Sign up to protect your country (or get drafted) and you’re just cannon fodder in yet another foreign adventure.

If you're one of the very few to die, it's terrible, but serving in the military hasn't been that fatal over the past 2.5 decades.

It’s not just the casualties. It’s the insane wastefulness of it all. I get that it’s not 1790 anymore. But if you showed George Washington a map, pointed to Iraq, and told him we have thousands of troops there in 2024, he would have thought we went crazy.

And he would have been right.
