I will have no intellectual training. Knowledge is ruin to my young men. Military job training is a myth. The unemployment rate for veterans is higher than people who don't join the military. 50,000 veterans are now on Government waiting lists for training.
Many employers actively discriminate against ex-military personnel.
Many soldiers who end up in combat are permanently disabled. Battlefield medical facilities often do not provide for modern medical care and the military medical doctrine which emphasizes returning soldiers to combat as quickly as possible sometimes leads to malpractice. Military doctors are officers and are protected by federal law from be sued by military personnel or their families. In the 1950s U.S. Army troops were ordered to conduct military training in the desert after nuclear bombs had been set off so the military could see what would happen to them. All of them died from cancer or related diseases.
