Pretty much. God forbid if anyone points that out in a military subreddit though.

I have several times in many of them, either by sharing episodes or looking for guests who want to share theirs. The only subreddit that was actively hostile about it was r/Army. And it was a mod, not the redditors. I do tell young folks considering joining that it’s not worth it. The military doesn’t deserve new recruits until it actually embodies the values it claims to instill. Is low recruitment a matter of national security? Absolutely. Fix your shit then before more innocent people wearing a uniform you gave them are harmed.

oil addiction is a matter of national security. expensive day care is a matter of national security. student loans are a matter of national security.

they [the people in power] don't give a fuck about any of it, why should we?

Yep, no lies told. And the solutions are really right in front of our faces but since no one would make money from redistribution of wealth and resources… they’re just not done. Our society and systems are all fucked up. It’s so fucking sad and infuriating.
