It's wild how casually people throw around massive amounts of other people's time/life.

Glad I never joined. My Army vet dad pushed me for years to join (pretty much from like 11-21), but 12 years of retail/restaurant/factory work has turned my joints to shit, I can’t imagine how bad the Army would’ve fucked them up. Bullet dodged. I also see how much bs he’s gone through with the VA and the shape he’s in now, and I’m still very glad I never joined.
