      That is actually done on purpose. If you think about military terminology in general, it is very dehumanising. You don't kill a person, you eliminate or neutralize a target. Those are little things that actually have impact on a human brain, and reduces the moral effect on the person's mind. Same with drones. It's easier to kill someone if you're not there.

    I think they hire military contractors to do the shady stuff they don't want to be caught doing themselves. If it ever lead back to them they could always say they never had control of it from there side. You see this type of contractor bs loophole everywhere in business. Good looking public business on the front, but un mortal business practices in the back.

      And it's an unfortunate truth. There was two attempts at mine, though I only remember one where it was a girl attempting to hang herself from her wall locker. In many people's cases, especially young individuals, basic training is the first time they are pressed into a scenario of high stress with nothing familiar to them there to help; no best friends, no parents, no personal space or comfort. So when someone breaks, they look at is as their only way out.

      When ww1 came around he saw the war as an opportunity to become something great and give meaning to his life.
      The extremism and nazism came from the deep embarrassment that the German people felt from the loss of the war, plus the allies basically crippled the nation to that of a 3rd world country economically.

    • @AndrewJ9673
      @AndrewJ9673 4 года назад +89

      Bent Sound Nah, they do it because contractors tend to be more experienced and with less alternative motives. I hate to talk trash but most contractors enjoy the environment, hence why they join up. With the military, the benefits are so plentiful, its ridiculous to think even 30% of those soldiers are there to do their job, cuz they aint. They are there to get their college money, maybe an “adventure” or some hometown hero story, or to get away from home.
      Especially in Iraq and Afghanistan, where the US has almost completely reduced its military presence to support and advisory roles, its important to have those units willing and ready for combat out there to do the dirty work. I’m sure illegality is a perk.
      This all said, people also really overestimate how many mercenaries the US hires. The stat of them outnumbering soldiers in places like Iraq 3:1 is true (or was), but US troops in Iraq have dropped from hundreds of thousands, to tens of thousands, to thousands. The mercenary number rarely ever went over 20,000 and wast steadily drawn down to iirc 6,000 when US troops were, over the course of 12 years, reduced from 120,000+ to 2,000.
      Also PMCs have manpower issues obviously

      So my long story short about a recruiter starts with me being at school on an optional day not knowing it was an optional day for testing.
      Was forced to take asvab test but got a free donut so why not take this career test.
      Was told I was going to get my results in about a month.
      Two months later I get a notification from Instagram. Mother fucking INSTAGRAM! and its from a army recruiter.
      There was a navy recruiter at the test walking us through it but I was still confused as to why the fuck a army recruiter is talking to me on Instagram.
      Dude stats his name and that the army WANTS me to join and that my test results said that I would be best for the army???
      I was immediately skeptical, I acted very professional and asked him 3 questions.
      1. Why didn't I get either called down to my schools office, a phone call, or email (all of this I had to put on the test) he said that I had NOT filled that part out which is bs because I wasn't allowed to move on until that was filled out.
      2. What was my SPECIFIC score I got on the test. (I wanted proof that I should trust/listen to this dude, I wasn't going to have him waste my time) he surprisingly did have my score I think or he just guessed I never cared for the test results so I didn't check
      3. Since he apparently had some of my information then he should know what I said to the other recruiter at the site. (I said I wanted to apply for the military air force to be specific but I have bad asthma and scolosis so yeah that aint happening xD) but he had absolutely no info of my age. (The question was me asking if he had any information about me that wasn't on my social media, like my race for instance, I had and still have no pictures of myself on my Instagram so I wanted to test this dude to see if he was specifically recruiting me for my "smarts" or if he was just copying pasting this to people in highschool)
      I think I asked him these questions and some comments on how it was kinda weird how I was being talked to about this on my ART social media. My Instagram did have my name on it but I went by SilverSerienty. This was the only info he had about me, just shit that he could easily find by going through my insta.
      Yeah he stopped messaging me and deleted the account lol.
      I have the chat saved tho so if anyone wants I could post it on reddit for some laughs.
      Gotta say, I had fun messing with this guy passively, I know I definitely made him a tad nervous which was really all I wanted to do.

      Im pretty sure thats how most guys feel when dating/marrying someone. Funniest part is when its really the female who set everything up.
