Isn’t one of the common complaints about US military healthcare is that it is notoriously terrible? You’d come in with your torso, three arms, and a leg blown off, and you’d be given a panadol for your trouble, whilst getting it put on your record, where it might impair future promotions?
Even for post-military, it’s still not great. There are countless anecdotes about people having to wrangle with the Veteran’s Association trying to get military acquired injuries classified as such, or simply not getting apporpriate care at all. Particularly when it comes to psychological injury as a result of military service.
Are you just repeating things you’ve heard from the Vietnam era? I have been fully in the military health care system in Washington DC, Portland Oregon, Reno Nevada, Los Angeles California, and it has all been excellent state-of-the-art care.
Not at all. I’ve talked with a few friends and acquaintences in Virginia and Florida who very much complain about the woeful state of military healthcare, in addition to seeing the complaints show up here and there on military reddits.
Or you could move to a country where signing away your soul and conciousness in order to murder people your governement deems “dangerous” just isn’t a thing.
I got all of your benefits, yet didn’t have to join a murder brigade for it.
We can’t control what country we are born into. I joined the Army at age 18 because I felt like it. Knowing what I know now, of course I would not have done that. But I did and that’s how my life was and everything is fine now for me. If I hadn’t joined the military, I would have had no support or safety net whatsoever.
Good thing we fund the military instead of public healthcare that would take care of everyone.
Well if you join the military then you can have free health care too.

It’s not entirely anecdotal, though. There are known staff shortages at the moment, although it seems to have been going for a while.

You can certainly control the propaganda that you’re typing with remarkable efficiency – shut the fuck up, bootlicker.
Surely you should be advocating for improving your society rather than telling everybody that the only way to get by is to join the military.
If you joined back in 2000 there’s a very good chance you might be dead by now. If you did join back in 2000 you’re very lucky that you’re not.
