It's not even a nice military though! Failed audit after failed audit showing billions of dollars not accounted for. When you enlist, one of the trainings you get is how to sign up for WIC, because they don't even pay you enough to feed a family (at first) if you lay down your life. This country is a joke from the outside, and a nightmare to live in.
In the 2000s, military applications were through the roof. I went to a poor urban school. And the promises of joining the military was discipline and support. We were already on WIC and couldn't find a job, what makes this any different?
A decade later, all my friends who joined the military are struggling in dead end jobs and constantly complain about the lack of support. And they're worse off than before... Just now with trauma.
