Wow, what's the job?
Shooting poor people to protect oil interests for multi-billion conglomerates.
Does it say anything about the kind of people you feel are up to the job that you're approaching a grown man wearing a chicken suit?
A few of the guys I game with were sign spinners at some point, and they're all extremely anti military for that reason. One of them is technically homeless and has spent a few years without a roof, and wouldn't join the military if his life depended on it.
Wait... Wait, they're anti military because as sign spinners they were regularly approached to join the military?
I wish I was so simple I'd think like you.
You wish you were so simple THAT you'd think like me.
Let me tell you something simple: If an opportunity is a good one, for employment in this example, all that has to happen is for it to be known that it exists and people will come knocking, asking to be allowed to avail of that opportunity.
If someone comes to you and tries to sell you about how something is a good deal for you, they are the one who has something to gain, and it is going to be at your expense.
No arguments, only baseless ad hominem fallacies.
You indeed have the intelligence to be in the military.
It is well known the chinese took ME oilfields as a part of their imperialistic tendencies.
US military ensures the flow and protection of global trade which facilitates everything you take for granted. Saying US armed forces protect only big oil interests and are a burden on the world is quite literally a lie and honestly reminds me of elementary school bros who unironically believe so.
US army is a net benefit for the world
