      On top of that, the U.S. spent 20 years "nation building" in Afghanistan, under the auspices of "liberating the Afghan people from tyranny and oppression". The majority of the Afghan people wanted American forces to leave their country the moment the first wave of troops arrived on their soil.

      Be an officer. Enroll in ROTC to earn a commission. Officers are treated way better than enlisted soldiers. If you can suck up four years of college indoctrination, the return on investment is ENORMOUS as an officer. Most cadets are getting one of their top branches these days (infantry, armor, aviation... those are branches). You have a more personal relationship with your branch manager, and you can influence change in your organization. However, enlisted soldiers are at the whim of the Army for most of their careers, at least until they pin E-7 or E-8. Pick a super cheap college, like Black Hills State, Winona State, or Chadron State.... or some other cheap state university. Their ROTC programs are excellent, and you can get a scholarship through ROTC that will cover tuition, or possibly even allow you to pocket a little cash if you use the stipend, rather than the tuition & fees option. You can apply on an ROTC scholarship during senior year of high school (until mid February). But, you can also apply on campus.

Gear can easily be replaced or recovered later but a soldiers life can not once that man or woman dies that’s it you’d think they would do well to remember that but it seems to be the perennial issue with government in any form and throughout history to only care about the perpetuation of the state and the power and wealth of those who run it rather than it’s citizens whom it is supposed to serve. These people need to held to account and voted out of office or put in jail for the things they rain down on their own people. It’s disgusting

      The thing is... there is alot of theft
      so how do you counter that? You make it harder to steal. That's fine. But the problem some in the military have is that they are not able to account for equipment that was left behind in time of war, attack, retreat or FOB theft. So they go after the last one assigned the stuff.
      BUT the good news is you can have this overturned.
      My son served and this happened to him when he was asked to provide the stuff given to him but he was air lifted from war site so he didn't know what happened to it. We had to write letters, emails and make calls to get it straightened out. Some have to go to court to get the money back if it's directly removed from a deposit account.
