Military members are the biggest group of bitch babies that exist. They're basically burger flippers living off the government teat. Anyone could do what the people in the military do, but most of us don't because we can either get better jobs elsewhere or we're not retarded. There are people who were in the military for 2 years between Korea and Vietnam and they spent them checking id cards in goddamn illinois and they're out there asking for veteran's discounts for their sacrifices. I wish al-qaeda was better at killing these people so at least they'd actually deserve their free meal at Denny's on veteran's day.

OP, I agree it's weird that a person trained to kill other people doesn't have marketable skills in today's job market. "Hello sir, I see you're applying to be a financial analyst at our company. Your job tasks would include supervising employees tasked with monitoring our finances and how to cut waste. What skills do you bring to the table?" "I shot people for money." "I see. And how can you help negotiate our overhead costs?" "I was trained since young adulthood to kill people for money." "Intriguing. Are you familiar with business infrastructure?" "I can jump out of a boat and kill people for money." "Alright, well, thank you."

Military is straight up the biggest welfare program in the US and yet the people who are most in support of it are completely against helping low income people on our own soil. I honestly, sincerely, do not get it. It'd be understandable if we lived in a time where there were legitimate threats against our sovereignty, but that literally hasn't been true in anyone who lives in the US's lifetime.

Yeah if you look at where the military gets new recruits it's also lovely rural red states. Being able to join a welfare state is pretty compelling to someone who lives in Texas or Alabama.

I imagine SOF people are even bigger welfare queens than lowly average enlisted given how much free poo poo and perks they get. They live on their own little compound with their own private gym with personal trainers and private clinic and private dining facility with private barracks They're the gated communities of the military world, which in itself is one large gated community.

Regiment is one giant college football team except the players are also all frat bros who get sweet hookups at their dad's car dealership when they get out. Except, you know, if you are an actual college football player in regiment you just end up getting teamkilled

Although I will admit, it's pretty bad rear end we hunted down bin Laden for ten years. That's twice as long as John Wayne looked for that one broad in "The Searchers."

It'd be cool to have highly trained bad motherfuckers teach or assistant teach at universities. It'd be a perspective that college kids usually don't get.

Aren't most SEALs high level enlisted too? They can make some bank reenlisting. The most I ever saw was an E-5 infantry (in a high-demand specialty) got $18k, tax-free bonus, because he reenlisted in Iraq. He bought a BMW, it was then repossessed like 4 months later because he couldn't afford the payments. He also got 2 DUI's in it and had to take leave (vacation days) to do jail time. I think someone got $30k once, might have been an officer. You can make some loot if you're smart about it. I also knew an E-4 infantry that reenlisted in the states and got... the coffee mug on the reenlistment NCO's desk, about a third full of cold coffee.

You must understand, that if these people weren't in the military they'd be AT BEST managing an Arby's somewhere in loving bumfuck middle america. They'd never see 30 grand all at one time even if they robbed both of their hometown banks on the same night.
