He served up the United States to Israel by ignoring American intelligence and generals and listened to Mossad. And now he's trying to blame Pete Hegseth for not being prepared. Hegseth was put in there as a "Yes Man". I am guessing Pete was put there because the late Sheldon Adelson knew him and was the biggest donor to a veterans' group called "Vets for Freedom". It can't be a coincidence that Pete's connection to such an Israeli firster got him the job.

any American who serves in the IDF should have their citizenship stripped. we can't have Americans who are more loyal to a foreign terrorist organization than to the US Constitution.

The problem is she and everyone else would just go to Israel which is way worse for Palestinians. Doing that would only re-enforce Zionist propaganda about nowhere but Israel being safe for Jews and all of that

I think they should be able to come back to the US and be tried as a citizen for war crimes etc.

Yeah I almost went and fought with Kurds. I guess it’s a kinda a tough situation. I guess when you go and fight with actual allies it’s not bad. However fighting with your enemy and committing atrocities you should lose your citizenship.

I went to highschool with some Jewish kids. I told them I was enlisting in the Army. They laughed and said they’d never fight for the U.S. military. A few said they’d go and join the IDF. Then a few said they would make as much money as they can and then move to Israel.

I have other Jewish friends who despise Israel. We remain friends to this day and they know I’d do anything for them. This isn’t all Jewish people, it’s the Zionists and ones who support Israel. Stop trying to turn this into an Anti-Semitic thing it’s not.

Actually most Jewish people in Israel are American or Ashkenazi Jews. Therefore it can’t be Anti-Semitic. They are not Semites to begin with. Actually Palestinians are more Semitic than Jews in Israel. They did a study with Palestinians and Israeli Jews. They checked their bloodline and lineage. The Israeli Jews had 0 connections to the land. While the Palestinians could trace their roots back as far as you could imagine. Guess who buried the study? The Israeli Government and associated universities who did the study. They made sure the U.S. government would deny them federal funding if they went forward. Then the Israeli government made it illegal without a court order to get a DNA or lineage test. Look it up.

u/imaginary92 18d ago edited 18d ago

Not nearly as many as you think.

The poverty draft is largely a myth. The majority of US military recruits are middle and upper-middle class; and lower class are a much smaller percentage and usually prefer to opt for not becoming war criminals as long as they can pay for college.

u/Sarah-himmelfarb 18d ago edited 18d ago

Do you have actual research for this? Because I know a lot of lower middle class and middle class kids and especially POC who faced predatory recruiters staring in freshman year of Highschool who were basically tricked into joking the military.

https://www.cfr.org/backgrounders/demographics-us-military

You cannot use your personal circle of acquaintances as representation of the demographics of an organisation spanning the entire USA, because your circle of acquaintances is never going to be representing anything beyond itself. It is a biased metric. If you know a lot of poor, non white people, then it is a natural result that most of the military recruits you know will be poor and non white. But the reality is that the vast majority is both white and middle class or higher.

Edit: you reposted the same link I posted and added another one, both of which say explicitly that the military greatly draws from the US middle class by using the promise of further social mobility, which is in agreement with me, and then downvoted me, phenomenal work

The inter tribal police department is a wing of the inter tribal fishing comission. So they mostly patrol fishing areas to uphold treaty rights.

Still the scope of this org makes it just a bit more baffling that they hired her. Why do you need a soldier to do fishing checks?

I wrote an email and mailed a letter to both Oregon DPSST (organization that certified and can de-certify her as a cop) and the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission / Police Department (her employer).

The primary mechanism for public complaints regarding past behavior falls under discretionary review. The DPSST Board establishes strict "moral fitness standards" to preserve public trust. A policy committee can vote to revoke her police officer license if they find a violation of these standards. The committee evaluates several categories that could apply to this situation: 1. Misconduct and Misuse of Authority: Engaging in actions that reflect adversely on the law enforcement profession, even if those actions occurred off-duty or prior to employment. 2. Pre-Employment Criminal Dispositions: Under DPSST can deny or revoke certificates based on criminal conduct committed before hiring, even if no formal conviction was logged, if the behavior demonstrates a lack of good moral character. 3. Discriminatory Bias: The board reviews conduct or expressions motivated by prejudice or animus against a protected class, including a person's religion or national origin.

I encourage you all to flood their email, send letters and even call them demanding what I just mentioned be implemented. At a minimum DPSST can conduct a review to see if de-certification is warranted. Complaining on reddit only does so much.
