'Poor people join the military to die or get free college'
This has been going around FB, and I'm just speechless. It's such a remarkably stupid and insulting image that I can't even think of how to respond.
Do any of you actually think this is true? That the military is some kind of "hunger games" suicide job that will kick you to the curb with no experience or education worth more than a "shitty desk job"?

Is everybody in #offtopic really this stupid? Ok, last time: she is saying that college is so expensive that the poor see the military as the only means to pay for it. Since you can die in the military, it makes it kind of like the Hunger Games, in that you have to risk your life to escape poverty. The punchline is that the escape means that most jobs today are shitty desk jobs. She isn't bashing the military. She's bashing how expensive college is, and how the GI Bill is so heavily pushed on the poor.
