    Trump has been in power for over a year now, so at least a couple of ten thousand new people have signed up since then. And a couple ten thousand more renewed their contracts. Everyone in the US military is part of the war effort and nobody can claim innocence.

      Most people who sign up as an enlisted soldier are dumb, desperate or both. Many probably believed the idea that Trump wasn’t going to start any new wars. And, to be fair, maybe he wouldn’t if the Epstein stuff hadn’t been quite so devastating for him.

      I don’t think many signed up so that they could kill children to help distract from the Epstein stuff.
