I mean I still think he’s wrong even if I understand where he’s coming from and think it’s in bad taste to try and tell him otherwise. It’s not about supporting US imperialism —- it’s having compassion for those forced into serving by that very same system

I am a civilian employee. It’s great benefits. Best job I’ve ever had tbh.

Yeah and I regret telling him to empathize before I knew that, because it’s insensitive. Still, I don’t condone moralizing people making decisions for survival.
Sorry but you don’t “NEED” to join the US military to survive. You CHOOSE the US military out of a wide range of possible paths to take in the course of your life
the military is awful but if you're not going in neighborhoods telling those poor kids to pick themselves up by their bootstraps and don't take the new opportunity stfu
I grew up in a poor neighborhood i did that irl
Not in amerikkka tho thank god
a poor kid with d*** addicted parents doesnt give a f*** about that
Plenty of people with s***ty upbringings who don't resort to joining the military
Da souf why u ask?
Just wondering why you said “fuck the troops” a lot of my friends joined either out of necessity or other personal reasons, why is it f*** then specifically?
Edit: some have been to war zones and others have not.
there are a million support systems you can join that DONT kill kids in drone strikes bro
there are a million plant based foods to eat that DONT kill animals bro

What does this have to do with the thread
Plenty of people with s***ty upbringings who don't resort to joining the military
yeah there are also plenty of people who pull themselves up by their bootstraps out of poverty but we afford them the context of their situation if they don't
You go tell afghanis fleeing their country they should empathize with the poor kid from bumfuck, florida LMAO
yeah that is absolutely the point of my post you got it

dad was in the military for 20 years. I now get a huge amount taken off of college. Thanks dad
What does this have to do with the thread
ethics are ethics
it's intrinsically immoral to support the American Military in any way, there's no two ways about it. hard agree with you there
animal ag goes the same way
ps you can always not reply lil bro
yeah, do your 4 years for free college and get out. you can meet some great people there and find a good community but ultimately you have to be fine with conforming and being forced to suck the government's/your supervisor's/chain of command's d***. plus there's always the valid moral concerns people have with joining the military etc
don't listen to anyone who will inevitably come in here and clown you or anyone else though. the military is a fantastic (benefits-wise) way out of s***ty situations for a lot of people. if anyone joins because they wanna kill people though they should kill themselves first
great take fr man. You get it
i think i have you and scratchin as the same soc user in my head tho and he's the one who capped hard style for animal abuse so just forget about it
