    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

      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.

      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?
