    On one hand yeah, USians are the most propagandized people on Earth. But on the other hand, they’re not that dumb. Recruitment rates are falling for a reason, everyone knows what the military is really for and what it’s doing abroad. The people that enlist are generally those who come from military families or who want the benefits.

    Sorry if I don’t sympathize with those who are ok with subjugating/murdering other people for their career. Or to make Dad proud or whatever

      American here. A big reason as well is the military can’t even successfully bribe people anymore. It’s pretty widely understood, even among the dumbest and most indoctrinated here, that the US military leaves its veterans in the dust.
