do you think it would be accurate or truthful if someone were to describe you that way?

i think he's worse actually. vets can be anything from infantry (probably kill one or two guys max) to support staff (kill nobody). if you make industrial weapons you are facilitating higher levels of violence

Fair, though I can step back and recognize my naivety and come to the conclusions I have. Rather than arguing that any attack against me in unjustified

But tbf I did get fired for being too politically outspoken

OlDirtyBtard

22:39

i mean honestly forget about attacking anyone. i think if you really care about these issues it's best to look at it from a systemic lens rather than spewing bile

also fwiw some of the biggest anti-war advocates are veterans. see the "winter soldier" protest movement during the Vietnam war

I wasnt infantry but every marine is a riffleman. I also didnt join for the financial need. I ended up leaving s footprint int he service by making policy to help service members with their immigration status/family member status for the DoD. Call it whatever you want but those are the meaningful things and experience I bring with me to Law School.

Sounds like you'll have plenty with which to dazzle admissions committees. Also sounds like nobody in here is a vet lol. Maybe try r/lawschooladmissions?

Or possibly even reach out to admissions offices at schools you're interested in. Often they have current students who serve as admissions ambassadors, and you can ask to be put in touch with someone who fits a specific profile (e.g., a veteran). Doesn't hurt to try, and showing early interest in a school is never a bad idea anyway (supposedly they keep track of contact with applicants/prospective students)

I am quite impressed by the civility and level of discourse in this chat, I have a lot of faith in the new generation's wisdom, kindness, and rejection of the status quo. I think we have some exceptional leaders rising up, and I am confident some of them are you. :)

Also, if u were a kid from 1990+, you had access to the most amount of information at once in human history. This made nuanced and critical thinkers. I am excited for the future. Make tech ur b, acquire knowledge, help people/make the world a better place. One step at a time.

le military is sad on many fronts, but during times of peace, it does give opportunity, drive tech, and do some good.

Just hire 7 people to dress up as you and evade their surveillance, then after a while give yourself up but then switch out for one of your doubles

NemoPropheta

The Michigan surveillance is so repulsive and fascistic. You should be able to exercise ur first amendment rights without ur campus sending hired goons after u

Michigan civil rights clinic should be taking this up. MSU has a first amendment clinic too. Someone needs to defend these people’s rights

I mean the military literally killed students at Kent State and nothing really happened so I expect this will lead to more of the same
