Ed: guessing there must be a pay difference.
The poors will self select the paid military gig because they can't afford the time off from low pay sustinance jobs to volunteer.

At least 66 members of far-right group in rural Oregon standing for office

Revealed: anti-government People’s Rights Network, founded by Ammon Bundy, appearing to follow ‘entryism’ strategy

At least 66 members of an anti-government group founded by far-right militia figure Ammon Bundy have attempted to win local positions of influence in the Republican party in Oregon, the Guardian can reveal.

The candidates stood for Republican precinct committee person (PCP) slots in three central Oregon counties in this week’s elections, with some facing no opponent and thus winning their positions by default. The role of PCPs includes electing the executive of the county-level GOP apparatus.

The move is part of what appears to be a coordinated attempt to capture the local Republican party infrastructure, following a far-right strategy of “entryism” into more mainstream political bodies.

This could really hurt his other legal cases. Lawyers will be less enthused to represent him if he might go bankrupt on them and not pay the bill.

And they will be more likely to demand retainer at onset. One recently demanded $3M retainer before starting.

When will we start to investigate politicians and media figures for ties to our adversaries?

It's a fundamental national security concern and needs to be part of the security clearance program.

That's why we don't talk about it

Yea it's become highly enshittified and actively punishes users that don't subscribe. Fuckers.
