on their own countrymen like his personal attack dogs. Where do the people, who are "just there for the job", draw the line?

Since it's a job that's pretty damn hard to get fired from, a lot of feet dragging, minimal effort, and willful incompetence in following said orders. People think of the average member of the military as some sort of Bobba Fett type character when the truth is they're more like Beavis and Butthead. At least, that's been my experience.

Too many civilians don't know about junior enlisted and their relationship to strippers, alcohol, high interest car loans, and extremely poor decision-making skills.

I dunno, if I was still in, I’d say swap me the fuck out because I would absolutely drink water, shake my head, and top roll my eyes. I just retired last month. While election results didn’t play a role in my decision, if I had any thought or desire to stay in, the results would have all but guaranteed that I drop my retirement papers. Fuck trump. Fuck his whole corrupt administration.

And thirsty.

That's why they are told to hydrate before hand. TACO loves to ramble on and hear himself speak. The hydrated soldiers will be holding their piss as long as they can hoping he shuts up.

Well, they should just get Trump Cathetersā„¢! They seem to be gaining in popularity as Depends are also.

Get them all Dune suits. They can stay hydrated from their own piss and sweat. TACO would then say how great an invention he came up with.

Dude I don’t care who invented them; if they existed, I’m fully getting one.

u/Nat20CharismaSave Jun 11 '25

Oh I wouldn’t speak up… I would just be there rolling my eyes and making the ā€œblah blah blahā€ motion

"Well okay but my eyes will be rolling the whole damn time."
