"Die for Donald Trump and his family to make money."

Representing and possibly dying for the worst of humanity has been the proud U.S. military way for 75 years!

Of the past 16 presidential administrations (counting re-elections separately), 9 of them were unquestionably awful people.

And between 1950 and 1973 you had a chance of getting drafted to fight in a pointless war!

Fun fact: the US military only started reversing right arm patches in 1995, which is also when they started shitting in their own months and calling it "victory". It's pretty obviously the reason they haven't actually won a war since then.
