yeah it fucks people up; and so does drill instructing - being on post at 3a to see make sure the recruits get to ranges by sunup, long long long hours that don’t give two fucks about your kid’s recital or timmy’s ball game… honestly rough work.
I always found it extremely fucked up that you’re allowed to do di duty with dependents. I don’t really mean the volunteers, they can do what they want. The voluntold with dependents are the ones I felt bad for.
Not to simp for the US military and dismiss the unnecessary lives lost, but I heard most people who join the military opt for non-combat support role. That way, they are physically and mentally safe but get the free education perk.
Seen many good marines not make it back from recruiting duty. Most people don’t sleep well at night after lying to a child.

Former Navy here. You can opt for anything want but it doesn’t mean squat if they want to send you somewhere.
People just up and quit after years of being enlisted because the job hurts?
Slight understatement but the basic jist is there
Thanks.
