Man, I do enjoy taking the wind out of the sails of presumptuous people knee-jerking a response without knowing any specifics.
I spent most of my career flying in relatively dangerous conditions in helicopters (or on small boats, before I went into aviation) in order to save people from drowning in the ocean or freezing in the woods. I've had two coworkers who've crashed (in separate incidences), one of which was at the door sending a dewatering pump to a sinking boat. I specifically joined the service I did because, as I told the recruiter, I can choose to join, but I can't choose where I'm sent after, and I'm still responsible for my actions because I chose to join in the first place. There's nothing morally ambiguous about saving somebody whose boat is sinking.
Now, don't get me wrong, having more and more of our people being sent to "defend the border" definitely falls in the realm of "not what I signed up for," but I haven't personally been forced into that, and am extremely unlikely to.
So I may have dealt with some brown kids whose lives were threatened, but certainly haven't found any that were a threat themselves (except to themselves... boaters tend to be their own worst enemies).
So you signed up for an organization that murders innocent people, but since you personally haven't been told to do it yet you think you're OK? Fuck off.
Go straddle a buzzsaw you pretentious fucknugget.
