No, you shouldn’t care about a system that sends people to their deaths, inflicts lifelong trauma, and that abandons people after their “usefulness” is up. I feel bad for soldiers and disgusted by military industrial complexes.

Exactly there is no good reason to support, respect, or join the military! Especially when they claim they are “fighting for our freedom” overseas in the middle of south asia or wherever they go…

They prey on a LOT of lower class folks, too. It’s revolting.

Bruh no good reason to respect the military…? What are you on these are the people that fight for you and will protect you if heaven forbid something bad happens. I know plenty of people that have joined the military simply because they love it but others who join for the opportunities they get later in life. You may obviously disagree with the way they do things or recruit or whatever, but respect the people and their mission to protect you!

Fuck the military. Sending our young men and women to die overseas to line the pockets of the elite class.

Nah. They drafted my grandfather and agent orange killed him and caused heart problems for all my aunts and cousins and me. My grandmother is still fighting the VA to get them to even fucking recognise it.

And that’s just what the military did to *my* family. *Millions* are dead, disabled, in poverty, or under oppressive regimes because of the US military leaving power vacuums.

They choose to go themselves…. It’s a great opportunity for those who are underprivileged with no opportunity for higher education.

At what cost?? The most important thing is your health and time which the army takes away when you sign off your body for years at a time just so you can get a car or need even more money to pay for things you need after the trauma you experience. The people who significantly benefit from this are the rich wealthy oldies

Many “chose” to go because it was the only avenue they had to financial stability, because of the way our country has fucked over its people. I know several people who only joined the military because they couldn’t afford to go to school and had no connections or skills to monetize. Claiming it’s a “choice” when our system leaves many with no choice is fucking stupid.

My ex-girlfriend enlisted solely because she’d get assistance with university tuition. And yet she’s still struggling to even get that whole process going.

Perfect example right there. She has to sell her body and risk her life just to afford an education, something which should be free, and the military still tries their hardest to make you jump through as many hoops as possible to actually claim the benefits of your service. Fuck the military.

Exactly that!! Not only that but vets are treated like shit and often forgotten once they’re disabled or not medal-decorated. Like with the 4th. Constant noise and chaos and loud ass booms that are harmful for many people, their support providers and animals, and degrading for mental health because of PTSD.

That too. I don’t want to hear shit about “respect” when our country lets thousands of veterans live on the streets. Fuck the military.

I’m saying that you may not respect the “military” as an institution but the people in it do need respect.

Duh, respect the individuals, but you should hate what the government does to those individuals. The greatest form of “disrespect” you can give to a veteran is not speaking out against the evil institution that uses them for their bodies, then throws them away
