  What are you talking about the average US militant isn’t poor at all and even the poor ones could easily work somewhere else. You’re just doing mental gymnastics to excuse the equivalent of joining the modern Nazi’s for money.

    No, I’m pointing out the hypocrisy in you pretending to know what it is to be desperate, that you can judge others in such a position.

    I ain’t justifying diddly squat.

      I had the option to join the military and chose homelessness. It’s actually really easy to do the right thing even when you’re desperate.

        Would that choice have been as easy if you had your own children to consider? Would it have been so easy to make your own children and spouse homeless too?

        The point is everyone is susceptible given the right circumstances. The system is literally designed to create desperation, and to keep ratcheting that up until people relent.

        By all means try and convince people not to give in. Support them and help them, try to ensure they don’t reach their breaking point. But don’t try and pretend that desperation to escape their given shitshow isn’t what drives a lot of recruitment.

      What level of desperation allows murdering children as a career?

        I would say none, but the closest to desperation I’ve personally been was scrounging for coal that fell off the train to the docks when we as a family couldn’t afford to buy it. (No coal, no heat, no hot water, etc.)

        I can imagine though, that watching my own children cry from the cold and hunger. Watching my own flesh and blood get thinner and weaker and being otherwise powerless to help them might make me consider rather strongly the paycheck offered by anyone at all.

        That you apparently can’t imagine any scenario that would give you personally (and therefore by extension anyone else), cause to consider doing heinous things for money is bizarre.

  If you can join the most expensive military in the world, you are not nearly as desperate as, for example, people who survive in NATO without that.
  Also nowhere near as desperate as the people whose countries NATO keeps invading.
