But also the website where the median user thinks the US military as a whole started committing wanton war crimes in 1775 and hasn't stopped one day since probably isn't the best place for the discussion

I've seen a lot of you try to very reasonably explain the realities of the military to these people, often resulting in getting called a war criminal or some shit, and god bless man because y'all have more patience than saints from what I have seen. I don't know how you guys do it.

These people, in all their righteous and morally superior indignation, simply
1) lack the ability to listen and learn from people who have more experience/insight to understand how things actually work

The thing that makes me itchy is that we've already been seeing the writing on the wall for MI shifting toward 12333 violations based on the rhetoric/domestic deployments. Solidifying the order of these priorities in the NSS makes that even more likely...

Beyond the obviously terrible not-getting-paid part. Functionally things are going to start getting a lot worse. Contractors have largely been keeping the wheels turning as best they can without the decision makers and now we will start seeing more significant reductions of that workforce as well.
