Listen,
If your nephew is going n he has many options for an MOS (job type).
Depending on how he does on his entrance exam he has the ability to choose a job.
Make sure it is a job he can do after getting out.
Heavy equipment operator (bull dozer, front end loader etc), medical tech, computer anything, mechanic, pilot, and many others.
Make sure he does not go in to be a grunt,(parachutist, tank driver, cannon shooter etc.)
If he uses his time in properly he can be trained for a fine job when he exits.
I told my son to wait till the dems got out but he is a Marine. He is a grunt. He loves his buddies and he also got certified to drive heavy equipment.
As for all the negatives. Civilians are facing the same crud. With all the sweet, loving unification being spread through our nation, I think all of our children should be taught how to defend themselves and their towns.
