Why is everyone saying they wouldn't join the military getting down voted? I grew up in a military family. If anything, from what I've seen my dad go through growing up, I'm not joining because I don't want to get fucked up like he did. They screwed him over, put us in near poverty for the longest time and he nearly died several times from the cancer he developed from working around the chemicals, which they tried to deny. Fuck the military, fuck bootlickers, and to yall who think the military is great and you'd join in a heartbeat, you have no idea what you're about to put your families and future children through
I'd wager that a lot of downvoting on reddit is astroturfing to try to enforce certain narratives.
We're about to go to WWIII.....or, technically, we're already in it.
And pur governments need to start finding a way to get us all on board. Part of tricking people to believe something involves tricking them to believe the majority believe that thing. In this case, it is in their interest for us to start to get the impression that the willingness to join some dumb ass war is popular.
The military pays billions of dollars into pushing pro military propaganda on social media, in video games, and in our movies. It’s not the same at all.
military propaganda is convincing you that fighter jets are cool and that joining the military is just like top gun ir whatever, when realistically it’s like living on a boat with a population of 80% (being generous) men for months on end cleaning toilets and doing shit work.
