    Starts at $24k per year.

    Plus food, housing, medical. More bennies if you knock up one of the local strippers. Money for education, sweet home loan terms, preferential hiring…

    Meanwhile, full-time work at Federal minimum is $15k a year. Biggest benefit is that you get to keep your soul.

      This also means more to lose if you try to disobey what you think is an unlawful order but when you get to the court martial it’s found to be lawful. Weird, it’s like we understand that these kind of imbalanced power dynamics make people feel like they just have to accept what they’re given and can’t say no in some contexts but not others…

          But it’s okay because these people “sold their souls” which I guess you say to mean they’ve forfeited their humanity?

            I respect the pigs that kill themselves.

            You’re still so concerned about yourself, and not at all about the people you chose to harm for a bigger paycheck.
