I saw this circulating around and thought it was an interesting read.
Some of these are horrendous, some are funny, and a few made me think "Hmm, maybe not a bad idea"

Difference being that the military, and particularly infantry, is legit the only job where it's acceptable for you to return home in a body bag.
In 1916, maybe it would've been a different story, but these days, I don't understand it. I honestly don't see how any millennial, gen X, or boomer veteran can be proud of their service or what they offered to the country. They should be pissed the fuck off. They didn't serve to defend our country. They served as a human shield to corporate profits.
They put their lives on the line for a paltry salary, and more recently an education. Which itself is fucking bullshit. I mean, nothing against those who served for the GI bill. Good for you. But it's fucked up that it came to that, given how much a college education costs the rest of the western world.
