"Why do they always send the poor?" -- B.Y.O.B by System of a Down
You fail to remember that a lot of the meat the military machine runs on, the actual soldiers, is comprised of poor and or uneducated folk, and those with few better prospects. And why do they not have better prospects? Because the system we live in is designed to keep you uneducated and under economic slavery so that it never runs out of meat for that grinder.
i do not fail to remember it. The solution, truly, is to do locally exactly what the US does abroad.
I understand why, I just think it’s a deplorable choice and I can’t respect volunteering for it.
They go through the grinder due to propaganda. They come out of it right wing asses spreading more propaganda but hey, flyovers at super bowls and preboarding flights!
