They sent a recruiter to my place of employment back when I was in retail. They asked me if I ever thought of joining the armed forces, and I gave them a polite but firm no.
So then they asked "are you happy with where your life is going?", trying to take advantage of me being a teenager stuck in retail.
Even if they werent asking you to throw your life away in some oil war to protect corporate interests, even if they weren't asking you to sell your morals away, they're aggressive assholes. So fuck them they're getting the treatment they deserve.
Good, you called out the military and I think you're not the only one who did not fall for it. After all, the US military admit they are having recruitment crisis.
This was years ago, not the current recruitment crisis.
But either way, I'm glad the latest generation isn't falling for it either.
