Until any meaningful number of units organize a mass walk-out, or worse, a revolt, the u.s. military (and western armies in general) are nothing more than a burgeoning threat, trivially ordered into unscrupulous actions against the public--the public-facing guards of the western military intelligence junta strangling the world, while these guys collect what amounts to the public dole.
I have enormous respect for those who fight, regardless of what their fight is. I have less respect for those who fight and don't know why they are fighting at all, other than for their next paycheck, their 'career' or the ideals planted in their heads during indoc.
Those who fight, without knowing who their bosses are beyond the public chain of command, or the interests they serve ultimately serve interests contrary to everything they believe to be true, and good, and just.
The military doesn't make men stupid, it does make them tough though. And even tough--even smart people, are easily fooled, or worse, in the case of the vax, coerced into doing what they know is wrong.
And that is the state of the military, at least the u.s. military, today.
As long as that is true, the military is useless to any cause.
