Well, unfortunately, when you’re poor and want to return to school, or change careers, your cheapest option is the military. Everyone stereotypes the military as offering only combat soldier jobs. The military offers more than just one career option. Want to change careers and become a medic to gain training for when you leave the military and can actually afford medical school? There’s the Army for that. Want to learn how to repair airplanes and jets as an aviation mechanic? There’s the Air Force for that. Everyone will just downvote me anyway. Let’s carry on that anti-military sentiment.
And lots of people join, get messed up, and then are denied proper healthcare by the underfunded VA system.
But even if the military was great for the people enlisting, it wouldn't change the fact that they are joining one of the most rapacious, lawless, and brutal militaries in the world.
I certainly wouldn't say the US military is "one of the most rapacious, lawless, and brutal militaries in the world." Never underestimate Russia, China, and North Korea. Then there's the guys in Africa who create child soldiers. Look I know the USM could do better, but that statement is just begging a parade of the world's uglies.
