Military service is dangerous for multiple reasons…
Not just life and limb, but social participation. The only place where a non-felony can land you with felony restrictions.
As a veteran myself (I was young and dumb. I’m still dumb, but not young), I encourage everyone avoid joining the US military at all costs. It’s really not worth the free college (which isn’t worth a whole lot these days anyway, since everyone has a worthless degree).

I find weird that the right to vote can be stripped at all.
Here in Europe every adult can vote, no matter what.
Yes but you live in a more civilized society, in which personal rights are important enough for GDPR type laws.
Our populous is fucked.
Thanks for sharing.
