“I shouldn’t be reminded every time I leave my dorm room of how easy my life can be taken away ..."
So now if anything reminds someone of their own mortality, as a human, that is "emotionally triggering". Everyone dies. That is fact. These kids really seem to want to regress to being 5 all over again.
One would hope that being constantly reminded of one's own mortality would be a healthy motivator. Perhaps we need a draft, again.
Why? Force people to potentially be sent to their death so war hawks and their masters can make even more money off their blood?
Put some real fear into the types of people who know they wouldn't survive. Teach 'em some discipline. It also gives the entire nation a hand in the war effort, instead of isolating its effects to a group of people we train to be death machines.
Putting spoiled millennials into the military is the last thing I want. The military is the strongest and most effective it's ever been. Putting your average college radical in against their will would turn them into AWOL/Fragging time bombs.
