The final warning was enough to cause the moderators for r/Military—a forum partly devoted to helping veterans—to stop operating as a NSFW subreddit. “We are now stuck in a difficult position as we do not want the community to die,” the moderator team wrote.
I mean, they’ve got their priorities right. It’s reddit’s fault that they’re killing their own communities. We should try to reach out in subs like this and help them set up on lemmy.
Another thing I never see anyone in US is talking about: If US veterans need so much help (and they really do), what is happening to people in counties they were fighting against? And those are not only soldiers, but whole families. Everyone ober there has witnessed same shit they did, kids, elders, moms…
“Developed” countries see “undeveloped” countries (or whatever euphemism you want to use) as Others. We may be the target of their charity or of their pity sometimes, but we remain a mysterious monolith. I’m reminded of that whenever someone says “The US is [generally something bad] among developed countries”.
I’m not angry about it. I get it. I still wish it wasn’t that way.
As trivia, at least one “undeveloped” country has universal healthcare.
Cowards.

Did you wear the uniform? What are you doing to help prevent the 22 suicides a day among our service members?
This is what the military subs have had to weigh when making these calls.

What’s the MILITARY doing to prevent the 22 suicides a day?
Not enough. Still too much stigma attached to behavioral health.
That’s why there is so much need for additional support from elsewhere.
I have met people who was in the service enough to know the struggle is real.
It’s just hard to believe that they depend on Reddit for their support system.
Unfortunately if they are US service personnel this would not be hard to believe at all.
Why only US?
Presumably other countries actually give a fuck about helping their soldiers.
That is a false presumption. Overall compared to most countries the VA is not bad
Most countries that don’t have universal health care, you mean.
Yes, did you?
Nope, just a civilian, but married to a career Soldier.
So it’s everyone else’s responsibility to protect people subjected to Israeli wars by the lapdog US government?
