What is Lemmy's perception of the military?
I feel as if Lemmings can be very politically polarizing. Definitely less so now than a few years ago, but I still see it from time to time. How does that effect the macro-community’s general perception of the military? I looked and only found one community on any instance, and it was fairly small and inactive.
It is a necessary evil to protect yourself from enemies. Granted, my country’s military wouldn’t stand much of a chance if russia or america decided to move from persistent provokation to active invasion. We can hope that our allies would help us defend our lands in the same way we have supplied Ukraine with aid, but who knows.
It isn’t fun being a small country who has pissed off two large nations because we support Ukraine’s soverignty and because we aren’t selling Greenland.
So yeah, maybe the military wouldn’t be able to protect us for long against eastern and western enemies, but at the very least, it would do its best until we are being fucked from both sides.
I have a very low opinion on russian and american military, of course.
