A lot of what you say is true, while also casually ignoring the many downsides to being in the military (such as being in situations where you are forced to kill or be killed).

I have a lot of respect for the military, and part of that comes from the incredibly high cost most military members face. Not only the potential to lose their life, but to come back carrying a strong mental weight, and to typically have to fight tooth and nail to get the benefits they were promised for signing up for in the first place.

To say your posts in this thread are disingenuous would be putting it lightly.
