That is the big scam foisted on kids in America. No jobs after college, but big debt hanging over their heads. The military is there ready to capture them and make good their debt. It solve a couple of problems for the government. It gives them the cannon fodder to invade and steal the resources of other counties and in stall puppet governments loyal to them. It also gets a bunch of testosterone filled young men off the street that would have too much time to annalize how messed up the system is, channeling that potential anger into the militay where it is tightly controlled and directed at whom ever they want. It is near very difficult to speak out in the military. It is a very contolled world. Imaginie if those 2.5 milion men and women were on the streets of America mad that they have been lied to their whole life, that is a problem the government does not want.
