        60% of the military comes from middle class volunteers. Less than 20% come from wealthy families.

        And the rich ones will almost guaranteed have a degree and go in as officers, also attending places like the Air Force Academy or West Point, rather than work their way way up from the bottom.

    The unfortunate reality is if you can convince Hispanic immigrants to support Hitler to Hispanic immigrants, which seemed to happen in disturbing numbers in 2024, you can convince the same lot of dipshits to join the military while you’re actively sending their families to concentration camps.

    There’ll certainly be thousands who fall in lone as they did 2 years ago.

      There was a group of Jews who supported Hitler thinking they were part of the “good ones”. That didn’t turn out too well for them either.
