And that isn’t the military members fault. You’re blaming mostly poor people who are part of a system they have no control over who join the military because it’s a way out of poverty. That’s been my whole. Point from the start. You’re making a lot of blanket statements that boil down to “the military and everyone involved with it is a problem and kills people so military= bad”. And you’re wrong. The military is an example of the systemic problems with late stage capitalism. I notice you’re not on the fuck billionaires train, the fuck Congress train, or the fuck capitalism train with this rant. But all those things are connected to the problems with the military budget and spending. You’re obviously speaking from a place of ignorance and I’m not even sure why you’re bothering to just rehash what you’ve already said to me who knows better.

When I joined the military as an E1 I was making something like $600 every two weeks. And I was on call 24 hours a day. That equates to about $1.78 per hour. There are people in the military making less than minimum wage when you account for the fact that they’re on call 24 hours a day. Free food, housing and healthcare are just ways to further curtail their movements and keep what are essentially 18yo kids with no real life experience from bucking the system. And you’re just out here claiming these same kids are killers who don’t deserve human rights.
