A more thorough explanation:

Nomine poenae is a legal term that means "in the name of penalty." In civil law, it refers to a clause in a will that requires the heir to do something as a penalty. In common law, it refers to a penalty for not fulfilling certain conditions in a lease.

For example, if a wealthy person leaves a will that requires their heir to donate a certain amount of money to charity every year, and if the heir fails to do so, they will be penalized. This penalty is called nomine poenae.

In another example, if a tenant signs a lease agreement that requires them to maintain the property in good condition, and they fail to do so, the landlord may impose a penalty in the form of additional rent. This penalty is also called nomine poenae.

These examples illustrate how nomine poenae is used in different legal contexts to enforce compliance with certain obligations and to deter noncompliance.

I think there’s a place to acknowledge both that the military is an institution that preys on low income people and you should never have to see ur best friend die in front of you while also believing that we’ve engaged in a lot of meaningless wars and if you’ve participated you are complicit

We’ve lost a lot of humanity and depth in the way we approach subjects like this in the modern discourse

yeah I mean if you wanna call veterans Nazis surely you’re on a pretty equivalent standing here

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

NemoPropheta

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)
