      Good to remember that not everyone is aware of the bullshit by 17 or 18 when recruiting is at its height (gotta pay for college somehow, right?). I know I wasn’t but, luckily planned to do ROTC instead of enlisting, then, educated myself out of being willing to do that.

      They are usually uneducated and poor with trauma in their backgrounds. They have no idea what they’re signing up for.
