The families of US soldiers who have died in the US-Israeli war against Iran are battling to ensure they receive appropriate pay and benefits for their loved ones.
Libby Klinner, a widow, wrote on social media that the US air force had deemed her ineligible for additional benefits following the death of Major Alex Klinner, her 33-year-old husband, because Congress had not officially declared war.
He was one of six crew members of a KC-135 refuelling aircraft that crashed in western Iraq in March while supporting US strikes against Iran.
I’ve said it forever: Screwing over veterans is more American than apple pie. We’ve been doing it since the American Revolution.
I can’t imagine President Pedophile being the one to change that. He doesn’t even care enough to pretend.
He actively distains troops and veterans.
He’s a draft dodger himself. They’re only pawns in his scheme to enrich himself. It’s been the same with every president since WWII.
play stupid games win stupid prizes
Fucking disgusting Russia-tier semantics.
America doing a thing its done since its literal founding
libs: What are we a bunch of filthy foreigners??
I guess the ends meet…
Fucking assholes.
Smort move… those who had guns died, no need to pay those who don’y have weapon or treats.
For those, who still have weapons…
please stop joining the military
I 100% agree. But also, some folks have little choice as it’s the only path they have out of poverty. Could be their only chance for a decent education too.
the “have little choice” is just being able to shift guilt. we 100% know this is a genocidal fascist regime, and i have more support for someone who chooses to be gifted “life’s plan” of hardship over joining this mil.
fyi: this is the plan. the capitalists who profit from war know they can only profit if there is a cohort of poor, hungry, stupid kids they can use for the human parts.
Becoming a disposable weapon of the state is still a choice, they still have blood on their hands, whether or not the game is rigged to coerce desperate people into becoming murderers or cannon fodder
If the only path out of poverty is killing poor people abroad then I’d rather stay poor.
Honestly, if it’s this bad, why is this put up with?
For a country that has spent so much time telling others how free it is, its citizens take a lot of shit
If it’s that bad, no point waiting around any longer, shut the thing down.
I’d rather be poor than murder people 🤷♂️
The Israeli-US Alliance essentially murdered Iranian schoolgirls.
Sorry I had to serve in the SS cuz it was the only path I had out of poverty, for a chance at a decent education too, I 100% hate those Nazis please don’t put us on trial 🥺
Its not worth it.
Id rather see them in poverty than more dead girls abroad. We should start spitting on their faces again.
The military is never anyone’s only choice out of poverty. The military is a career you choose. Just because you were in poverty when you made that choice does not mean you didn’t have other choices.
Sorry i have to kill brown people. Some rape is expected, but i really didn’t have a choice.
is it a “special military operation”?
Ah yes. My withdrawal of money from the corner store isn’t robbery. 🙄
so… when are they gonna coup the orange turd stain?
Are you free on Jan 6. 2027 ?
Remember, remember, the fifth of November.
Deserved.
As in all other things, they want all of the benefits and none of the responsibilities.
Shouldnt have married a warcriminal…
That’s not how that works.
Such low fucking effort.
If it’s not officially a war, what happens if a combatant chooses not to engage?
I suspect they’d be court martialled as if it were refusing a wartime order.
They probably won’t get paid which is the main reason they are there to begin with.
So they are eating slightly more healthy than someone eating boot soles as only meal of the day, they are being deployed for months without rest and they are dying in combat (or combat-related operations) BUT they are not at war so them and their families can’t get benefits from it BUT ALSO they can’t return home because they not at war but they are at war at the same time (which is not a war because the Congress didn’t say so).
Are you trying to piss off the army and make the people with weapons turn against you? Because this is how you piss off the army and make the people with weapons turn against you.
make the people with weapons turn against you?
LOL that’d be the day.
You need critical thinking for that.Are you trying to piss off the army and make the people with weapons turn against you? Because this is how you piss off the army and make the people with weapons turn against you.
They’re gambling that the American people, including the soldiers, are too atomised and too docile. Just like unions in other exploitative industries are becoming increasingly rare. I think they’re probably correct, they ain’t gonna do shit but accept it. You’ve gotta be constitutionally a bootlicker to join the military anyway. Those people don’t have it in them to stand up for themselves unless it’s “against” their wife and kids. Maybe you’ll get an occasional guy losing it and shooting up his colleagues, the traditional way to do it.
Lol
