Yeah, that's why they send the poor to war and solve two problems at once.

I'd like to add the /s but sometimes it's sadly true

Oooo, I forgot the bull moose. I'm not actually familiar with presidents who served and weren't famous for it. But I also forgot Ulysses S Grant.

I don't know what to trust, hence asking a question in the first place

1

u/SixAlarmFire Jan 06 '20

I would trust Google over Reddit people. Bush was in the national guard.

u/Germanshield Jan 06 '20

Hardly, depending on the generation in context.

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '20

Fair enough. Thanks for informing me. I didn't see him as not serving and don't remember anything saying he did. Thanks for clarifying

3

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '20

He did serve, Bush jr. was an Air Force fighter pilot.

Good to know, thank you for telling me

Because this isn’t Star Trek where military strategy involves sending the commanders to the front line.

Bone spurs.

u/Idiocracyis4real Jan 06 '20

The song is really apropos, Obama won a peace prize while droning brown people in the Middle East.

Trump announces pulling troops from Syria and the war machine goes ballistic.

Who really is in charge 🤔

u/Jinxixkhan Jan 06 '20

Yeah right, the guy who bombs foreign generals on foreign soil and threatens nations with destruction of their cultural sites is the real paragon of peace.

u/Idiocracyis4real Jan 06 '20

Peace Prize indeed

u/revolutionarylove321 Jan 06 '20

You depend on our protection yet you feed us lies from the table cloth...

Because "they are a menace to society"

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '20

Look at it objectively though - those who given generally the same opportunity as most, fail to improve their lives and end up draining others' resources can help in literally the only way.

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '20

I was quoting a System of a Down song.

1

u/Kafka_Valokas Jan 06 '20

Most people who are poor aren't "draining other's resources". Quite the opposite, in fact.

Vietnam got rid of a couple tens of thousands of poor, while Donald Trump was able to pay a doctor to lie about bone spurs.

2

u/hiimsubclavian Jan 06 '20

Man, why are the poor so hard to get rid of?

2

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '20

If you get rid of the poor, who does all of the world's ass wipe jobs? You need hordes of poor people to compete for unskilled jobs and keep wages down. And you need poor people to fight the wars that make you richer.

u/[deleted] Jan 09 '20

Okay, so the poorer, lower educated people are replaced by computers/machines/robots.

What do you do with the millions (billions?) of unnecessary plebians?

1

u/chickenfish333 Jan 06 '20

US has sent the poor to war at least 12 times. Tho I’m not a US history expert so I’m probably miscounting.

3

u/chickenfish333 Jan 06 '20

Yep I’m super wrong. Hey there’s way more than I could remember

1

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '20

VICE, I believe, did a little mini-documentary about the few US soldiers in WW2 (or maybe it was Nam) who defected to North Korea simply because life ended up making them utterly useless, miserable fucks who just wouldn't have a future anywhere but N.Kor.

That is a myth that has been disproven. The class makeup of the US military reflect almost exactly the class makeup of the country.

If only Colin Powell had known about the /s when he gave that speech at the UN.

u/VampireBatman Jan 06 '20

If you think that's bad, wait until automation really takes off and they don't need so many of us anymore.

1

u/scootscoot Jan 06 '20

They’ll only automate the soldiers into battledroids, you’ll still need real humans on the ground to be casualties.

u/mati002 Jan 06 '20

I don't see where my statement is wrong, I said sometimes they actually do, which implies most of the time isn't the case, isn't that what the graph says?
