In the 2000s, military applications were through the roof. I went to a poor urban school. And the promises of joining the military was discipline and support. We were already on WIC and couldn't find a job, what makes this any different?

A decade later, all my friends who joined the military are struggling in dead end jobs and constantly complain about the lack of support. And they're worse off than before... Just now with trauma.
