Holiday playing wartime with toy soldiers? You really don't have any degree of empathy with other human beings, do you? Honestly, you kinda drift all over the place with this reply, in what I can only assume is a swerve in several directions just trying to take a dig at me from different angles with the hope that something stings, but wow, its fairly remarkable that you'd actually be so bipolar on service members. My whole reason for slamming you on your insane capitalist appeal to your financial glory was that you don't work to change things, you work to profit and then in finding further profit you put a measured amount of resources into companies that just so happen to maybe do something beneficial for the world. That isn't noble, progressive, or admirable.
You're welcome to the fruits of the service I put forward, I share it freely with the full knowledge of why I joined and how I wanted to serve, and I invite you to consider that you can try to do good even under a banner you don't care for. As an enlisted individual, I knew that the government did things I didn't and still don't like, and I remained vocal about those things before, during, and after my time. When I got done, I found something I knew I could immediately address for the better, and began teaching and helping other veterans to transition into decent paying STEM jobs. My motivations and my views never once had to change or became compromised, and nobody judged me negatively (out loud, at least) for offering myself to the public good. I didn't invest what limited funds I had into the stock market, I DIRECTLY stimulated the change I wanted to see. If I didn't need basic income to support myself and my family, I would have done it for free, too. Gambling with money isn't working towards change, its praying you can make a profit while somebody else works on a problem while looking for profit too.
Ironically, though, the military actually runs with a lot of fairly communist concepts in place. They test your abilities, evaluate your credentials and background, and then pair you up with a list of jobs they feel you'd do well in. You can cross-train or endeavor to move up, but they find you work. Your housing and food are taken care of, as is your health and vision and dental. There are a myriad of other services available freely as needed, from legal aide to haircuts to counseling, and the primary motivation they instill is service to the state and unity with your peers. If anything, my time in the Air Force encouraged my views on life going forward~
