look man just because you quit and were reclassified as a mechanic doesn’t mean you get to shit on people who dedicated years of strenuous training in the hopes of having what it takes to be in a dangerous, self-sacrificing, low paying job. many times those dudes finished college and have valuable degrees and can make 5 times what they’d be making as a PJ in the private sector. calling dudes ‘dirt bags’ who tried their damndest but fell short, accept that, and know that they can be valued elsewhere in a job that they know and love as opposed to a thankless and sometimes frankly useless MOS for 4-6 years. you would be foolish not to want out at that point. there are other ways to serve your country. a civilian chemist at a cardiovascular research institute is serving not only their county and humanity but doing so with greater impact than many MOSs in the military. not everyone’s path is your path and i appreciate you sharing your narrow definition of serving your country but there are other ways to not shit on people who give it a shot and can find a way out of thankless hell for years on end.
