Yes, a lot of my fellow service members come back fucked up and need far more help than is readily available to them.

Yea, and vets miss out on 4 years in the work force. 4 years combat duty doesn't allow much job training.
They've also been stripped of the morality, socialization and religious values they were raised with, so as to be able to kill strangers and innocents when told to without moral compunction ("just following orders").
I don't think I want these wild animals; these moral reprobates, running loose in my society.

So where should I go? Now that I utter lack these things, according to you?

Good points, Floof. In many areas the military is one of the only viable employment options., and I also criticize the "economic royalists" that use the military for their own benefit, to secure and maintain markets.
But I also believe in individual responsibility for our actions and moral decisions.
"What if they gave a war and nobody came?'

I agree which is why I was at first drawn to this group whose mission seemed to be helping and then appalled that "helping" people who were having a hard time being non-military was in the form of promoting guns.
Vets need help.
(#1 in my opinion is never sending them on life-destroying missions over trivial corporate greed)
Once they become vets, we need to help them regain their footing. And it takes effort and caring.
NOT, it seems kind of obvious to me, things that put them right back into their combat mindset. Like AR-15s and 1,000 rounds of ammo.
Why not an electric skillet and 1,000 food ingredients?
Why not a job and 1,000 hours of training?
Why not a wheelchair and 1,000 hours of PT?
Well said.They've also been stripped of the morality, socialization and religious values they were raised with, so as to be able to kill strangers and innocents when told to without moral compunction ("just following orders").

The main reason most people join the military is economic opportunity. Basically, we are a society that makes the rich richer while asking our poor and middle class young people to risk their lives in exchange for an education and a pay check. They are not responsible for the conflict and stupidity now rampant in our country.
Don't start demonizing soldiers. Demonize the rich cowards who funnel human beings through an inhumane control system so they can send them off to kill people in other countries.
