    I am not a fan of the military either but agreed, the military is a reliable vehicle for upward mobility for many marginalized/disadvantaged groups. If the choice is between living in poverty forever or signing your soul away for 4 years in exchange for a college education you’d never afford otherwise, I can’t fault people for taking the only opportunity they are offered.

    I’d rather there be better options for people in these situations, but something is at least better than nothing.

      You do realise you’re literally advocating for people to do violence, right?
