I'll take prison or a bullet to the head before I decide to fight for a nation that has pulled the rug out from underneath me.

I hope more young people see it this way, maybe we'll actually get to a point where we can watch all these leaders duke it out in person because no one will fight for them

Gen Xer here (born in '67). I would encourage young people to NOT join the military at this point in the timeline. It's not about serving your country any more, it's about a bunch of greedy fucks using you to further their fucked up, anti-working class, anti-humanity agenda.

In my 30s, feel the same way. Why would I offer myself to the meat grinder for a nation that bitches about me all the time?

Wait til they hand you the gun, play good boy til they let you touch the weapons

Then, aim them at the most superior officers possible and open fire indiscriminately

You do the world a favor and are likely to have your end come suddenly from a direction you don't see
