That is actually done on purpose. If you think about military terminology in general, it is very dehumanising. You don't kill a person, you eliminate or neutralize a target. Those are little things that actually have impact on a human brain, and reduces the moral effect on the person's mind. Same with drones. It's easier to kill someone if you're not there.

The extremism and nazism came from the deep embarrassment that the German people felt from the loss of the war, plus the allies basically crippled the nation to that of a 3rd world country economically. He became radicalized and politically motivated by attending political rallies and using his charisma to climb the ranks.

Bent Sound Nah, they do it because contractors tend to be more experienced and with less alternative motives. I hate to talk trash but most contractors enjoy the environment, hence why they join up. With the military, the benefits are so plentiful, its ridiculous to think even 30% of those soldiers are there to do their job, cuz they aint. They are there to get their college money, maybe an “adventure” or some hometown hero story, or to get away from home. Especially in Iraq and Afghanistan, where the US has almost completely reduced its military presence to support and advisory roles, its important to have those units willing and ready for combat out there to do the dirty work. I’m sure illegality is a perk. This all said, people also really overestimate how many mercenaries the US hires. The stat of them outnumbering soldiers in places like Iraq 3:1 is true (or was), but US troops in Iraq have dropped from hundreds of thousands, to tens of thousands, to thousands. The mercenary number rarely ever went over 20,000 and wast steadily drawn down to iirc 6,000 when US troops were, over the course of 12 years, reduced from 120,000+ to 2,000. Also PMCs have manpower issues obviously

So my long story short about a recruiter starts with me being at school on an optional day not knowing it was an optional day for testing. Was forced to take asvab test but got a free donut so why not take this career test. Was told I was going to get my results in about a month. Two months later I get a notification from Instagram. Mother fucking INSTAGRAM! and its from a army recruiter. There was a navy recruiter at the test walking us through it but I was still confused as to why the fuck a army recruiter is talking to me on Instagram. Dude stats his name and that the army WANTS me to join and that my test results said that I would be best for the army??? I was immediately skeptical, I acted very professional and asked him 3 questions. 1. Why didn't I get either called down to my schools office, a phone call, or email (all of this I had to put on the test) he said that I had NOT filled that part out which is bs because I wasn't allowed to move on until that was filled out. 2. What was my SPECIFIC score I got on the test. (I wanted proof that I should trust/listen to this dude, I wasn't going to have him waste my time) he surprisingly did have my score I think or he just guessed I never cared for the test results so I didn't check 3. Since he apparently had some of my information then he should know what I said to the other recruiter at the site. (I said I wanted to apply for the military air force to be specific but I have bad asthma and scolosis so yeah that aint happening xD) but he had absolutely no info of my age. (The question was me asking if he had any information about me that wasn't on my social media, like my race for instance, I had and still have no pictures of myself on my Instagram so I wanted to test this dude to see if he was specifically recruiting me for my "smarts" or if he was just copying pasting this to people in highschool) I think I asked him these questions and some comments on how it was kinda weird how I was being talked to about this on my ART social media. My Instagram did have my name on it but I went by SilverSerienty. This was the only info he had about me, just shit that he could easily find by going through my insta. Yeah he stopped messaging me and deleted the account lol. I have the chat saved tho so if anyone wants I could post it on reddit for some laughs. Gotta say, I had fun messing with this guy passively, I know I definitely made him a tad nervous which was really all I wanted to do.

This is a brilliant idea i cant stop watching

This is huge for me. Seeing this guy open up about his experience, and finding out my own was so similar. I went through Basic in 2004, so we were still in the old dorms; no floor polishers. We had suicide attempts by pills, boot laces, and even facial razors. Later on, I deployed to “Southwest Asia,” and got into some shit that’s honestly tough to live with. I don’t think about it all the time, but once in a while it’ll just crash into me like a wave, and all I want to do is collapse and weep. Couple of years after I went to the desert, I volunteered for a MEDCAP (Medical Civil Action Program) mission in the horn of Africa. We worked with USAID and delivered specialty medical care to over 1,000 local patients over just two days. It was unbelievably hot, exhausting, non-stop work. But that’s the one thing about my Air Force career that I can look back on and be like, “Yeah, man. I did a good thing. I really helped some people.” And that helps me hate myself a little less.

This has got the be one of the most memorable interviews we've ever done, it really stuck with me. I'm so happy it's finally seeing the light of day, well worth the wait!
