Military men ain’t good bfs sorry to say. You’ll have to uproot your life multiple times, won’t see him for months on end, oh and it’s very possible he’s been engrained in toxic masc culture.
Why is it so hard to find a tall muscular mustache tatted up military man with a side of goofy in my area. There’s at least 1 base near me and not to mention the Great Lakes either like??? Where are they hiding

All three military “guys” I’ve been with are actually women who hated how incredibly toxic things were and enlisted because of poverty and job security reasons 🫠

Hey it’s op. Completely fine with moving- had my share of exes who are marines and then some flings between. Totally okay not seeing them either, genuinely love my alone time cannot see ppl every day but the security for me is always there. I am also a line daughter amongst sons and my male friends. I can handle it, I have the equipped arguments to shut it down. Bettered by my degree and career. Don’t hate the player hate the game

Well keep choosing military men and you’re destined to find a shit stain, why do you think most people join the military? Not because it’s a calling like they say on the advertisements, it’s because a lot of those people are terrible nobodies who go to the military to feel like they’re capable of something. Most military men are a red flag for this reason.

i feel like we’re ignoring the elephant in the room that their job is to kill people, or help kill people, or be on stand by to kill people in the global south to further americas imperial wars

Exactly. Wars are ethically questionable sadly. Especially now. I don’t really support anyone in the military rn. Unless it was for pure defense, but the us seems to love offense so…

Yep. That’s why Veterans Day is complicated cuz like what war did u fight in? How many innocent people did you kill? Was it really protecting our country or in furtherance of a crime committed by our government… the US is full of war crimes. Can’t wait till we actually get held accountable…

even if you’re doing it to escape poverty doesn’t change the reality of the role the us military plays in the world. being abusive and cheating are bad but ignoring the fact that their job is to aid in or directly carry out the killings of innocent people abroad is ridiculous. we’re currently in yet another war in the middle east where the us military is dropping bombs on civilian populations, just because it doesn’t directly affect you or your relationship doesn’t make it any better

the us hasnt been involved in a single war or armed conflict that was even arguably justified since world war 2 and even in world war 2 the us committed attrocities. every war since then (vietnam, korea, what we did in the philipines and all over the place during our proxy wars during the cold war, the iraq war, this current war with iran) has been an imperial conquest which has directly targeted civilian populations and aimed to create us backed puppet regimes and undermine liberation movements
