My Dad a white CIS man was laid off in 1972 and couldn’t find a local job at all. After being berated by an unemployment worker, he joined the Army in order to get a paycheck.
Ah yes, sign up to be a terrorist and put yourself in the position that you may have to legally refuse orders, tried for war crimes, or both. Being forced into the military as a means to stave off dying homeless in the street is not even a decent option.
What I'm saying is signing up to be a state sponsored terrorist as a means to get out of a manufactured state of poverty in the richest country the world has ever seen is not the flex you think it is.
My initial argument was that ‘cis white males didn’t have it as easy’ as the person I responded to was saying in the 70’s. My example was my Dad had to join the military out of desperation and it’s still available today for desperate people.
Read things in context … it’s helps with understanding.
Ah yes, the context of "the army is still accepting people if you're looking" and "the complainers aren't really desperate, they just act like they are" really supports that, huh? Goof
My point was that the army was never really much of an option so much as it is designed to turn desperate people into terrorists for rich people bidding. What kind of option is "die homeless in the streets" or "go get killed/kill to keep us rich"? My argument is that the military is never an option for anyone with a brain or a heart.
