That’s a fair idea, all laws that protect women also protect trans women. But then how would the government create laws that specifically protect trans women? Trans women are persecuted by public opinion more than legal courts, so how would we protect trans women if we don’t differentiate them from biological women?
@yurImperia@TastyDeaths@sleepysleepai@quoipi The vast majority of German soldiers in WW2 were forced into the war by conscription or their version of the draft. Many had no idea the camps existed. Only those in the SS knew what was going on
@TastyDeaths@sleepysleepai@quoipi No they did that because they would have been shot for desertion, many were. Also not every German soldier in WW2 was a Nazi, only those in the SS were Nazis. Everyone else was conscripted
There was a kid in Afghanistan that was able to hold off a company of marines with a bolt action rifle from WW1. Also no good soldier in any branch of service would kill American citizens.
Also the US has a valid reason, the British gave it to us. The government overstepping is the reason why.
Because those countries never had firearms to begin with. All British commonwealth countries had disarmed their citizens before modern firearms existed. Only bolt action and slow fire weapons were around.
The US has more firearms than people, not including illegally manufactured or smuggled weapons that countries like China and Mexico send in. Not all weapons are legally obtained, legally produced maybe.
Also owning and keeping weapons is a constitutionally protected right, it was so important to the founding fathers that it was the second issue they thought of and they were right. Look at the UK, the UK arrests more people for social media posts than Russia does and those people can’t fight back at all except for protest. We’ve also seen a rise in shootings in countries with heavy firearm restrictions so gun control has proven to be ineffective.
Hegseth was an O-4 (Major) which is at the Battalion level. Nacore was an O-9 (Vice Admiral). Yes she’d have more responsibilities, but she wouldn’t understand anything that happens at a company or battalion level. Again Top Brass is typically O-6 (Colonel) and above cause at that point they’re more politicians than military leaders.
@FelisterGatwiri@CertifiedLeggi You’d be surprised at how useless top brass can be across the branches. Most of them are only lieutenants because their parents were rich
You don’t think of that in the moment, your only thought is to make them as comfortable as possible. If they ask for food, you get them food. If they ask for water, you get them water. If they ask for a smoke, you give them a smoke.
It’s easy to make judgments after the fact, it’s impossible to put yourself in that situation and truly understand how heartbreaking it is to take care of someone who is supposed to be taking care of you.
Yes he messed up by doing that, but saying it’s his fault? That’s way too far, his mom had autonomy right? She could have said no to the cigarette.
@Narupiv@RubenLChristens@Luke_Guysucker You say that like it’s so easy to stop someone you love from smoking. I’ve been trying to get my grandpa to stop smoking for 8 years. You’ve clearly never had to take care of a parent either
