| You are asking whether someone should not have picked the military career if it was the best fit for them, just because you are personally morally against what they do? That's why i dont confound the military with the political aparatus's directing of said power. Because the military isn't murdering people for no reason - they are following (in the case of the west) a elected official's policy (which you are very welcome to dislike and oppose, as i do as well). |

| The negativity isn’t anti-military service. It’s because this specific expansion at this particular time for this current administration is all very ridiculous. I think most people still are in support of the idea if military service even if that job may entail death. |

| ▲ | somenameforme 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Yeah just think of how great it would've been to serve in the past decades. Oh wait you'd still end up killing people in the Mideast - half way around the world, and in turn getting killed by them, all in endeavors that ultimately make the world a worse and less safe place. And that certainly includes America. |

| More than 80% of the US Army are noncombat roles. Only the naive or uneducated associate someone in the US Army with killing people. |
