True for a lot of people. It’s called a “poverty draft.” The military uses poorer people for its forever wars. Enlisting is no guarantee of escaping poverty or getting full GI bill benefits.

Ah how many times I’ve heard that lame excuse.
“yea, so we Germans had a terrible economic crisis and the only way out for me was to go into the army and gas some jews, had no other choice really.”

Asshole? Sure. But everyone who enlists has to justify the cost of being part of the murder machine.

He is an asshole, but then, I wouldn’t care if we people call me names after I die. To them it doesn’t matter anyway. And maybe those soldiers who are alive will see that there is no glory in what they are doing.

Morality is emotional and you’re an emotional bitch right now.
Bloomcole@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
you imperialist bootlickers and whitewashers have no clue what morality is.
Also no arguments, hence the invariable vulgar insults when confronted with the truth.
It’s all they have, pathetic.
Now go away
