Why does Jalopnik think it’s readers would be against “affirmative consent” and “not fucking your subordinates”?

It’s pretty much just this Felton guy. Getting pretty tiring.

Other than being worded really poorly by a fratstar manchild, the policies are pretty reasonable. More reasonable than most companies that have a silly zero-tolerance rule people often ignore. Yeah Uber is a shitty company, but this letter is one of the more responsible things its done, in its intention. And from what…

Ryan, you have a woefully high expectation of our thoughts if you think this is as bad as we would think based on the title. All it says is don’t fuck underlings and get affirmative consent.

The message was “get consent and don’t fuck subordinates.” Ryan seems to underestimate how bad I assumed it would be.

C’mon Jalopnik, don’t give us clickbait headlines and misrepresented articles. I don’t think we expect too much. You can literally post a photo of a car with no body text and we’re happy.

Well unfortunately the government isn’t going to fund the VA. It’s gone through conservative government and liberal government and it’s still an unfunded bad joke to everyone.

If the military is ever populated only by deplorables, we’re fucked.

They know the military laws as well as you know the civilian laws. How do you know what you are and aren’t allowed to do? I assume you are familiar with the local, state, and federal laws. Can you quote the municpal code? Probably not, but you probably know the rules about fireworks in your city. Do soldiers know…

The difference here is it’s the politicians that shit all over the troops. Republicans that aren’t politicians traditionally have a deep sentiment of respect for the military. You can probably make some points about how it’s nonsense to elect the people they do, but I doubt they’d be better off one way or another…

I think a major disservice to the military in Iraq and Afghanistan was the extensive use of military contractors. The contractors operated under their own looser rules of engagement and with less oversight. All of the heat for contractor with any itchy trigger finger who took out a family of four fell unfairly on the…

He probably doesn’t hate the troops. But the things he says lends to the perception that liberals disrespect and hate the troops. It’s very rare for right leaning people to voice disrespect to the military, even if their leaders are happy to go to war.

Mostly, its about who makes up the left, not what the right does. A generation ago the Left greeted returning soldiers by calling them “murderers” and “baby killers.” My grandfather was one of the soldiers who was greeted that way. Iraq and Afghanistan veterans have reported similar, albeit much less frequent,…

Not a specific group, just general, very vocal sentiment from the left. A big chunk of democrats think everyone who joins the military are stupid by default. Including a former democrat presidential candidate.

Probably because a very vocal left leaning group hates the military and anyone who joins it, while the right traditionally respects anyone who joins. This very article is prefaced with an opinion that joining is dumb and that makes the people that join dumb.

A mission Obama’s team found too risky...

Yeah, he should drone strike them causing thousands in civilian casualties like Obama did.

I have an overwhelming feeling that if he restarts the draft then the United States will be facing a heel spur epidemic.

Really agree with you here. The only way something like what the Nazis did is possible, is if the units that execute it are filled with thoughtless believers in the cause.

Dnc ran a bad candidate. That’s why dems lost. It’s not a mystery.
