The US military industrial complex is a prison. People sign up for it for social service benefits that first world countries get given to them as a human right.

    I was gonna say, if your other options are poverty / prison, this isn't actually a bad deal practically speaking. Not gonna get into the ethics of military service other than to say blaming individuals for trying to escape poverty isn't the answer. When I teach about chronic institutionalization in a psychiatric context, the military is one of the susceptible demographics alongside prison and long term hospitalization.
