@miiamustang Fully agree with what you're saying about being unwilling to fight or serve in what is essentially a band of thugs with guns. But you're only going to get a revolution with groups willing to defend themselves against these people. The only way you can realistically get the weapons training, tactical thinking and self reliance is by either being the most self-disciplined teen to of ever lived, grown up privileged or to join up.
That aside, this lack of understanding as to why people might join up at all is kinda goofy given how many people join the military because of a bad home-life or familial expectations. If you can't extend forgiveness to someone who did something dumb as a kid, are you really going to build a forgiving and loving society? We already live in a world where people cheer for harsher sentencing and get mad at money for rehab programs.
