I mean props to him seemed like he was “wow yeah, fair enough”. In “other” countries that protester would have been beaten into a coma.
It’s the “i’m not paid enough to cause a civil war” expression. Dude just put his hands up like a roller coaster about to take a plunge, he know who his real enemy are but still have to make it look tough.
Yeah feels that way. The hand up feels more like he’s with a sparring partner than “enemy of the state”. He’s got a rifle slung and doesn’t feel like he even thinks the protester will go for it. Pretty level headed by all involved including the guy conducting the ol’ spineroo.
Serious props to that dudes form. Clean grab, followed up by a good secure with the freed second hand, just enough force behind the spin and push to send the message without making himself a direct threat.
That’s solid form, all around.
Don’t forget holding his phone in the other hand the whole time
i mean military just showed up, did absolute minimum just so that they can’t be prosecuted for refusing orders, and when parliament voted martial law away some of them left (before being ordered so) then the rest left anyway. they knew what was going on and didn’t want part in this
I mean, conscription sucks etc etc, but this is why you want it. You *try* to make it so that the average citizen is represented throughout the military so that it’s not just one group of gung ho violent dickheads that self select for abuse of power.
Also, it means the guy in the crowd can also put up against that kind of bullshit as a civillian.
political power grows out of barrel of a gun like they say few borders north. it does make sense to make everyone participate, but it’s always a tradeoff
Conscription is slavery.
What you want is to revitalize the concept of the citizen-soldier.
The problem with that as applied to a modern society instead of like, ancient Mediterranean cultures is that we just don’t need that many soldiers anymore.
Yet…
we just don’t need that many soldiers anymore.
I know we’re being noncredible but damn
The classical republics expected literally every male citizen to train regularly and purchase at least some of their own arms and equipment as part of it, with wealthier citizens supplying more expensive material for everyone, aka, the well regulated militia.
Non-crediblenessousity aside I don’t think America needs 175 million soldiers.
You can argue that “citizens” wasn’t as inclusive then as we expect it to mean now but that’s still a hell of people unless a cool war starts again.
Not America, no. But I see the benefit of conscription with turds like North Korea on your border.
America needs 175 million soldiers
I came violently upon seeing these words and wasn’t able to read the surrounding text.
Not only he got rotated, but it was caught in 4K
“Man, you didn’t have to do me dirty like that” *tries to bully the closest citizen
