What @mekkaokerekemekka okereke :verified: said:

Providing employment after deployment = supporting troops

Providing housing = supporting troops

Destigmatizing mental health care = supporting troops

Preventing armed conflict = supporting troops

You know what’s NOT supporting troops? Starting wars as political cover for a failing president. Deploying National Guard just to terrorize people and provoke a backlash. Issuing illegal orders. •That• is not supporting troops.

I can't believe we're starting a new oil war in the decade of solar and EVs. We really are stuck in the 1950s, unable to evolve to tomorrow. It would be funny if real people weren't going to be hurt over this. All war is bad. Civilians get hurt the most. Mostly children. And don't bother coming in my mentions on some "Support our troops!🤡" Jingoistic nonsense. I'm immune to that. I hire more veterans than you do. I support more unhoused vets than you do. I destigmatize vets getting mental health support, and advocate for suicide prevention more than you do. https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/109817991979921397
