I think maybe countries with free healthcare and education dont have a lot of room to weigh in on this

Why not?

You were the only country to invoke NATO Article 5. Twice. Both times you were the invading aggressor fighting countries half a world away while spinning it as "defense". Where you forced soldiers in countries with free healthcare and education (like Canada) to fight and die in wars you started. And then refused to pay us after the fact.

And what does free healthcare and education have to do with anything? Are you going to claim that America "subsidises" us?

I didn't do shit. I was in high school when that happened. Fuck off. You don't understand how people get pressured in joining and how recruiters con a bunch of kids to sign up using the lack if health care and education as leverage.

I don't understand why solders from other countries even join up.

You argue like a conservative.
