At what point do you lose all respect for anyone who joins the military?

You could kinda have done the same thing and not gotten disabled in the process.

Unless you just faking your disability like 90% of the people in the military hereby proving OP correct.

A or B :mjgrin:

I’m curious to hear you to explain how I could have done the same thing

:patrice:

A lot are joining because of the benefits it provides them. Are we really going to blame folks who come from shytty backgrounds trying to seek opportunities when most of the doors are closed to them? There's a difference between the breh tryna join to go kill someone and the breh tryna join cuz he'll be able to afford college this way


I think back to the unintended consequences of WW2. It’s the black veterans from the U.S. and Africa who fought in WW2 who came back and realized they could not put up with the hypocrisy of apartheid and colonialism after fighting the Nazis. The white global power structure wasn’t prepared for that. :heh:

That’s why I can’t fault my homies who joined the military after HS despite my loathing for the American empire.

I can never blame a breh who joins the military. Despite my opposition to the American empire, It’s a perverse jobs program. :heh:

I think back to WW2. It’s the military guys who went out and saw the world here and in Africa, that came back and knew they could not settle for apartheid and colonialism.

The Truth
you can't join the military with ink? half the NYPD has full sleeves and neck tats :dahell:
Back then for the Air Force.
That explains it

Chair Force has higher “standards” than most other branches. They're like the boyscouts of the military (and can’t stfu the most, no offense airmen.)


Any other branch he could’ve got in if he really wanted to. Tats aren’t shyt, I worked with dudes (higher ranking too) who had head/neck tats :mjlol:
