   @beardalaxy Most are forced by their parents. Even though they legally can't force their children in the military, there is a loophole if the child is struggling to find a job the parents can make an ultimatum "either you visit the nearest recruiting center or you are out of the house". That would've been me if I didn't go to college.

     the US military seems like a place people go when they don't know what else to do with their life and that's always made me sad

     @beardalaxy @Mr_NutterButter There are other jobs besides fighting front lines, but most (if not all) of them require some post-high school education. From what I've heard, Aaron Bushnell only joined the military because of the tech layoffs and that was basically the only option for him, besides working at McDonald's.

     @beardalaxy I mean to be fair it's better than not having any place at all and rotting in a corner.

     At the very least they will accomplish something being there in some regards.

     @Mr_NutterButter yeah it you call killing people and getting your hip shattered so you're a cripple for life "accomplishing something"

     @Mr_NutterButter Too be fair, it is a great way to get your foot in the door with those types of careers, but depending on your views, it can be a morality issue.
