Why. The fuck. Would anyone, Millennial or younger join the US military these days? To fight for oil overseas, while the world is burning? To be the arm of our corrupt politicians? To defend all the houses we will never afford? To protect a populace that yearns for fascism?
The prospects of room, board, health insurance, and a pension are more than enough to entice someone with no better options.
They take it just to sell it back to you.
lmao, who believes you’ll get any of that and not the post nam treatment
I’ve met so many disabled vets suffering and the va/benefits keep getting worse
The nearly free housing, healthcare, and potential for a pension are all decent incentives. Basically everything people want for normal us citizens are provided to the military.
Barring, of course, active duty members who have to deal with deployment and location assignments.
There's also the chance to kill people, so there's that.
Sign me up.
If you live in Europe: to protect your freedom. (may apply to other regions as well)
Good news, in the US, you don't have to join the military to get a gun.
😎 Yeeaahhhh
Based!
Woah woah who tf downvoted this? You're in NCD. This is in fact based.
Sorry, I meant in the US. (Freedom offer no longer applicable, must be 18 years or older)
Free college. Depending on where you live; better parking(purple heart), no property tax, unlimited handshakes, and the ability to stare into the middle distance and white-knuckle any moment you are left with your thoughts.
Better parking you say? 🤔
You know most enlisted aren't in combat roles right? My brother did ten years behind a desk, ended up with an awesome career and got to travel the world for free.
Huh? I didn't mention a single thing about combat roles or personal danger. If you join the military, you're supporting their agenda...
You're fun, but this is NCD, it's all military defense jokey jokes. The only civilian defense we take seriously is Mr. Park and the Roof Koreans. You're not really here, with these filthy rave babies, to persuade them not to join the military? It's far too late for many commenters here, they already have bad knees and a discharge in their rearview mirrors. Try to get some perspective on your audience before you start your Ted Talk.
Hard to find a way to make a living without supporting an unethical agenda, unfortunately.
Yup. The company I work for is a bit less unethical than many others. Nobody's perfect though, and we have a yearly remembrance for people we've killed over the years.
That is very true.
Name five companies you can work for that don't have an unethical agenda.
If you work for just about any corporation in the US, you are supporting an equally repugnant agenda.
Welcome to Capitalism.
I didn't mention a single thing about combat roles or personal danger
To fight
To be the arm
To defend
To protect
Do you not know what any of those terms mean
Tax free liquor and tobacco? 3 meals a day? It was a good enough reason for granpappy to leave the still down in the holler.
It's too credible so I'll whisper it (poverty)
Shootin guns and driving around in big trucks with the boys sounds mad as.
