I’m sorry, but these kids are being sent on fools’ missions to do the work of the evil empire. We should not encourage the next graduating class to follow them.
The modern military is not helping freedom nor Democracy. They are helping oil companies and munitions manufacturers.
If we want our kids to be mercenaries, we should at least send them over to the private contractors where they’ll get a decent wage for their efforts.
