Ryan, please have on the veteran quoted extensively in this article and others open to speaking on their experiences with not being fervently pro-genocide while serving the U.S. armed forces.

One guy in nine months is indeed a slow spread. At this pace we'll be at 3 guys by the end of 2025.

When was the last time an Air Force engineer resigned over US policy?

Not the point but there are actually some soldiers trying to become conservative influencers off of quitting or being forced out of the military over the vaccine mandate

Easy to find articles already archived that way.

Heck, you can set-up your AutoMod to do this for you and comment a link.

I think this is the perfect example of anti semitism. Lets unpack the statement.

"I dont want to be working on something that can turn around and be used to slaughter innocent people"

From the article he was working on missile guidance. At any point in time that can be used to slaughter innocent people. In fact its kind of in the job description for military research. Clearly he has never had a problem before and only had a problem with it now.

Ok so were at the point were he only had the problem for it when it was used by Israel against Gaza specifically.

There were no problems when it could be supplied to Saudi Arabia for example or even used by the US in places like Afghanistan, Iraq, and even more recently Yemen.

What would be the differentiator then between Israel, US, Saudi Arabia and others? Is it the democratic nature of Israel? No US is a democracy. Is it because Israel is an apartheid with no voting rights for Palestinians in occupied terrtory? Well KSA is a straight up monarchy with no voting rights for anyone. Is it genocide? Well clearly he had no problem with Yemen and other deployments.

So what are we left with? The only thing seems to be that the majority of Israel is Jewish.

If this is the “perfect example of anti semitism” then the term has no useful meaning, and is a joke.

Which maybe was your point? I’m going to pretend that was your point.

He was specifically working on missile guidance in Israel, not any of the places that you mention.

lol. Missile guidance is missile guidance. Our systems are modular. It doesnt matter where your office is if you research something in Israel it can be used anywhere.

Huge difference in saying that a weapons system can be used to kill tons of innocent people and that it is being used to kill tons of innocent people.

It’s also missile guidance. IE the thing that controls the missile and make sure it blows up your target instead of a school full of chillins.

He just doesn’t like helping israel and is willing to resign over it. Whether that’s because he hates Jews or just the state of Israel is debatable though.

Hey now that you've banned me from posting twice a day, instead of using your alt account 3-4 times a day you grew a pair and started posting in your regular account twice a day while using your alt account acceptable farms twice a day. Which I called out months ago.

How funny is that as soon as you implement a new 2 post a day rule you start posting instead of acceptable farms breaking the rules

I am the breaker that is unbroken
