More people are joining the military. A shaky US job market could be boosting the numbers.

And the moment they sign up for the military knowing that the invasion of Canada and the oppression of "liberal cities" is what is waiting for them? They aren't children anymore. They are monsters with guns.
And if they somehow aren't aware of any of that in 2025? Then they were never going to be open to any form of discussion or thought, period.
So, again, no, I won't be cutting them any slack. Because, regardless of what made them decide it was a good idea to oppress others for monetary gain: They are just people holding guns and enforcing the will of a rapist.
And ANY form of "Oh there are good reasons to join the military" or "you have to understand, they had tacos!" is just helping to justify the decision that shooting people so a rapist can get off is a valid life choice.
