    As always, the soldiers pay the price in the end. This horrible morale will not improve things either. I feel sorry for those kids that depend on these yahoos to be safe, their families too.

      I worked as a civilian for the army for 30 years. So yes, don’t enlist. They use you up then discard you like soiled toilet paper. It’s always kind of been that way.

        I’m married to a Navy veteran I know :( they recruited him at 17, that shouldn’t be allowed imo, manipulating little kids to feed the meat grinder.

          If you survive intact and make it to retirement, or just transition to civil servant, it’s one of the best pension plans available.

          But it’s the surviving part that’s tough. I was GS and crawled away on my hands and knees after reaching my 30 years. I really wondered if i would make it the last couple of years. So glad to be out.
