IMO still way not worth it to end up working as the US’s Gestapo.

No thanks.

If I'm gonna be working for an evil empire i'd expect evil empire levels of luxury, yeah? The peons never get that though, so that's even more reason to not be interested

I'm case you've been living under a rock the past few days, this is what I was referring to: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/dc-home-rule-act-trump-puts-dc-police/story?id=124548993

I'm just explaining that the military isn't equivalent to Gestapo, since Gestapo was the secret police. So you wouldn't be working for America's Gestapo if you joined the military.

The military in the US has basically become militarized police. They are mostly brainwashed crayon-eaters that gargle Trump's balls, so we are all fucked.
