..but I am firmly believing that our military is now another way to indoctrinate American citizens into believing that the government is the be all and end all.
In the military you do what Unkie Sam says or get some time in the brig. You do not question. You do as you are told. Those who question and/or refuse will punished.
You are not a good citizen unless you sign up for brainwashing and possibly battle ( that you may not think is legally or morally justified). And the recruiter will flat out lie to your face about what will be forced to endure after you sign up for the equivelence of poorly paid ''slavery'' in the name of protecting freedom. Freedom that you will not enjoy while you are a contracted slave for battle.
These people will come out of service and will do as told. They have been brainwashed and made to feel fear from their fearless leaders until the end.
No, I have not served. I will not, nor would I allow the government to steal children in the form of a draft.
If you are proud of your service in these modern times good for you. As far as I am concerned, all service after WWII is voluntary slavery with a positive spin for the sake of making you feel good about dying for a government that is not upholding it's end of the contract (Constitutionally speaking).
When it comes time for the government to crack down on the citizens who do you think is going to get called in to do the job?
Our own military (as well as foreign troops) will be ordered to kill citizens and refusal will be punished. Though I find it hard to believe most soldiers will disobey.
The great power that was to promise that I would be free is now a tool of imperialism and control.
Problem is that most in that position of power are just going to be following orders (like robots are supposed to).
