You only consider USA military to be a "failed system" because you don't realize its actual purpose. One might imagine that it's about security... which, sure, total failure on that front. The actual purpose, as indicated above, is to transfer resources from USA citizens to armaments manufacturers, a purpose that is accomplished to greater degrees every year. Taking good care of the troops would detract from the goal, which is why that doesn't happen.

- jessaustin 5y agoYou were at Camp Lejeune so you might have heard about "baby heaven". [0] That shit is just evil. No socialist system has deliberately poisoned military families just so the generals could get sweet jobs from private companies after they retired, so your experiences were of capitalism, not socialism. Calling it socialism just makes you look sort of clueless. This awful poisoning shit is still happening right now. [1] The officers who run particular installations DGAF about the health of people living there. They just want to "accomplish their objectives" which is invariably some wargames bullshit or fake statistical readiness scam. They get their ribbons or promotions or whatever and GTFO. Their grandkids won't have to drink tetrachloroethylene when they're living in some swanky NoVA suburb.
