Imagine for a moment that you are a dumbass 17 year-old high school senior in 2002. Your grades are shit and you’re just barely going to graduate. Many of your friends are excited about going to college, while you are pretty sure that working behind the counter at the local gas station is basically all you’ve got.
Suddenly, a wild recruiter appears! He has a cool looking uniform and people say “Thank you for your service” and he gets treated with respect wherever he goes. He says he’s got a $30k signing bonus for you. He says you can choose whatever job you want, you don’t have to go get shot at. He says in 4 years when you get out, you’ll have skills and experience those college pussies won’t, you’ll get a good job and they’ll bitch on the internet about working at Starbucks. He says you can even go to college if you want, Uncle Sam will pick up the tab and you can spend 4 years getting drunk and laid.
no lol. Youre a fucking idiot if you just sign up for war because a recruiter sweet talks you. Sorry but youu gotta think and actions have consequences. Being a dumb kid isnt an excuse to go die for a war machine. Know who i respect? that 17 year old that works in trades or becomes a garbageman or post office worker. i respect those guys. no sympathy for dumbasses who dont think and then kill kids because orders are orders and they can and never will think for themselves. Fuck them
Jesus, dude. Chill a bit. They were kids who were sold a bill of goods. Some of them legitimately believed they were doing something good and noble when they enlisted, and the people in power abused that ideology. It’s not the veteran’s fault. Hold people in power responsible, not the people who trusted them.
Edit: there’s no sense in arguing with you on this. I just saw your other comments, seems like you’ve got zero empathy. Wish you the best, champ. Hope you find some compassion in your life.
So the Wehrmacht who killed scores of jews were also “sold a false bill of goods” and just following orders right?
and nah i dont think i will chill bb gurl, go fuck yourself
and dont worry i do blame the governments and corporations that systematically keep people poor and then force them into said war machine and keep these forever wars going. I just also dont blindly excuse killers cuz they are poor. Go get a real job like a dishwasher or a sex worker.
I don’t think this is the forum to have this conversation, and anything I say will just prompt you to personally attack me. I think you should open your mind to other points of view and think critically.
lmao im not the one killing kids in foreign countries for oil. assholes who sign up for the military should think “critically” and “open up their minds.”
There’s a difference of being complicit and taking place in killing women/children and men in the thousands than being in the US military. Sit the fuck down and treat people how you expect to be treated.
U sit the fuck down cunt. How do you think a fucking machine works? it doesnt matter if you are personally puttin a bullet in the kids head personally its called being complicit you dumb whore
