“A group of Republican lawmakers introduced a bill on Wednesday which would send “any person convicted of unlawful activity” at a college or university, to do community service in Gaza for six months.”
“Strangely, the bill appears to refer to any “unlawful activity on the campus of an institution of higher education beginning on and after October 7, 2023” but does not specifically mention the ongoing student protests, rendering it stupidly broad.”
"Ogles spoke with Fox News about the bill, saying that, “If you support a terrorist organization, and you participate in unlawful activity on campuses, you should get a taste of your own medicine. I am going to bet that these pro-Hamas supporters wouldn’t last a day, but let’s give them the opportunity.”
I feel like enough people would be willing to step up and defend their own country.
Defensive wars almost always have high approval ratings.
This is America though, we will end up tearing ourselves apart from the inside, no outside entity has the power to wage wars over an ocean to invade us.
We are naturally in one of the most defensible spots, with both mineral and arable resources
I’ll 100% grab a rifle to help defend my neck of the woods, but no way in hell am I supporting an offensive war.
Never Again Volunteer Yourself, but in a defensive war it’s no longer capitalism and the military industrial complex you’re “defending”, it’s your neighbors.
