I’ve seen too many f’ed up veterans, too many guys living under bridges with not enough support that the govt should be providing them, to be able to recommend it, even to people with a matching philosophical belief system. There’s still systemic problems with how women are treated, especially in basic and early on, and in addition, unless you are very motivated and know exactly what will translate to civilian life, it can be hard to make the transfer from military to civilian. While my life philosophy doesn’t match with military service, I do see how it could be a positive choice for some…with some significant changes that I just don’t see happening any time in the near future.
