Why is anyone enlisting any more anyway?? You know that your government views you as expendable. Not the good kind of “expendable in the pursuit of victory”, but the ridiculous, “expendable because we don’t want to win and need you to die to help the sheeple accept defeat better” kind of way.
When people ask me about the military, my response is now, “Go learn a trade. Do not serve this nation that re-elected Obama.”
Pretty much exactly what I say...become an electrician or lineman.
Expendable like Roman citizens: government sacrifices you for an extra summer house and extra booze while the poor are left to rot, and yet the citizens follow.
