The aesthetic and code of the military is cool. Like the preaching of honor, brotherhood, dedication, etc etc appeals to a sense of belonging. Then you have the long history of it and those strict military academies. And then on top of it, the ships and jets are such incredible pieces of technology.
Without going into detail, I’ve been around it a lot recently and most of the people in the military are just normal people and treat it like a normal job. They’re the complete opposite of how they’re portrayed as fighting for our freedoms. They’re also really diverse and most don’t give off a chud feel like all cops do.
I feel guilty for thinking this because of the amount of damage and suffering our military has caused and some of the absolute monsters who have been in the military. Even for a commie, I guess the military still appeals to a sense of duty and comradeship I have. If only it was used for civil infrastructure projects and disaster relief and not imperialism.
I know I’ll probably get flamed for this but it’s something I’ve needed to vent around similar thinking people because of conflicting thoughts.
I wish I could find the source again, but I remember seeing that the "most of the military are well-off white kids, ackshually" study was incredibly flawed, and only included kids who did JROTC or some bullshit, and excluded a lot of the rural enlistees. Again, I wish I could remember the finer details.
And the grasp is especially strong because it does offer tangible benefits during and after service. Like veterans get priority for so many well paying jobs like trade unions and federal.
My best friend's kids go to school in the district we went to, so I was back at my old high school for one of the kid's school things. It's a poor district, with a large black ad latino population. The JROTC was volunteering to keep things running and there were so. many. of. them. I started getting blackpilled as fuck, just looking around at all those kids who are offered no kind of a future at home, so they sign away their lives and futures to join our monstrous military so we can go and oppress, exploit, and murder people abroad. It was just incredibly dark.
