        So they could go to school? Have heathcare? Not starve?
        Most people in the military fall into two camps:

        1. Are a dumb shithead

        2. Are poor

        Many just joined as poor kids (<21) because that was the best or only option for them.

          Gastrointestinal rights hotline?

          (Yes I can infer what it's about but as non-American I have zero idea what it concretely stands for..)

              a) Those moral objections aren't going to be worth much when you get put in a high pressure moment by your shithead bosses and your training kicks in and you're just following orders because everything happened so fast

              b) These soldiers are human beings who have a fundamental human rights not to be enslaved to their job. If serving in Donald Trump's army is causing them psychological torment (and how could it not), they should be allowed to leave.

              c) If enough people leave, it's going to start to degrade the capacity of the American government to martial marshall force, and that's a good thing for us.

                      Kinda wild I can't see what? Your opinion?

                      For starters, it's an Archer quote. Secondly I don't live in America and never have. I would still gladly choose America over China any day of the week however.

                        I don't watch archer, so to me it's just a mean thing to say about China.

                        It's kinda wild that you can't see that America has become the embodiment of everything you dislike about China.

                          Why can't they just go back to bombing weddings in far away countries so people will thank them for their service again.
                          The libs would be happy again

                            It's kinda wild you keep saying things are kinda wild.

                            It's also kinda wild how you can't accept people may have other opinions.

                            I can absolutely see America is doing some of the things China does, still better to go with the devil you know than the devil you don't.

                                Somewhat ironic that the draft dodges military policies, is causing people to not want to be in the military anymore.

                                    I just re-stated the original "it's kinda wild" statement which you had misrepresented as some kind of opinion.

                                    Of course i understand people have opinions, but I'm entitled to think people are idiots for having ingredients stupid opinions.

                                      They recruit high schoolers without other options.

                                      I worked in one of the worst high schools in the nation. There were recruiters in our cafeteria every day. They gave me periodic tables with National Guard branding (which you can be sure I used, because I only had 1000 prints a month, and 500 of those had to be on my own paper.)

                                      Imagine - you aren’t going to be able to get into or afford college. Your dad is in jail. Your mom is working three jobs, none of which provide your family with health insurance. The places that are hiring are McDonald’s and Walmart.

                                      The only people that you know in your community that have insurance and can afford a house - they are former military. You have already seen people go down extremely dark paths - you probably do know someone who joined a gang and you might have attended their funeral. Your pastor tells you that the military will teach you discipline and protect your from that fate.

                                      There are other reasons too. The military is really the only route you have for college if you don’t have the financial resources.

                                      I don’t think you imagine yourself killing people either. Most of what the military does isn’t directly related to combat.

                                      I think this video might be an interesting perspective too.
