You know what? Having a large number of trained military personnel (including the fucking marines) be victimised and removed from service by the US government might be a good thing in the long run.

It might, but correct me if I'm wrong here (not a USer) but isn't the military/GI bill a huge tool for social mobility in the US?

They just become cops when they get out.

It feels ignorant when I see people blanket bash service members like this. Military members in the US are primarily poor, desperate kids with no social safety nets who are just looking for a stable way to get their life together. You can lurk around military forums, chatrooms, tiktok pages, YouTube channels or wherever and see that service members almost unanimously HATE the military itself. There's the saying: "Love the clowns, hate the circus".
Most cops are pussies who would never enlist in the military. More often veterans actually become some type of civilian DoD employee. Working inventory at a CIF, or being a counter clerk at the VA.
If they worked in a certain field while they were in, they can usually go right back to that field once they leave the military. Army S6 guys usually go work IT, Transporters go become truck drivers, medics become EMTs, etc. Even MPs tend to work in private security rather than police force once they get out, the private sector is just better pay and safer. I've even seen guys get out and go work for Smith & Wesson just from the gun experience. I've only seen one scumbag try and become a cop after he got out of the military, and he actually didn't last long before they fired him.
Anyways most vets aren't becoming cops, and most vets I know fucking hate cops.

If America invaded Canada, I'd be okay with some razor bumps on a soldier well-trained in more than killing. I know our Canadian troopies get different training from a different mindset, but it's one I like to see in invaders too.

Seen plenty of comments on reddit who have used the GI bill to get an education they otherwise couldn't afford and then a decent career that has nothing to do with shooting people. That's what the smarter ones do, anyway.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]remember during covid, service members were using the vaccine excuse to get out, im betitng this will result in the same thing. everyones going to start doing this, because being under the military 24/7 actually sucks ass. and then military is going to complain again about recruitment problems, barring the issue that some cant serve due to medical conditions, or too fat.
its also just when then reached thier qouta last year.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]yup, seen at alot of 26 something out of military in my local CC when i was going there in late 2000s. just fresh out of bushs disgusting war. also by 2009, obama was downsizing the military so many people were on thier way out in larger numbers.
