    I hope your grandad and father recognise that this is what they have fought for. A world where their children DON’T have to join the army.

      Or a world where their children have to join the army for economic reasons to fight in an economic war for oil.

      I feel like everyone should have to do a couple years of military service.

      But only if leaders could be prevented from starting wars of conquest.

      Which they can’t. So fuck the military.

        I had a buddy who did 4 years of service (air Force I think) and came back with hearing damage. Personally, I’d rather not risk that for no real reason.
