I know reddit is worse than its ever been and has always been astroturfed but once in a great while I still stare into the abyss and let me tell you... 
The fact that they're all saying the coast guard too, like is this the new recruiting tactic? sell the one that has less of a murder-y reputation, then when they can't get into that they just go with whatever they qualify for?
At least the top comment is better
The post is about a 21 year old homeless person in Arizona. You can not live outside in Arizona. The temperature in Arizona regularly reaches 110 F (43.4 C) during the summer. Arizona celebrates Pride Month in October because it's too hot to go outside in June. Also racial profiling by police is historically rampant in Arizona. The police very likely targeted this person knowing that they lived in a car. The state of Arizona is trying to systematically kill this person.
Imperialism is the only jobs program in the US. The US is death cult. The US is kill or be killed. "Join the military" is not an offer to this person; it is a threat. This person is being told: Join the military or we will kill you. It is basically conscription, "poverty draft".
If the US were a functioning society, it would have jobs programs for building better infrastructure and public services. The US does not have these things because it is not a functioning society. It is a death cult.
and this is why "are any of the troops redeemable??" always turns into the stupidest struggle session
I don't want to have that struggle sesh again tbh but I can wholeheartedly agree with the first and last paragraph as someone who also lives in a place that is uninhabitable for a good part of the year and has the same issues of profiling and using the elements to social murder and regular murder homeless people.
