      I don’t think you realize what I’m saying. You have to literally attempt suicide in order to get out of the military without waiting out your contract or removing yourself from society.

      Like, they need to be able to visibly see that you have attempted to kill yourself, and even then you have to convince them that it was real.

      Would you cut open your arm right now to prove a point?

          I have heard of resistance. I resisted.

          I was in the military, I refused to go to my deployment. They confined me to my ship until I attempted suicide.

          You’re an asshole, and you don’t know as much as you think

        You can simply refuse to deploy.
        No need to mutilate yourself or attempt suicide.
        Just say “No, I won’t go”.
        You’ll get a letter telling you where to meet your unit. Don’t go there.
        Or if you’re already with your unit, don’t get on the plane.
        Maybe you’ll spend a little bit of time in a jail cell, but even that is exceedingly rare.
        Most likely, you’ll just be dishonorably discharged to get you and your opinions away from the other soldiers as quickly as possible. You will then have to find employment with someone who doesn’t care about that.

          German instance

          Knows more about getting out of the American military than me

          I literally did that. I told them I wouldn’t go to Japan. They confined me to my ship until I attempted suicide.

          You are not all-knowing.

      It’s honestly been refreshing yankistanis losing their collective minds and threatening to leave fediverse, when faced with a different opinion that isn’t stroking their predisposition and ego.

      The fragility of so called stewards of “freedom of speech”, when they’re out of the platforms catering to their faux supremacy.

        I have yet to see anything like that…Are these Americans threatening to leave the fediverse in the room with us now?

        That’s a massive generalization. Yes, america is full of ignorant assholes. That doesn’t mean every american is an ignorant asshole.
