    Not necessarily stupid. There’s a reason military recruitment primarily comes from the poorest parts of the nation with the least opportunities

      Maybe if my neighbors stopped voting for the party that wants them to stay poor, they would have more opportunities besides being tools of American Imperialism?

        I mean yeah I’d love for that to happen. Doesn’t change the fact that there are plenty of people who have/continue to see it as the only realistic path out of whatever situation they’re in. We’re not in disagreement that the root cause of it is bad.
