Do the army support the president even if his orders are against your constitution? How is the overll clima and feeling today?

Just asking because I’m curious, I have no horse in this race :)

Edited to Armed forces since thats exactly what I ment

      As individuals yes, as representatives of the armed forces? Not likely. Anonymity helps, but I’m sure many would be wary of posting anything contrarian views right now.

        Lemmy isn’t anonymous though. It’s pseudonomyous.

          Depends on what a person posts, but yes I’ll give you that. I can’t see it being anonymous from the government if they wanted to find out someone’s identity.

            and even then, finding out can simply be a matter of knowing who subscribes to that ip. on some places all they have to do is ask the admin nicely.

            i’m surprised theres no public tool to extrapolate someones identity for the lemmy posting history just yet, like there is for reddit.

      Yeah, since it’s “peace time” and less risk there’s probably a decent chunk of the armed forces who are just in it for the perks ( free college, Healthcare) and don’t believe in it and are trying to serve there time and get out and not make a career of it.

      They aren’t cops who almost always want to be cops and make it a core part of their identity and belief system. They aren’t allowed on lemmy.
