The ones that lived and had people advocating for them in the US did.

God yeah they are. Have you seen any military arms documentaries? Every year the military is looking for new things to replace their old stuff and spend millions. Not to mention that with any multibillion dollar industry there is gonna be some pocketing of money. Ex military officials will go into the R&D sometimes in order to do a type of money laundering but that's not unique to the military.

I agree it is 100% their choice. But it's not a great choice for many. People are stuck between a rock and a hard place in order to get the benefits of higher education and if they get through those 4 years and are left with mental scars the government barley provides anything for them.

That is my biggest gripe with it. If Vets were provided with the ample amount of benefits that they deserve after being mentally or physically crippled then joining the military makes a lot of sense. Obviously vets that came back without long lasting effects are doing just fine. Whether that's because they never saw active service or they are able to manage the stress thrown at them then the benefits make sense.

I did not state lower income neighborhoods only under privileged as it is a better blanket statement because I consider lower middle class in this as well.

The most enticing offer the military for free education is obviously a ploy to attract people from families that are not that well off ( well off as in the family is able to provide for the child through out 4 years of college without the child also needing a job to supplement).

At any private school or at least upper middle class to upper class school army officers are non existent at jobs fairs. Why is that? Obviously because the military provides no benefits to them.

Our military preys on the future generations of our society by offering them hope without showing just how transparent their support of veterans are after they been put to use. Staying in the military grants better medical benefits then after you get out because ( gotta keep their meat bags in tip top shape) why should the government care about you after you have lost your usefulness. After people have fought and lost for our country.

Active duty know they are expndable but its the people that are being recruited who dont realize just how expendable. Recruiters LOOOVE being in underprivilaged highschools and community college preying on lower income people that want a better life.

What better place then using the poor to fill the ranks.

I work 911 and am always saddended by all the homeless VAs that choose to be homeless because its honestly easier for them. Neglected and forgotten so many of our soldiers.

We have already failed if we can onky offer them free care when they are already in "suicidal crisis" to me that just sounds like fancy talk for oh no they attempted to commit suicide we better help them now.

When we should already be helping them. When soldiers healthcare is on par with the cheapest healthcare the average citizen can also obtain why did they have to fight and sacrifice so much.

I hope more soldiers and future soldiers realize this. That they arent fighting for freedom at least not right now. They are just cheap expendables for the Government playing on their patriotic spirit.

If somehow we perfected time travel you can bet space travel was developed a lot sooner. Space travel screams weapons of war and boy does humanity loves its toys.

Damn wished I could have caught this when you were here. Have yall considered checking out traditional tattoo ink from stick and poke artists in tribes and the like?

says the person on reddit typing this to an academic doing research.

What i'm assuming is that each device is already a min computer in of itself and how we build supercomputers is linking a bunch of computers together in a network to increase computing power. Now each smartwatch is constantly keeping track of everything we do from elevation we walk, steps, and heart rate. This means these are very sensitive devices able to differentiate different movements.

This is just a wild assumption based off what we know smart watches can do but because they are casting such a wide net the watches are able to sense differences in the environment and if several are sensing the same movement then it'll set off the alert system.

The simplest answer would just be google just has its own private seismometer thats is just better lmao.

I don't think the example you are using is correct. What I am referencing is something you had no length of time to prepare for.

Example being 10 sec forewarning notification of an active shooter in your area is better than no alert right?

To me people complaining about getting such a short time span of a warning confuses since the only other option would have been no warning at all.

Anybody that works in Emergency Services will tell you 10 sec is a hella long time to prep for something.

Umm did anyone else read this in Lazlos voice (What we do in the shadows)? No no? Just me?
