“He goes to the library with nothing but his “pen and paper,” and stays there until his essay is done. “Then I’m free to doomscroll Instagram on my phone without any guilt”
He doesn’t seem very opposed to technology if he just goes straight home and doomscrolls
Are laptops really new technology to this kid if they’ve existed for his entire life?
It feels ignorant when I see people blanket bash service members like this. Military members in the US are primarily poor, desperate kids with no social safety nets who are just looking for a stable way to get their life together. You can lurk around military forums, chatrooms, tiktok pages, YouTube channels or wherever and see that service members almost unanimously HATE the military itself. There’s the saying: “Love the clowns, hate the circus”.
Most cops are pussies who would never enlist in the military. More often veterans actually become some type of civilian DoD employee. Working inventory at a CIF, or being a counter clerk at the VA.
If they worked in a certain field while they were in, they can usually go right back to that field once they leave the military. Army S6 guys usually go work IT, Transporters go become truck drivers, medics become EMTs, etc. Even MPs tend to work in private security rather than police force once they get out, the private sector is just better pay and safer. I’ve even seen guys get out and go work for Smith & Wesson just from the gun experience. I’ve only seen one scumbag try and become a cop after he got out of the military, and he actually didn’t last long before they fired him.
Anyways most vets aren’t becoming cops, and most vets I know fucking hate cops.
What pointers do ya got
