RE: Can the TROOPS Themselves Even "Support the Troops" After Watching THIS?!?

in #troops7 years ago

As a former member of the military, I must say that I agree with most of the consequences you mention.

Having said this, there is another dimension to this. For many people in the US, their only hope of getting good job training, college education (via the GI bill), and generally a way out of the “hood” is to believe the pack of lies about “service to the country “ that the recruiters sell. A way to stop a large number from joining would be for people to provide alternatives. I specify people because any alternative provided by government would probably also be bad for them.

Yes, The job training is what many of my friends were interested in the "peacetime" of the 1980s. It was the trap they fell into. It has not done them any harm from that period. Not for anyone I know personally. Absolutely needs to be done by people. Government is bad at everything they touch. It could destroy a sunny day and no doubt that our tax dollars are being used to create the eternal gloom they wish upon the subjects.
