To give you an idea of government hypocrisy at its finest, consider my county where you can't carry a knife, hand gun or even if you happen to be carrying DIY tools without a reason you can be charged with an offence. Our same government actively cheers on the Ukrainian war where estimates of 1 million Ukrainian MEN have been slaughtered. They talk about freedom yet never in the media do they mention any of the "recruitment " that you have showed in the above videos that the Ukrainian's are carrying out. These people are fucking scum.
Some of the things said here reminded me of the film Midnight Express (1978) which literally has someone in uniform like in the images (the setting is a Turkish prison). Sexually, or otherwise, young men are being exploited in the army without any doubt, so the army is one big crime scene. I'm not saying this because of a pacifist standpoint but simply as an observation.
The army (I guess) will say they are "working hard" to stamp it out. But from what you are saying the thought is that army is actually built like that - and that is far more damning... I think people may be struggling to think along such lines as it goes against everything we are told. The army has no (real) interest in dealing with this, aside from PR reasons.

It sounds a lot like the UK. Such a great place turned into totalitarian shithole so quickly without any meaningful way to resist.
I have previously read part 1 when you published it. Could you tell me, the region you are from without giving away your country?
Eastern Europe. You’re going to think “now it all makes sense…”
This was excellent...and disturbing, and the truth. Thank you.
Thank you. Part 1 is even more disturbing https://sotiris.substack.com/p/the-military-is-gay

Yes, I’m not a pacifist either. But the centralized monopoly of psychopathy (military) is not the security we need.
When you think about it, it’s astonishing that to say it is considered 'outside mainstream'.
Exactly. I’m sure more people think it but fear being stigmatized. This is why it’s vital that we keep speaking our minds

Spot on.
Indecently, this may have relevance, from long ago in the 60's in young Israel:
