Can't even be mad at them. Poor idiots were convinced to join the military. That's the first time they got shafted. Then they got bombarded with missinformation that made them believe voting for trump is a good idea even though it very clearly went against their own interests. Shaft 2: Electric Boogaloo.
It's like a Pokemon that keeps hurting itself in its confusion. These people are in need of assistance. Somone should pat their shoulders and say "there, there". Best we can do.
Most people don’t join because they were convinced by a recruiter, most people going to escape poverty as it is one of the last things that allow for easier class mobility.
The military is not all out bad like people think, the risk is realistically low (depending on the MOS) and the vast majority will not have anything happen to them
tell that to the women who are raped and punished for it in the military. it still happens all the time.
