So the US army who has very little say as to where the ammo is sent (it’s congress making those decisions) is helping to sponsor an event. And certain musicians are pulling out to protest something they (the army) have no real control over?
Nothing like sending a message of "hey you are out there doing a tough job but we don’t want you near us ".
Are you serious with this take? SXSW is an arts festival. Not a place for military propaganda and recruitment. Turns out, most artists abhor any kind of military action.
I’d demonstrate (using my ass) sitting on my hands and not participating in mass murder of Palestinian children. The very premise of “just following orders” is that there is a legal or duty bound obligation. I didn’t care for it when Nazis used it and I don’t for it when someone two letters from Andrew Tate is spilling it from their thin, Ben Shapiro flavoured lips
The ta has nothing to do with Tate. It was in my handle on Reddit before the world became aware of tate.
If you are in the army and are ordered to ship ammo some where and don’t. At Best you get a dishonorable discharge. That fucks you up for life. At worst you wind up in prison. That really fucks you up for life.
You want to complain and do something to fix the problem? Yell at congress.

No. They don’t want to support the literal weapons companies also helping sponsor. I’d boycott any artist endeavor backed by a standing military.
Are you fucking mental or just too young to think before blurting out adult-like sounds from your feed hole?
Giving the entire US Army the “just following orders” cop out, incredible. Going to need a gastroenterologist to get that boot out
Demonstrate (using the law) how the army can tell congress that “no we aren’t going to send the ammo to place x” if the congress says “send it there”.

Let’s see all the ways you are wrong.

Try figuring out how the world works.
Nothing dishonorable about not dismembering children, maybe don’t sign up to be a tacti-cool pig in the first place.
The world “works” in lots of ways, you don’t have to deepthroat the evil running it
