Would you recommend military service for your kids? (lemmy.world)

...or nieces or nephews, etc. I'm having these questions come up and I'm torn on this. On one hand my experience has been like no other- got a chance to see and do so many things, forged the best friendships, housing/education/medical benefits through the VA afterwards. But those cons - the higher odds for experiencing abuse, witnessing or performing horrifying things, etc...all the stuff that comes with lifelong damage..

What's everyone's take on this? Would you recommend the military for your kids?

Trades aren't likely to be replaced by AI anytime soon either.

Noooooooobody wants to do them. I have a BSCS with 20+ years IT experience and I still end up running cable from time to time.
