    I will never understand people who not only actively support the military and soldiers, but want to become a soldier by their own free will…

      People are heavily propagandized to from a very young age. For example, GI Joe. Hundreds of other examples as well. They want to shape kids that think of the military as good and benevolent.

      Cause some people are psychos. Like I understand if a poor kid has no other means to get out of their situation and thus joins the army. But there are many middle class families with several generations of high ranking service members. These people are just straight up psycho, they have all the inside knowledge of what the military actually does and they still force their kids to join the military academy.

      IME, unless it’s for papers and whatnot, it’s usually because your brain doesn’t work so you have no options outside of it (and your brain is so atrophied that morality is not considered either).

    The lower class always suffers the most during a war. The MAGA fucks are visiting their private doctors to get a bone spurs excuse.

      I don’t know if that will be true for much longer. I think people’s attitudes on american military worship might be beginning to change, starting yesterday. I’m already seeing a boatload of it.
