That’s exactly the idea they’ve been trying to push for the last 50 years, at least. “Give up. It’s not worth fighting for.”
I can’t blame you. I was in for 16 years, got permanently disabled, fighting for some kind of thing that whatever the fuck it was for, was absolutely not for the betterment of my country.
But it’s the one we got. You got somewhere better to go after this? Cause if so, you might want to start packing now. Shit might start getting hot soon.
The idea they've been successfully pushing for 50+ years is that the military is always defending our freedoms, which is a blatant lie. The military industrial complex campaigns that whenever soldiers are operating overseas - somehow it benefits you and I. Yet another of the millions of lies sold to the general public.
When I joined, back in '98, it was before any of this GWOT crap had kicked off. I was under the impression it would be for protecting the country.
I spent a sizeable portion of my life being manipulated, thinking I was part of the big stick Uncle Sam used to protect the country I loved.
What the actual fuck, man? Why can't we, for the first time in 80+ years be used for that? It might even be more than that because Pearl Harbor was somewhat dubious but I won't go into that.
Fuck, I say we like I'm still a cog in the machine. The indoctrination runs deep.
My country is not Israel, Ukraine, Afghanistan, Iran, the list goes on.
There is no reason to be fighting wars like that in the modern age. We aren't expanding our land, we aren't creating new jobs or strengthening our economy.
We are pissing the lives of this country and our money away on pointless interventions on behalf of other countries.
So you're damn right I'm not going to go out to Fuckbuttistan to fight the people we continue to radicalize for no benefit to this country.

Pearl Harbor was used to sway public opinion on joining the world war in Europe, because formerly, Americans favored isolationism.
We could use a little bit of that today. Globalism has done us no favors.
