Sad we need a gofundme for some that fought for us. I'm amazed people will still join our military since there's no support for our veterans.

Don’t be amazed. No options and a firehose of propaganda can make anyone think it’s a good idea.

Well.

Got told they'd be fighting for us.

Or just got told it would pay for college.

The majority never have to fight, only 10% are combat troops. And the benefits are amazing. I know a lot of retired guys that are living large. Wish I had done it at 18 and retired at 38. Can you imagine?
