The US army uses basic socialist policies (we will help you if you're dying from cancer etc) to recruit. It only works because the US state refuses to take care of its subjects. The moment people are no longer desperate, the recruitment numbers will fall.

Except if you get cancer while in they medically discharge you and leave you with nothing. “Go file with the VA!”

I was in for ten years and saw it happen multiple times.

I heard people got respiratory cancers specifically from being in the military and having been instructed to burn piles of trash without proper safety equipment.

And then they got discharged, fucked over sideways by the VA, and died. Welp.
