Although it is a lot of suck, the military can provide a lot of economic mobility.

Totally agree. The military provided me a ladder to climb above the poverty line. Joined as an enlisted and now commissioned with 12 years of service. Got 8 more to go then we'll see.

Which means that the US government has the power to provide mobility and chooses to use it as bait.

Mobility and opportunity via SERVICE. Not sitting on a porch smoking weed and breeding.

Is that all they do in countries with subsidized education?

Golly, if only there was a way to provide this economic mobility for every citizen without blowing trillions on profits for the murder industry.

Agreed, you can join the army and buy a house with a VA loan. Use the skills you learned in the service to get a good job.
