This. It takes very little intelligence, if any, to join the military. I feel like a lot of directionless / idiotic / family-forced people do it since they don’t have anything else going on / they were forced / they don’t want to end up homeless. The way our government treats veterans and the “leave no man behind” thing are both bullshit. I understand the importance of having a military but holy shit do I bet it’s tough to convince anyone with an inkling of intelligence or schooling to join rn

Well economic mobility is also a big reason. Free college, a guaranteed paycheck, free healthcare, housing, some jobs give you certifications in engineering, computing, and project management. I think it’s more of an economic/propaganda decision than a moral or intelligence one. Unless you like enlist to be a infantryman. Then yeah dumb asf

He’s trying to get a self-inflicted wound by blowing up his hand so he can get out of being deployed on D-Day
