the US Coast Guard operates in the Persian Gulf lol

quote:

Iran's Navy once again harassed US ships operating in the Persian Gulf, this time coming within 68 yards of the ships on Monday night, prompting one of the American ships to fire warning shots, according to Cdr. Rebecca Rebarich, a spokeswoman for the US Navy's Fifth Fleet.

Three fast inshore attack craft from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy came within 68 yards of the USS Firebolt, a Navy patrol coast ship, and the Coast Guard cutter Baranoff, Rebarich said in a statement.

The Iranian ships kept operating close to the US vessels despite repeated bridge-to-bridge warnings and the use of loud-hailer devices. In response, the Firebolt fired warning shots, Rebarich said, at which point the Iranian ships backed away to a safe distance.

a lot of people are frustrated and someone just popped up and (inadvertently?) made themselves a lightning rod for all that frustration.

it's 100% true that some people are indoctrinated into the military - be it by family tradition, nationalist propaganda, or whathaveyou.

It is also 100% true that some people are leveraged into the military - guy I roomed with for a while, retired marine was basically given the choice between Parris Island and juvie, he picked Parris island and got to watch african war lords rape little kids through the scope of a sniper rifle and drinks to blackout so he can try and forget every little kid he let get raped to protect us oil/diamond/whatever interests in west africa.

lastly, individuals are ultimately responsible for their actions.

poo poo's hosed, imo.

e: said marine eventually woke up one day in a bed in leavenworth after, in his own words, "double-tapping the last rapist i'd have to see's spine right out of his rear end in a top hat"

We're all complicit if you think about it. The person working a min wage job at mcdonalds, the person finding the drone target, the person operating drones, and me the person who pressed the kill button on the drone.

its funny because individualism has so poisoned our brains that we can't comprehend the middle ground between someone participating in a mass movement and someone being allowed to lead and guide it.


like if a mass movement ever happens there will even be former cops amongst those participating and that is good. but they shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a place of leadership and that's also good.

Kinda like insisting that anyone who eats meat isn't a real leftist?

Because that's the particular reason that people are mad at baw, not just the drone poo poo on it's own, it's the combination of the two.

existence as a member of the american fascist state (read: being a citizen or living in america) is itself an unethical existence, everything about modern american life is built on the exploitation, suffering, or death of some capital-o Other.

oh wait you meant "responsibility OVER life and death"
