Public education can’t do anything for people who refuse to utilize the resources available to them. In 10 years, 80% of my current students will be on Reddit whining how they were never taught anything in school and it’s so unfair and education is so shitty. None of them will actually take responsibility for the decisions and choices that led them to actively disrupt their own education and the educations of everyone around them on a daily basis.

Public education works great, for children whose parents have taught them to value learning, curiosity, and reading. It can’t do anything for children whose parents gave them a tablet at age 2, and then stuck them in the corner to play games, in order to avoid the actual work of parenting.

Just drop the cannabis and you will have a lot more people joining

The military is often hilariously dumb with retention because it’s assumed you don’t need anything and you give everything. Instead of helping to keep people in shape, there’s a ton of bureaucracy and culture shaming to fail someone out. So, instead of improving an asset they’ve put money into, they toss it out. It makes no sense in this age of recruiting and retention.

See, I figured it was that people who meet the educational standards increasingly have the sense to not enlist, seeing as the last few decades of war have been of questionable moral value and veterans are not looked after once they've been used.

Now I see why my wife find house work so offensive.

The trouble starts when it prints its own.

Remember Harry got himself one presumably with the help of his servants since he was royalty. Maybe Dominic can blame his brother for forcing him to wear it like Harry too

Gotta whip yourself into shape first.

Coast Guard here and most of my friends and family have some military affiliation.bthe other branches are no better. Thankfully the medical benefits and housing helps a lot so there is a lot of variance depending on a lot of factors.

No, pay is standardized across all branches. The usual rebuttal that leadership and the DoD as a whole gives is along the lines of “WeLl YoU gEt BeNeFiTs On ToP oF tHaT lIkE hOuSiNg, MeDiCaL, aNd DeNtAl, So StOp CoMpLaInInG.”

Probably not. Federal job, federal minimum wage.

McNamara tried this during Viet Nam. He drafted people who were "differently-abled" and he put a lot of people into combat who ought never have been put in the military to begin with. And many of these men died because they were utterly unsuited for military service.

There was a time when a judge gave a defendant the option jail or army, academic fitness was not a great concern until the end of the draft.

When they stopped being adults.

Really, in the emotional part of it, do you think these offencenicks are adults?

Did anybody ask them?

What's with the preemptive changing, its not even fear, its like "let me get a few public virtue points".

Just call it slavery.

Yes. And the best part is Masters don't have to do field work!

Next: "They dropped the term 'master's degree' because of the term's connection to slavery."

Im barely surviving, and i make more than that, why the fuck would anyone want to do that?? Seriously, we dedicate hundreds of billions to our military and they dont even pay a living wage...

Are other branches any better?

thanks. now there is Beef Stroganoff on my monitor.

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, dresses like a duck, it probably shouldn’t be the premier of new south wales because it’s a dangerous fascist fuckhead I mean duck

They gotta eat something
