There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind.

    I’ve heard the name Mike Prysner before but wasn’t sure who he is. Wikipedia says he’s an american Socialist and political activist who was in the army and murdered people in Iraq.

    Socialism with USian characteristics.

      He has literally dedicated his entire life since leaving the military to weakening it as an institution and winning over enough troops to carry out an anti-imperialist socialist revolution along Marxist-Leninist lines.

        Close. That’s Spenser Rapone. He and Prysner host a podcast together, Eyes Left.

      outside of like sabotage, he is doing at least something approaching redemption tbh. if his activity reduces active roster of military by, say, a 100 it’s probably good. saying as platner hater.

      now a guy/gal who would sabotage launching thingy on aircraft carrier would probably do more good in one action than this, but eh
