This means that if another country’s military is capable of ending a person’s life, the USA must find a way to one-up that somehow. Otherwise both fighting forces are equally lethal.
What does she have planned? Do they have a weapon that can destroy the eternal soul?
Remember the “STEM or nothing” advice millennials got?
Mark my words, Gen alpha will be flooded with propaganda telling them to enlist in the military.
I mean, I’m a millennial and in my high school we had:
So the propaganda flood has been at a high water mark for at least 20 years at this point.
for sure. pre-9/11 it was already a full court press for military recruitment in high school, and probably half the guys I knew did it because they didn’t have the scores / grades for a scholarship and their parents were too broke to help.
back then it was all about getting free college and OK pay with out going to go get your dome rattled by an IED somewhere the thermostat hits 120°F. most I knew from high school got out before the Iraq invasion, said “that sucked” and set about going to school on a full ride, but one younger, late enlisted guy was in his last year when he got sent over. everybody prior to that was like stationed in places like Germany or San Diego and doing nonsense like checking boxes, handing out socks, or guarding a warehouse of toilet parts. the work was described as mind numbing, but they liked the places they got to visit when on leave.
he went over to iraq kinda dumb and cameback fully dumb but full of confidence and started carrying a handgun literally everywhere. didn’t use the GI bill at all, and was pretty much the nail in the coffin for anybody I knew from high school believing the military opened doors anymore.
What an unbelievable sucker
1000% it’s crazy how much that benefit covers. tuition, expenses, housing, food, living. I knew this clown that did 4 in the Chair Force and legit just hung the fuck out in college, like how people dream college years should be. bikeable/walkable housing off campus, plenty of money for restaurants, nice clothes, weed/booze, spring/summer trips, no need to have a job. and he had more money in savings after finishing than when he started. basically, how it should be for anyone.
my cousin, on the other hand, is one of the dipshits that went “career” and will never use the GI bill. barely literate, new trucks/jet skis all the time, upside down on every asset. the poster child for credit counseling and car title/payday loan strip malls right off base. I went to his second wedding (he was like 26) and it was obvious crazy expensive.
I legit cannot even imagine what he would do with himself if someone wasn’t standing over him telling him which pile of socks to hand out. probably illegally drag racing mustangs on public roads.
That’s already the case in Germany.
I’ve ben seeing more pro join the military propaganda lately, even at anime conventions. Guess the new Top Gun didn’t work so they’re getting more creative
i mean, we already have multiple generations of people playing COD which is funded and promoted by the us military, and that isnt gonna change anytime soon
On the one hand, those games are ridiculous imperialist military propaganda overseen by the DoD
On the other hand, a lot of players never touch the campaigns and the multiplayer from CoD4 to BO2 was really good, so it’s impossible to tell if it’s bad or not
spoiler
I know, they’re bad
Which CoD4 and which BO2
Are there already remakes of both of them? fuck lmao
As someone with a ‘real degree’ I want to fist fight everyone who says that. They’re just telling on themselves that they’ve never read a book outside of assigned reading.
The one-handed “mobile infantry made me the man I am today!” guy will be some 45 year old who his nuts blown off in Iraq by a brave resistance fighter around 2005
