I'd only serve if it was defending this country from being invaded (which tbh the chances are slim to none, realistically). I refuse to be a pawn in the conflicts of soft-imperialism and government influence that we've been doing for nigh on 100 years+ now.

I DID join at 17 due to at the time patriotism (my parents were incredibly conservative.) let this be a warning that it is NOT the best way to do ANYTHING. free college is not worth the YEARS of bullshit you have to go through

My guy, maybe you don't recall, but we already tried that narrative once before, in Iraq. Spoiler, there were no WMDs in Iraq. Now, are we going to use that tactic every single time we invade a third-world country? How many "potential nuclear powers" do we have to invade until we're good??

This but unironically. Honestly that's the actual reason for basically all of our imperialistic endeavors this term, oil or minerals/ resources. The Greenland shit, though he tried to initially justify it as necessary "strategic defensive location", is for drilling untapped oil and mineral reserves. Getting more active in Ukraine, more recently, was so he could make deals to ensure we get some of their minerals. It's all underhanded and disgusting.

"Sorry I dont want a bunch of super dementedly religious crazy people with nukes" oh you mean like the christian evangelicals who own the president and are literally trying to bring about armageddon? you mean like the jewish supremacist israeli zionist government that's been obviously hiding nukes for years and has the "samson option" doctrine of "if we go down we're plunging the entire planet into nuclear winter"?
