Current Service Members And Veterans, Where Do You Stand, Politically?

[Physics-Man]

I consider myself Right-Wing, but Political Compass tests say I'm either a Centrist or someone who leans Right of the Center.

Right Or Right-Leaning

Left Or Left-Leaning

I am in the right wing. I don’t care if someone is a Republican, democrat or a member of the America party which is about to be birthed and upset the current status quo, I just want what is in the best interest of the American people and the country as a whole.

[AviatorTom]

I'm a middle of the road Independent, with some liberal views and some conservative views.

[AviatorTom]

Thanks for MHO

[OneViewpoint]

I stand with "We The People".

The Republican Party is dead. Morally. Ethically. Vision. Policy. It committed suicide with the Southern Strategy. It is now a cult crammed full of every fringe hate group and every White Christian Extremist group in the country along with leftover Republicans with nowhere else to go. The Heritage foundation, ALEC, the Federalist Society, the John birch society, et al have managed to overthrow the federal government and burn the Constitution. A massive wealth transfer to the 1% is underway. This is now the Divided States Of America.

Democrats are ineffective wimps and wussies who are also largely owned by the 1%. Look at how they vote on key legislation that benefits corporations and billionaires. Then look at how they vote on any legislation that could help the middle class or poor. They are bought and paid for just like Republicans.

The Courts have also been bought.

All of them need to be primaried and purged. We need another New Deal to gut the Oligarchs.

I'm ex military but not the American one and it's really cringe to see this sickly adoration to those who "serve" like they're somehow a higher status and of greater value than the sanitation engineers or power line workers, shipping and farm workers that break their bodies and lives every day for the everyday people exalting the "Green" military machine.

As for politics it's normal that the military tend to slip into the hierarchical mode of right wing political ideology because they LIKE the idea of class based system where one is better and more worthy than the other and seek to position themselves in that chain of privilege.

Well here in America we love our soldiers. Unlike some other countries like North Korea that send their soldiers to die in a war they were not trained well enough to fight. We love our soldiers. Anyone who says negative things about them can kick rocks, because we are grateful to those who put there lives on the line for us.

Just a couple of months ago a US navy vessel was attacked. USS Harry S. Truman. And seamen were killed. So you can just stuff your ignorant comment. Thank you.

[Shiprex]

@McLlovin Oh soldiers are everywhere regarded as servants to the state and it's weird that the US civil population seems to regard them as some kind of higher beings when they're just poor sods who are sent off to do the dirty work of rich and powerful elites that own the US government.

[McLlovin]

Our government and politicians dictate where they go. They don’t choose what wars to fight, they only chose to raise their hand to fight for us.

How you treat the people who serve you says a lot about who you are as a person let alone the person willing to fight for you.

We appreciate the men and women who risk their lives to do a job that many people wouldn’t dare want to do.

[Shiprex]

@McLlovin They're sent by the ruling classes to foreign lands to dictate to them how to exist and cause havoc to them when they're not a threat to the US

[McLlovin]

Sounds like your more upset with the government not the soldiers, but you’re attacking our soldiers with your words because you are upset that we love them despite the wars they had to go and fight in.

Let me clear up the misunderstanding. The reason America loves its soldiers isn’t because of the wars. No one wins wars, you just survive them. No matter what is said, everyone loses because people die on all sides. I am not contending the morality of an invasion or an attack. The reason we love them is because we are honored they would dare risk their lives and we are happy they return home safe for the ones that do survive.

When someone runs into a burning house to save someone do you vilify them or do you embrace them because they returned alive. War isn’t good, blame the politicians. Our soldiers we will honor them for making it through the fire.

[Shiprex]

@McLlovin not the government, the unquestionably ignorant fawning over people who've done nothing special more than, teachers, carers, nurses, police etc, doing every day jobs uet get zero respect, are taken for granted all because the culture values violence over peace.

[DrPepper12]

@McLlovin so simplistic a view. Soldiers can be judged too. As for we love our soldiers I have some Vietnam vets I'd like you to meet

[DrPepper12]

Correct @Shiprex

[alli-112]

I'm not military, but of the two army guys I know, one has become significantly more right-leaning since finishing his time in the army, and the other is fairly left-leaning over all, though some of his opinions I'm not sure where fall. He's just kind of chaotic in general though.

[Apple1996]

Me and my husband are mostly apolitical. We feel its best to not take sides and my husband teaches his soldiers to be that way as well at least while they're at work. Politics just cause unnecessary drama

[virgo2267]

I give your husband great respect for doing what he does. Politics has no need in the military… everyone is the same color (green) serving the same flag

[BadApple69]

The left hate this country. They don’t like to fight for it.

[DrPepper12]

I'll let those left leaning minorities who "volunteer" take that up with you

[Anonymous]

I'm not a veteran, and I'm not very political.

[TwoToTooTutu2]

Monarchist.

[Pterodon]

I’m MAGA

[virgo2267]

You need to rethink your life

[Pterodon]

@virgo2267 not about too

[Kingofkings1992]

@virgo2267 if that’s what works for him, it’s what works. You don’t get to tell anyone else that their beliefs, whether political or anything else, have to fall in line with yours.

[virgo2267]

You sound like a proud boy right now… please keep reading your bible and limit the need for attention

[Kingofkings1992]

@virgo2267 who reads the Bible? Certainly not me lmao

[virgo2267]

Your not smart as I thought. Stay in school and be good to yourself first before worrying about others

[Kingofkings1992]

@virgo2267 yep, that’s some solid advice. Perhaps you should consider putting it in to practice yourself. My not as smart as you thought? Did you mean to say “you’re?” Oh, the irony is palpable
