I saw this circulating around and thought it was an interesting read.

Some of these are horrendous, some are funny, and a few made me think "Hmm, maybe not a bad idea"

anybody who likes these things to volunteer to do them.

If you like guns, then you need to be on the boat. This wasn't only true of people when I served, but culling our violent people by sending them where they've romanticized their involvement and (tell everyone) they dream of going satisfies that money/mouth issue and reminds them this isn't homeroom any more.

Voting to provide beneficial things like sewage and medicine aren't warhawk problems, so much as they are a hallmark to basic society. Don't conflate "killing in the name of " with fucking "do no harm".
