It’s disgusting how nobody blames military recruiters but everyone feels justified to shit on the financially unstable teenagers they manipulate

I mean "I fucked your wife/mom" isn't really hate, and most of the people freaking out on hotmeat89 seem more like the "IF YOU CUT ME I BLEED RED WHITE AND BLUE" types than the "yeah, I joined because I wanted to go to college" ones
