As Florida preps to execute veteran Kyle Bates and the state's fourth U.S. vet this year, more than 130 U.S. veterans in nearly every branch of service have requested for Gov. Ron DeSantis to end the stat
Had no idea of the high proportion of military veterans on Florida’s death row.
There were shitty people sure, but it seemed to match the same percentages as everywhere else.
I will say this. The military taught me that every color/gender has a similar distribution of people who are solid and people who I wouldn’t piss on if they were on fire.
The worst ones absolutely were white officers. (But some of the best were too.)
The worst fucking enlisted leader I ever had was a skinny black Master Chief that said some of the stupidest shit. He didn’t believe in building up your people through mentorship and just shit on everyone.
He did some dumb but hilarious shit though. One time a pair of sailors violated DADT so they could leave (Claimed.they were gay). He said, “Sure, but prove it. Let me see you kiss. Have you ever had your ass penetrated? What does cum taste like?” They both turned beat red and admitted they weren’t gay.
I thought it was hilarious at first, but then very disturbed when I realized they were fucking trapped in this job. And how really fucking inappropriate he was.
But I did learn some important things.
Of the enlisted, all the shit bags came from shitty backgrounds which taught me that your family and environment have a huge say in how you turn out.
That made me realize that systemic racism and poverty go hand in hand and blacks have been fucked from the beginning.
That and you get out of it what you put into it. Embrace the suck, make some friends, and you will have amazing and cool experiences you could never have anywhere else.
JFC what was your unit like!?
