The advocacy group Hots&Cots says it collected the photos from anonymous service members to push the Pentagon to fix living conditions in military housing.
You forget this, Yogthos, unless you tell they’ve started drafting people, I’m pretty sure all of them are like primed and willing to live in such conditions, if it means doing {redacted} against civilians and foreign armies
While that’s true, it’s also worth looking at how the army nearly mutinied during Vietnam. There is a limit how far you can push people, even ones that have been brainwashed by the military. The morale in US army is basically non existent after decades of forever wars.
At the same time, a substantial portion of those grunts in Vietnam were draftees; I don’t know if we’re scraping the bottom of the same depth of morale failure yet. I don’t think we are, at least. This force is still a (mostly, if you don’t count the “it’s either a prison stint or military service” enlistees) volunteer army.

Yeah, I don’t think US military is quite at Vietnam levels either. Vietnam does show that there are limits though.
Lmao that guy coughing is makes this whole thing perfect

Correct.
Still not as cringe as becoming a real troop
