Disrespecting veterans is one of Americas longest traditions. Veterans have lived in poverty for centuries because the government wants them to.
People who volunteer for the military typically do so because they’re in poverty and it’s their best option in life. The military specifically advertises in high poverty areas and also conduct social outreach and minor charity work to drive recruitment.
America needs poverty because it ensures there are always people willing to join the military and work for cheap.
