Classism at its finest.

People are also forgetting that mandatory military service is still a thing in some places. As usual, only the US exists to the internet.

Not any of the anons in this thread so far, but of the three men in my family who were in the military, my dad was drafted into Vietnam and died of drug addiction, schizophrenia kicked off by drugs, and, ultimately, suicide. My mom’s brother joined up to follow in his dad’s footsteps because it had been his father’s ticket out of poverty, and drank himself to death at 47. His dad joined to escape poverty and became a Rear Admiral—and a monster who raped his wife and kids and also drank himself to death, and was ultimately responsible for the deaths of his wife and two of his three kids. My dad’s surviving brother insists he was an entirely different person before the war and it broke him. My mom’s surviving brother said his dad loved the military because he loved having power to hurt and kill people.

Just because military service is mandatory at different times or in different places, or has been some people’s ticket out of poverty, doesn’t mean war is good or justifiable on those grounds.
