Any recruiter that cold approaches me can fuck off

If that recruiter is trying to get me to kill people they need to fuck all the way off into the sea

“You’ll still have to wear a bunch of shit in 96 degree weather. Occasionally you will still have to duck. ”

My son wanted to take the test but the Air Force recruiter told him that adhd disqualifies him and he won’t even allow him to take the asvab(entry test). He scored an 88% on the practice test. Honestly this is the best case scenario for me because now I can steer him towards a better path without looking like the bad guy. My family has served in every American war for over 200 years and I’m hoping we can finally break this cycle of trauma.

This is from 2015, it's waaaaay worse now:

The Shameful Way America Treats Its Veterans

The number of homeless Vietnam veterans today is greater than the number of soldiers who died during the war

Last year a CNN report showed that at least 40 veterans had died waiting for care at VA facilities in the Phoenix area; the scandal mushroomed when an internal audit found more than 120,000 veterans across the country were left waiting or never got care, even as VA employees were trained to manipulate wait time numbers internally. It’s a scandal that continues to sting. A report published Wednesday shows the VA doled out $142 million in performance bonuses in 2014, the same year it was being investigated for manipulating data. And last month Hillary Clinton came under fire for telling Rachel Maddow the problem has “not been as widespread as it has been made out to be.” (Her remarks stood in contrast to those made by former VA Secretary Eric Shinseki when he resigned last May: “I said when this situation began weeks to months ago that I thought the problem was limited and isolated because I believed that. I no longer believe it. It is systemic.”)

$35k is barely a poverty wage.

pfff only 35k and you don't get to wear a duck costume? get real army boy.

A buddy of mine was leaning towards joining the military, and it was interacting with the recruiters and observing that they seemed miserable that changed his mind about it.

Their life seems to be worth more than 35k, who would have guessed?

Flip a sign or get shot at hmmm that’s a tough one

I wish this was true and that it happened more often.

Chad sign spinner might have been a veteran too

Patriotism = Military Industry Complex
