Netflix is dogshit now anyways. Never payed for it, never will.
Yeah maybe "enlist" is not the right word then. Still, his labor would have been directly going towards genocide.
Max Blumenthal brings up an important point: Aaron Bushnell - possibly among other Air Force members - were enlisted against their will to participate in the Palestinian Genocide:
US Airman Aaron Bushnell did not kill himself to protest some other country's war
The US Department of Defense has compelled the participation of Air Force members like Bushnell in Israel's Gaza genocide
Their orders to deploy to Israel read "mandatory"

THE SEALS AND THE DHOW - Seymour Hersh
In which we recall the 2 dead and 1 severely injured Navy Seals from that anti-smuggling operation that was kept under wraps but we all were distracted by the horrors of what's going on in Gaza:
The Somali dhow offered the White House a chance to justify its new offensive. It had been tracked by American intelligence since leaving Somalia because it was believed to be carrying ballistic missile parts needed by the Houthis in their ongoing campaign against Western shipping; The basis for that intelligence, which proved to be wrong, has not been made known.
American intelligence? Wrong? Damn audio is playin on loop
Back to the Lewis B. Puller. The more than a dozen senior officers from all services assigned to the ship’s command center were gung-ho to send the hot-shot SEAL team to intercept the dhow, compel the boat to stand to, and board it to find ballistic missiles or parts of weapons that were coming to the Houthis from Iran, known to American intelligence as a longtime supporter and supplier of weaponry to Yemen. But there was a serious problem. The issue is what is known in the Navy as the Sea State Code, which is based on terminology used in oceanography to describe the general conditions of the ocean’s surface, as determined by three key factors: wind, waves, and swell.
There are ten categories of sea state, and SEALs can operate with ease and safety up to sea state 3. One experienced retired senior American Navy officer told me that even four- and five-foot waves can sometimes create difficulties for a Navy tanker attempting to refuel an aircraft carrier, but it can be done with skilled maneuvering. No ship loaded with high-octane fighter fuel wants to crash into the side of a carrier.
When the seas get higher, to level 4 or 5, the waves and stronger current make boarding a targeted vessel, even a wooden dhow, an extremely dangerous prospect, in part because of the difficulty in handling steel ladders, known as caving ladders, that are standard SEAL boarding gear. The steps are lightweight aluminum tubes linked by equally lightweight steel cables.
What is hard to do at sea state 3 is deadly dangerous at sea state 4 or 5, a retired Navy officer, with years of experience in special operations, told me. “The waves are going up and down eight feet and more and you do not board a ship in heavy sea,” he said. He added that Navy captains of combat ships finishing a long deployment understand that crews due for shore leave are not permitted to leave the ship in such churning waters.
RuZZian propaganda against our Navy SEAL high level operators. They can handle it. Send them in!
The SEAL team leader said no. But he was ordered to carry out the mission, despite the obvious weather issues, and he did so.
The questions that were not asked, the retired officer said, were these: “Do we know if the dhow is carrying a ballistic missile or a box full of missile parts?” No. “Can you get a key to a launch site?” No. “Or a map of all the Houthi launch sites?” No. “Do Somali smugglers know the difference between a case of Johnny Walker Red and one of Johnny Walter Black?” Yes.
A RuZZian within our own ranks, it can't be!
The decision to ignore the concerns of the SEAL commander has been seen by the angered SEAL community in America as “beyond rational planning” and “a disaster waiting to happen.” I learned that one high-ranking member of the community, now retired, wrote a private letter to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, asking that the officer who overruled the SEAL commander be court-martialed for dereliction of duty as the buck-stops-here boss of the operation. “It will never happen,” the former officer told me. “Dead SEALs will go down in Navy annals as heroes, not victims.” His point was that the Navy would never acknowledge that the SEAL team had no business being sent on a search-and-destroy mission in such weather.
What the SEALS should do from my experience of watching other wars unfold is drive up to the capital in a caravan of military vehicles, then turn around halfway, then have your leader go on a lot of private jet rides 
. I'm just speaking from experience here.
Hope we dont start beef with Mali
Nope, loads fine for me
Yeah if anything incompetence would be a cover for them here an IDF guy would have fired off more rounds in bodies if he had the time and clip size for it and that's that. No incompetence, just evil.
Those threads always read like an upgraded version of what a lawn-sign liberal might say: "ooh! I'll genocide myself for you! Unlimited Genocide, too! This will be the generation we fix systemic racism!" White guilt havers are willing to grovel, but not willing to put in any work. And then the hiding behind "it was a joke bro, just a prank." It's a big reason why I don't post on this site more often.
Lol Reuters fault not yours I know that.
