lmao anyone who thinks this would work either hasn't met or hasn't paid attention to someone under the age of 20 recently. the idea that any young person in America worth anything to the military would choose to help this shithole country is laughable. I know an entire 10th grade class who would unironically choose jail time before helping the US military fuck anything else up. the ones who like the military are already on track to enter it and are, uh... not typically of "high value" from the government's perspective.
