@TrevorGoodchild They can try but i'm not biting. The problem is they created conditions where people had to evolve and find ways to get by without their bribes and bait.

Also in terms or risk vs reward, the cost to you mentally, physically and in terms of losing touch with your community by becoming a fed asset, is still considerable.

Also keep in mind its just 4 years, a war with Iran will massively outlast the Trump admin, so if you do sign up you'd better hope whoever replaces Trump will keep up the incentives you will become dependent on to stay. Also in war time, I don't think they will let you go that easily.
