Scrap the Selective Service?

Sorry but there is nothing noble about being in the military. If we were being threatened by a foreign aggressor I would show some respect to people willing to defend us, but that has not been the case in my lifetime. The fact that you people are given jobs with zero qualifications and are being paid by my tax dollars to do things I don't agree with pisses me off to no end so spare me your self righteous bullshit. How about you show some respect for people that actually produce things in order to prop up all the ridiculously expensive shit the military does.

I think that pretty much says it all.

Whenever I see those stupid bumper stickers about 'standing behind the troops' I always feel like I should pull up beside the person, have them roll down their window and give them a piece of my mind. It occurs to me that this would work nicely.

What is worse, is that DoD is a very expensive way to train private soldiers. After being recruited by DoD, fed, housed, and trained, soldiers retire from the military and join private armies like Xe, who then charge the government even more money that it would cost to employ them through DoD.

They have privatized the profits of war, and left the financial burden on the government...

If you ever do that, just be sure to film it and post it on YouTube. I will likely pee my pants laughing at you. ;)
 
The military specifically targets recruiting in areas with poor education and low incomes.

Just like when Jimmy Carter (and every administration since) made lenders target the same people for housing loans/financing and set us up for fail. Woot!
 
Perhaps the current economic "crisis" is a fabricated *conspiracy* to gather manpower for the WWIII showdown in the Middle East?
Are you feelin' this one Esch?
 
No, the Middle East stuff is all about American beer companies. I thought you knew this. Anyways, this is for alt theories. Lets go back to discussing the selective service.

Thing I learned today: They won't accept trans because they are mentally unfit. :/
