While I agree the military is made up of an overwhelming majority of poor people, I think it's rather insulting to your friends to assume the only way out of their poverty is the military. It may seem like that for some but for most there are other options

So I can't support my friends changes they've made in their lives by doing something healthy? What so they were boosting shit before, slinging hard drugs, etc then they go to the military and change their whole lives around, and I can't commend them? It's insulting?
wow
I mean sure there's other ways out of poverty yea, but the military is a pretty direct way to get it all in one shebang. My friends worked their asses off and made sacrifices for the military and I'm proud of them, and I'm glad that some people take control of their lives. I don't care if you care or not that is irrelevant.

Your draft argument seems a bit outdated, as Vietnam was over thirty years ago, not that I'm saying the draft and the war weren't wrong and we should never forget the lessons learned but since then there has not been one draft in this country, it is all volunteer.

Oh so you don't remember when they were talking about a draft for the current war, that we're in?
I really don't think everyone deserves to be cared for is my opinion. Your only gaurenteed life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Nowhere do I see healthiness.
