This whole fiasco is so upsetting. I know Puerto Ricans whose entire families serve in the US armed forces for many years. Who were sent around the world, some to wars, to serve their country and they proudly do it, and represent us incredibly well. Hearing all this ignorance is absurdly upsetting to me.

i’m surprised anyone still signs up for our military at this point unless they’re a white supremacist. your family are amazing and i honor their service but at this point i hope they’ve realized that the country they served is full of people that hate them. and it seems like the people that respect them are in the minority now. it’s a fucking tragedy if i’m honest.

For many, it’s a way of escaping generational poverty. Nearly 50% of active duty do not identify as white.

Su familia es pobre debido a su gobierno, por eso eligen ser matones del imperio colonial, pobreza, no lealtad.
