  Pretty sure that when they enlisted, they had something else in mind.
  And it’s not always about the glory of the nation or other crap.

    They willingly signed up for engaging in colonial subjugation of the rest of the world, including by kidnapping, torturing, and killing non-white foreigners.

    What do you think they had in mind?

      Free tuition, healthcare, a paid job. When you’re trying to get yourself out of misery, you don’t always have many options.

        If you can sign up for kidnapping, torturing and murdering people in the Global South for the Epstein empire, you can find a different job.

        Also, did they suddenly forget what their military does? And also failed to think of the people on the receiving end of what this military does? How is this in any way an excuse?

    Did they willingly enlist in the US military during the last 50 or so years?

    Again, fuck them. It’s not as if they had anything noble “in mind”

        Hey, I won’t stop you if you want to take the position that poverty turns the decision to carry water for an empire built on coercion, extraction, and violence into a virtuous one. Knock yourself out.

        Why are you pretending that they are poor, or that that is somehow a good excuse?

        steady healthcare

        It seems like the ones who really need the steady healthcare are either not eligible for the military or are the ones being attacked by it
