There are so many naive people in this thread. You think if those people didn't join they wouldn't just institute the draft again out of nessesity? Y'all sitting on your high horses looking down on regular ass people who join in an effort to improve their lives. The same people doing so your ass can sit there on lemmy and judge them. Be mad at how the Epstein class uses them not at the rank and file members themselves.
Be a draft dodger then and offer to help your neighbor leave, and if you can't then go to jail over the military. These people aren't cardboard boxes who have to do what they're told, they have agency to quit. Improving your life isn't an excuse to be complicit, unless you will literally be killed or starve otherwise, neither of which is the case here.
There are injustices happening right now that you can go to jail over. You have agency to stop it. What are you waiting for? Or is it just other people who can go to jail over your convictions?
