When I have kids I'll try to dissuade them from signing up. I'll hand them a copy of General Smedley Butler's, "War is a Racket" and have them do a book review on it.

Not because the military has gone woke but because we were never fighting for anything meaningful. I served with many great individuals and the day to day tasks keep you so busy that one might not have the time to ask, "Is this actually preserving our freedoms at home?" If you do have time to ask and investigate, the answer could lead you down a dark path which most would want to avoid.

Who benefits from our sweat and blood day in and day out is an important question.
