    On the off chance anyone is taking this seriously, that’s not really how deployments work in any western military.

      If you think talking about reality is “propaganda” then i have very bad news for you buddy.

        Honestly, I agree with you about the pointlessness of most wars.

        It’s weaponizing misogyny to make that point that is deeply icky.

  women are untrustworthy sluts!

  Some are, especially many of the wives and girlfriends of American servicemen.

    This is the issue. Women in general are not but there is a subset of women who target service men. Those women are the reason these memes exist.

      The infamous dependapotamus !

      Seriously though, the same could be said of any group seeking to exploit any other group. X group targets Y group because Y group has things that benefit X without X having to work as hard. You could just as easily say that there are a subset of men who target young Christian women to be groomed because it’s easier to control them and get away with it. The woman gets abuse and the man gets a bangmaid.

        To any extent yes but the way the military does benefits is the reason for this common exploit. Saying it happens elsewhere does not stop how common it is in the military which is why these memes exist. They even give warnings and classes on it to new recruits. Its extremely common in the military.

    If you marry a barracks rat, don’t be surprised if she hooks up with Jody while you’re downrange.

  Its funny because they were both fucking everything that moved during the deployment. Actually pretty common.

    Yeah, it’s actually legit fucking insane. I’ve been deployed 3 times, and the amount of infidelity I witnessed from both spouses, every time, was…something to behold. The first time I went I naively thought people were blowing the rate out of proportion before I got there but it was like…so many people.

    Like I get that military life is difficult, most people get married hella young so the partners can stay together, and then deployments happen. Deployments happen right after one spouse uproots their entire lives to move halfway across the world with no support system. It still sucks to see because once it all comes out, it tears families apart every time.
