We can't control what country we are born into. I joined the Army at age 18 because I felt like it. Knowing what I know now, of course I would not have done that. But I did and that's how my life was and everything is fine now for me. If I hadn't joined the military, I would have had no support or safety net whatsoever.

Surely you should be advocating for improving your society rather than telling everybody that the only way to get by is to join the military.

If you joined back in 2000 there's a very good chance you might be dead by now. If you did join back in 2000 you're very lucky that you're not.

You can certainly control the propaganda that you're typing with remarkable efficiency -- shut the fuck up, bootlicker.
