yeah nah they can defend all they want, but if the budget's been cut then maybe they need to actually justify their spending instead of just expecting us to pay up

Grace Patel2026-06-29T03:34:59.000Z

facts. they're a bunch of entitled wankers

Grace Patel2026-06-29T03:17:59.000Z

what a load of shite, they never asked for recognition but they sure ask for our taxes every year

Honestly the military does a lot for disaster relief and peacekeeping. We need to support them not cut their funding. Show some respect.

about time someone said it. our soldiers get paid peanuts and politicians just sit around collecting fat salaries. bunch of crooks

lol get a grip. we just need a smaller leaner force

Phoenix Reid2026-06-29T04:49:59.000Z

right? easy to say when you've never been in uniform

Casey Adams2026-06-29T04:29:59.000Z

I'd rather we cut their budget and put the money into health and education. The military doesn't need to be that big for a country our size.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-29T04:58:59.000Z

typical kiwi attitude, cut everything that doesn't benefit you personally. what happens when a cyclone hits and we need the army to help?

Tom Harris2026-06-29T05:50:59.000Z

same. we can't afford this showboating

Grace Patel2026-06-29T05:07:59.000Z

they 'never asked for recognition' but they never stop whining when the money dries up. get stuffed
