Something I really wish people in leftist spaces would remember is that military service is one of the few viable paths of upward mobility in the US, especially if you’re in a situation where paying for college is impossible. I’m not saying that’s a good thing, but it is absolutely a reality.

I’m muting this cause some people are being kind of weird about it. ✌️ I hate how prevalent and insidious the military is and how it chews up people up. Having family that served in various ways and wars made me see that human cost up close in many ways. Don’t get it twisted.

I heard a liberal talking about “the kind of people who join the military” and I wanted to get all punchy-punchy. As you say, a lot of that “kind” can’t go to college otherwise. People join the military for a ton of different reasons.

I can’t trust like that. They’re still the arms of an empire massacring children.

yeah as a poor person the worst financial decision i've ever made was not joining the military. a few years doing inventory or some bullshit in the navy would've utterly transformed my future

A not insignificant portion of SRA and JBGC membership is former disillusioned military personnel.

Nothing but respect for the people that have served until provided individual reasons to the contrary. And the lack of care that most suffer from after their service is the most criminal part.

It's seriously refreshing seeing a lot of US vets be loudly anti-Trump/Pro-Ukraine and not just MAGA cult weirdos.
