not surprised at all actually, but /s ruins jokes. i know what comes with the territory of not using /s thats why i very politely asked you to reread the comment
Good to remember that not everyone is aware of the bullshit by 17 or 18 when recruiting is at its height (gotta pay for college somehow, right?). I know I wasn’t but, luckily planned to do ROTC instead of enlisting, then, educated myself out of being willing to do that.
If “ignorance isn’t an excuse” doesn’t get you out of any law you break, it also doesn’t get you out of accidentally joining a terrorist organization due to propaganda.
Because that’s exactly what it is.
It is no different than the teenagers that join ISIS. Propaganda takes them in, they join voluntarily, they live with their consequences for life.
In the age of Google and where even the homeless bum down by the river has a smart phone, Googling to find out about a major life choice is easy to do. Failure to help yourself do nothing but use a phone for 10 minutes deserves zero empathy.
They have quotas blame the system not the consequences.
If they weren’t conscripted via draft, they volunteered. 100% their shitty choice to become a terrorist.
The average income of a enlistee is below the poverty line, if you can’t get a job you can get your ass in the military and make enough to survive.
You act like every life choice is binary.
it was 100% your shitty choice to become homeless. maybe dont get cancer and be in debt to medical bills next time dumbass
I’m not homeless or in debt of any kind. Get fucked with your bigoted fucking blanket statements dude.
you should read my comment again but in a tone mocking the comment you responded to originally
That’s what /s is for.
If you act a certain way don’t be surprised if people treat you a certain way.

Which I imagine is specifically why you don’t use it.

They are usually uneducated and poor with trauma in their backgrounds. They have no idea what they’re signing up for.
This is an acceptable excuse in 1902.

Why not blame both?
