Hot take: this also applies to military servicemen and women. Lemmy loves to shit on them, but some people make the best of the draw in life in the military. I know a young airman who was spit on and called a baby killer while he was having lunch in public (wearing fatigues). He's never been in combat, and his position in life is drastically improved from military training and benefits.
The person spitting didn't know the young airman only helped kill babies, he didn't push the last button himself... what a dunce.
He flies cargo planes stateside, so you're proving my point
Of course, he's super far removed and not supporting it at all. Your point is perfectly clear indeed.
So you are in the "no one is forcing you to stay in that job" camp?
