QuoteI'm not sad to see the military can't find decent cannon fodder anymore of course, but the litany of reasons WHY they can't truly speaks to a population that is hopelessly psychologically damaged.  They're not just unfit to be soldiers, they're unfit to do anything at all.

Previous generations saw the military as a pragmatic way to launch a working career.  A soldier is highly employable after military service.  They do what they are told like a good wage slave should.  ROTC paid for college and many doctors and dentists with military service signed up to get the education and for no other reason.  The dentists in particular.

Why the fuck would anybody join the U.S. military now.  We treat veterans like shit.  There are no jobs to get trained for.  The newer generations do not hang with conventional education, because again.  The jobs are not there, and being lazy became a virtue.

Walk into stores and grab stuff for free or get killed or maimed for life with no chance of grabbing the brass ring.  What choice makes sense to you?  The pope is a dope and he would tell you the wrong answer.

If a society can't provide, it has no right demanding.  This society is not providing the way it should.

The characters in this movie went on to have kids, and that is who we are really talking about.  We really do have Idiocracy 500 years early.
