Let’s be aware, were not even giving our troops proper armor and helmets vs IEDs, nor are we taking care of vets who lost their minds (and body parts) fighting for freedom. Instead, were cutting fat checks to Lockheed Martin for experimental tanks with active camouflage, or planes that are way too expensive and don’t work very well.
So we’re not just spending tax dollars on the military, we’re spending it badly on the military, and then cheating our soldiers of their benefits (who we funnel from the poor who have no other opportunities).
Joining the armed forces will ruin your life, unless you personally know a governor or senator who will vouch for your character. And then still you have to get past senior officers who want to ruin you.
Also every year in the service, roll a D20. On a 1 you’re either dead or too shot up / blown up to have a quality of life. You get to live the rest of your life a shell of who you once were.
Well, yeah. The US military fights for the interests of its plutocrats, not for freedom. In the 1920s the whole red scare was used to push freedom, specifically the freedom of property rights (that is, for rich men to own everything) and the freedom to starve from poverty.

Wait active camo exists?
ADAPTIV ( on Wikipedia ) is one of the current projects on active camouflage.
They’re kinda cool when we don’t think that ultimately these technologies are used to kill people and take their stuff.l
