I don’t know how your military works, but in the US military, most people aren’t trained to kill. The majority are trained to sling wrenches, manage accounts, monitor software programs, prepare meals, and conduct necessary supply and maintenance duties.
Despite the fact that they aren’t out killing people, many still experience profound trauma that permanently alters the course of their lives. The suicide rate for veterans is staggering; additionally, tens of thousands of vets slow-suicide, which often results in periods of alienation and homelessness. This “resolution” is about the vets who don’t have the decency to crawl into a dark corner and die quickly.
Plus. Most Americans are basically told. “No education for you. No health insurance for you. No decent paying job for you. Unless you join the military.”
I swear they make the country shitty just to dangle a carrot in front of people to get them to enlist.
