It’s called work for it you over entitled brats…before everyone gets butt hurt, I’m all for figuring out a way to get more assistance, but free? You’re kidding me.” – Tim French me: I want to be educated some douche: leave your family when you’re still a minor and become an imperialist murderer me: why some douche: you gotta Like we should be talking about how the military-industrial complex coerces easily-influenced, gullible teenagers into enlisting in order to pay for unattainable higher education. It’s not “I worked for it lol” it’s “I was tricked into selling my soul and bodily autonomy in order to be the first person in my family to go to college” My father was in the Marine Corps for almost 23 years, and his body and mind are fucked up from his years of service, when I entered high school he said wanted to use his GI bill so that I could go to college and get an education. SURPRISE, they denied him the transfer, and now the money that is rightfully his is just sitting around, meanwhile the VA won’t do anything to help with his medical issues, nor will they give him his GI bill even tho he has appealed for it SEVERAL times. I’m graduating college this year and he is still trying to get his GI bill. So fuck this mentality that you need to sell your soul and possibly lose your life to an institution that only cares about you when you’re active duty. Fuck all the people who claim that they “Support the Troops”, because you don’t. If you did, you’d be helping the wounded, mentally ill, impoverished, etc.. troops and veterans. also everyone can’t join the military???? some people have physical disabilities or health problems that restrict them??????? this is stupid af My brother signed a contract when he joined the marines that guaranteed him certain educational monies. When he got out of the marines after having fulfilled his part of the contract they tried to deny him those monies. He’s also partially disabled as a direct result of having been in the Marines so that’s awesome, too. Even if you enter the military to get “free tuition” you won’t actually get “free tuition” (there’s a lot of restrictions) and they’ll try to deny it to you also.But like… this meme is literally saying “join a group that will possibly require you to murder civilians so we can use their oil/other resources because then you won’t have to pay excessively high tuition costs bc your government refuses to subsidize tuition which is the norm in many MANY countries.” Like… why do you have to sign up to kill people just so you can get an education? That’s pretty sick. -- source link
