Comment on Not happening, dude
Madison420@lemmy.world 7 months agoThey’re usually dudes who got bumped there for being injured, for being psyched, or being incompetent but well meaning. Don’t be mean to them, they legit don’t want to do what they’re doing they know how stupid and shitty it is but they still have time left in contract and gotta trudge it out day by day like the rest of us.

Some of them, sure, but there are a lot of stories of how many lies recruiters will tell you to get you to sign on, so a pretty significant number are genuinely bad people.

They have quotas blame the system not the consequences.

If they weren’t conscripted via draft, they volunteered. 100% their shitty choice to become a terrorist.

The average income of a enlistee is below the poverty line, if you can’t get a job you can get your ass in the military and make enough to survive.
You act like every life choice is binary.

Good to remember that not everyone is aware of the bullshit by 17 or 18 when recruiting is at its height (gotta pay for college somehow, right?). I know I wasn’t but, luckily planned to do ROTC instead of enlisting, then, educated myself out of being willing to do that.

They are usually uneducated and poor with trauma in their backgrounds. They have no idea what they’re signing up for.

Why not blame both?

For the same reason I don’t get upset at the drive through server when the cook makes my burger wrong. They’re just part of the process, not the cause it’s kinda hard to judge people for trying to survive.
