    The under 40s are going to be the ones fighting the wars, as always. Even if there is an other side for humanity after what’s coming, no one alive today will ever have a peaceful life ever again.

      I’ll take prison or a bullet to the head before I decide to fight for a nation that has pulled the rug out from underneath me.

      I hope more young people see it this way, maybe we’ll actually get to a point where we can watch all these leaders duke it out in person because no one will fight for them

        In my 30s, feel the same way. Why would I offer myself to the meat grinder for a nation that bitches about me all the time?

        Gen Xer here (born in '67). I would encourage young people to NOT join the military at this point in the timeline. It’s not about serving your country any more, it’s about a bunch of greedy fucks using you to further their fucked up, anti-working class, anti-humanity agenda.
