It’s so bizarre when you find out these military bases are entire small towns with chains of restaurants, high speed roads, and everything short of a suburb.
Also, my favorite part of this video and much of the early COVID days were how clowns were wearing their masks outside where there’s nobody around, then take them off when they’re in a tiny enclosed space, interviewing their subjects at a spit’s length from each other.
Also, the soldiers deserve it. If I knew that my baby killing job would also include being systemically murdered, SA’d, and my complaints tossed out the window, I would simply get another job that doesn’t involve killing babies. Suckers and losers getting abused for a Camaro lease
Soldiers are not victims of anything. Personally I don’t accept the idea that they’re victims of poverty either. Everyone made a choice, they chose to be in the military.
Eyes Left had a decent debunking of this recently. I think the guest has their own bias they haven't fully taken into account but the underlying point of 'taking CFR/Heritage/whatever analysis at face value is bonkers' is a good one.
I’m not arguing I’m agreeing. Also I’m not completely sure if the idea that some people join the military to escape poverty has been purged from the left just yet, so it’s also a point towards that too. Not that that’s what they were saying, but more for anyone else coming into the conversation.
