    Plus, it’s not like you can just join the military and quit when you don’t like how things are going. Unless things have changed radically, when you enlist you’re signing up for 3,6 or even 8 years of service with very little recourse for getting out (without messing up your career and maybe even your life).

    I’m sure for a lot of people working in the military is just a job. It’s a luxury to choose jobs based on personal politics and a lot of people can’t afford that now.

      I agree with a lot of the stuff being said here, but it doesn’t really help the case of service members that they pretty overwhelmingly voted for Trump.

        Yeah I know. Coming from military parents, I’m trying to not judge people too much since i know theres amazing people who serve, but I agree there’s strong maga bro energy in the military and it sucks.
