    Saying you should join the military for free college is like the Hunger Games, except instead of fame and fortune for winning, you maybe get a shitty office job.

      TBF she joined the chair force of the biggest empire, so she never actually risked her life.

        Pretty sure during Iraq they eventually did the DIG THE FIGHTING POSITION meme to chair force recruits

          I seem to remember people getting pulled out of desk jockey positions and shoved onto the front lines of that shit because they couldn't hit their recruiting targets for years after the war started.

          Incidentally, the hot job market and the absolute dogshit pay/benefits of enlisted military is only furthering the strain on recruitment and retention. I fully expect the Pentagon to capitalize on the coming rate hikes and subsequent induced recession in order to restaff for the next quagmire war. Shit like this is going to be deluging social media in a few years.
