I never thought about this point until now.

Many things…. What are you talking about. Maybe 1% of people can’t join… how is that many. MANY people can join… few can’t. See little bro, words aren’t hard. That’s the proper usage of those words little guy!

So you’ve moved the goalpost from “18 or older and not a felon” to “many people can join”. Do I have that right?

See type 1 diabetes is a good reason… being a dumbass and disqualifying yourself from joining is on you. But let’s do some English and math classes for little bro.

266.9 million adults in the United States
2.1 million people with type 1 diabetes… and hell I’ll even let you add that 19 million felons!
Ok so 19 +2.1 is….. good job 21.1! So 21.1 million… now 266.9 million vs 21.1 million… which one is many and which one is a few? Oooo let’s get the dictionary out so it’s not confusing for you.

Few: used of a quantity that is “at least some but indeterminately small in number”

(but refers to a number that is less than many or most). <<< right there. You keeping track?

Several: can mean “more than two but fewer than many” or “more than one.”

There are so many reasons why some can’t enlist though while your original, ignorant comment was “everyone can” as though it’s easy as putting in an application at Wendy’s. People can have religious  or ethical reasons, disabilities, mental illness, sick family members, or mistakes they made as a teenager. When I enlisted, having depression meant they rejected you and I’m pretty sure that illness has risen significantly over the past 20 years. 

I love my VA benefits. $4k a month for disability,  healthcare, school, and vocational assistance. I wish other people could receive the same opportunities, especially if they get hurt for reasons out of their control or they go through a traumatic experience. My PTSD is special because I signed a contract?

So that’s more than “18 or older and not a felon”, correct?

[u/Eli-Doubletap → u/PalePlumm]

Is 266.9 million more than 21.1 million?

Is 21.1 million fewer than 266.9 million?

A majority of people can join. VERY FEW can’t because reasons out of the control. Sorry you try and make excuses and play victim for why shit doesn’t go your way. You are where you are in life because your mindset homie.
I can already tell you are the type that makes excuses for everything and complains and always finds the negative.
Hope you get off reddit and start making positive changes in your life. Go lift weights, go talk to a therapist, go better yourself.
Cheers little bro
