    “simps for president with 25% approval” clearly not, they were just doing the bare minimum to not get fired, as the other labels show

      Yeah, they’re literally just normal dudes doing their mandatory service that everyone hates. I think one of the benefits of mandatory service is that the police state isn’t exclusively made up of the most violent and conservative people in the country.

        Apparently Switzerland has higher gun ownership rates than America, but in order to own one you have to have completed the mandatory military service. It literally decreases mass shootings yet giving you the freedom to own guns.

          Yes and no, the ownership rate is high because some soldiers keep their arms after service. But you don’t need to have served to own a gun, you simply need a permit and clean record. Also a lot of people do target shooting as a sport (in a controlled environment, not like in someones backyard).
