    College is insanely expensive in the US so lots of kids join the military because it will pay for their college if they survive.

      Fully aware, that’s why I reject blaming the individuals as opposed to the system

        Thanks. I was one of those poor kids who joined the military to afford college, so I honestly appreciate it when people are understanding.
