Steelix500 07/31/20 6:44:27 AM #22:	I don't think its even a bad thing. You gotta understand most of these kids won't ever walk into a recruiting office. Those who do you're gonna have a bunch who either end up getting cold feet and don't enlist or they get disqualified at MEPS or reception in basic training. A career in the military is actually a pretty good deal. There are plenty of non-combat related jobs that you can get certified for so when you get out you have something to show for your service to potential employers. Some jobs even offer bonuses ( highest I've seen is $40k for some cyber security job). You get to travel around the US or get sent overseas, best part is that you're getting paid for it at no cost to you. You get health insurance, life insurance, your cost of living (housing/ food) is paid by the military and you get free college through tuition assistance and other programs like GI, 9/11 and Montgomery bills. I think too many people write off the military as a viable option. Yeah theres shit bag recruiters it fucking happens but you shouldn't let that stop you. Especially in this day and age when you can research online or talk to current Service Members on reddit if you're not sure about something. <cite>Steelix500 posted [p:942811813] in 103 dems, ...

2SweetforTurtle 07/31/20 3:20:47 PM #27:	Lonestar2000 posted... Yeah but you are still supporting an organization that kills people for profit. Voluntarily. Thats the point. You only serve if you acknowledge that at the end of the day, the burger patties that youre flipping are ultimately a step leading to bad guys dying. If you have an issue with that, dont join, nobody is forcing you to. There are a lot of fucky issues with Recruiters outright screwing people over, jobs that dont translate well into the real world, and ultimately a very poor veterans care system in the country. So thats something you have to weigh before joining. But I ultimately joined knowing that I could get a skill that would be useful in the real world and never have to have gotten into debt because of college. I did my time and am now a happy civilian again making way more money than anyone in my family. The military is a valid option if you weigh all of the pros/cons and how theyre all relevant to you and your future. --- Slow and steady wins the race <cite>2SweetforTurtle posted [p:942827151] in 103 dems, ...

Smashingpmkns 07/31/20 4:38:01 PM #47:	Lmao I was driving. Your source is from 2012 btw. Either way, Twitch doesn't advertise their stats for users under 18 for some reason. Looked all over all of their affiliated stats sites, their advertising stats on their own site. Nothing under 18. Seems weird for a site that's minimum age requirement is 13. So did some digging, why is it that the games (Minecraft, Fortnite, COD kinda, LoL) who's target audience is 13-17 aren't being represented in their data even though those are the games breaking record number streams? Weird! Anyways, I got it from an article I read yesterday Regardless, never said the military shouldn't recruit. I said they shouldn't groom children into the recruitment process and shouldn't use predatory Tactics. Willing to forego that twitch stat seeing as how the JROTC programs accept 13 year olds, something you gave up discussing for some reason. And those programs also are prevalent at schools in lower income communities with a higher average minority population. --- Clean Butt Crew <cite>Smashingpmkns posted [p:942829944] in 103 dems, ...

Twitch doesn't advertise their stats for users under 18 for some reaso ...if the vast majority of their users are above 18 then you have your stats on children, they're a small minority.
