It is insane how I have to crawl around Lemmy to see this. A story like this would be flown on an over pass on highways across the country if this was reversed politically. There would be a clownvoy honking across the highway until every person was aware of this.

Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

The idea of citizenship in our stolen land is laughable.
Everyone who makes it here is supposed to be here
Fight fascists.
In France, if a member of the Foreign Legion is wounded, they are automatically granted French citizenship. This is known in France as Français par le sang verse. French by spilled blood.
Why the US doesn't have the same makes no sense. If you were a green card holder, and you served in the US military and were wounded, citizenship should be yours for the asking at any time. No need for any lengthy legal shit.
I've got an idea for all these at risk vets... They should band together and uh... Well, let's just say that 6 Jan happened.
Sounds about right. I know we all like to pretend Trump is "the worst". And he is. But hear me out.
In no time in US history (except maybe post WW2 for white men) has this country ever respected the young adults that happened to survive from wars.
It's just a different level of "fuck you" this time.
Didn't Trump abandon hundreds of Afghanis who worked as translators etc?
The war machine is a meat grinder. Always has been. Always will be.
TRUMP TO VETERANS: suckers and losers, whats in it for them?
They are no different than slaves to him. Slaves to be used and discarded once they are done. This has actually been the norm throughout history. It is why very few people wanted to be soldiers in the past. They weren't respected, and weren't well paid and weren't treated well afterward.
The whole idea of giving ex-soldiers benefits after the war is a fairly new idea in history. Historically the only people who did it were the Romans. If you were a roman legionaire and served 20 years you were given a plot of land. If you weren't a Roman citizen you got that at the end, too.
But that was a uniquely Roman thing. For the most part if soldiers did get something out of war it was due to plunder. That was actually the principle motivation for many common people who went to war.
I beat him to it. I escaped from the USA during Trump's first term. Not going back. I'm also a veteran and everything about Trump and his cult reminded me of the countries that we are always spying on and invading.
So much for service guarantees citizenship
dint protect him from trump-guaranteed deportations.
It was never legally guaranteed but only de facto guaranteed because of "norms and traditions"
Isn't it against some UN rule for a member state to cause an individual to become stateless?
What are they gonna do about it?
tell Trump he's won a Nobel prize and has to come to the Hague to accept it
I dream of this actually happening.
It wouldn't, because the US would invade the Hague. Like the US literally passed a law authorizing military action if one of its people get arrested for warcrimes.
they wouldn’t be dumb enough to try to invade a nato country… maybe send some special forces raids though
I can still dream.
That's some late karma
