and the military is a phenominal force for social climbing

The GI bill would disappear with mandatory conscription

Currently it serves as an incentive to an all volunteer force

free college and veteren health care benefits. seems like the recruiting offices would be turning people away

Paying it out to every 18 year old in the country would bankrupt the US

yeah i agree it would

well, bankrupt it more

but currently

you can sign up and get no student debt plus get training and useful skills (beyond killing)

dont like the health care system~? well you get vets benefits once you leave the service and they look after you while your in

lol

not as good as it sounds trust me

so the 2 biggest issues american youths complain about have existing easy solutions

better than nothing

and better than the uk NHS

we have death councils

who decide if you are worthy of treatment

america your $ decides rather than a faceless beurocrat

I doubt the UK would make you run a mile pacing fitness exam with a broken leg

actually

my mate in the army had to carry on after breaking his leg

as the sgt thought he was faking

lol

he spent the next year in and out of surgery

still walks with a limp

here the doctors guess whats wrong with you

as they have a limit on what they can spend

so its trial and error rather than finding out the problem

Most medicine is trial and error to a certain extent

Though damn I had no idea about the price per patient limit

yes but you know what i mean

they wont run a test unless they absolutly have to

I had to threaten to sue to get an operation

what kind of operation?

after waiting 2 years and them messing up the first op

on my back

oof

hence threatening to sue

suddenly they realised it'd be cheaper to redo the op than go to court

back on point though. 2 biggest issues of youth uni costs and heathcare. military service fixes both of those

Or it amplifies the later and makes the former worthless

our gov pays about 90% of uni costs yet the crybaby soyboys still reee about uni costs

Here if you didn't pass high school you get free courses in the military to raise your grades.

But yes, there are options that people choose not to follow

And free healthcare as well.

yeah but getting a ged isnt hard

If you are in a really high unit you get free uni.

Had to walk a college roommate through those military options once

and is super accesable

He was worried his parents would cut him off and wanted to find an alternative way to pay

when i was stateside i did a ged, easyest exams ever

well, except your driving test

that was a joke

driving tests are laughable

but i still failed mine the first time through

here if you fail the theory you have to wait to resit it

when i did my florida one they told be i could just keep retrying until i got it right

I haven't bothered to get a license.

i literally laughed at them

Had to come back in a week

But i passed second time

Though yea, these no time limit up here

that was self imposed

i had a manual car or "stick" asked the instructor if they could drive stick and they said no

again, i laughed

here if you do your test in an automatic car you get a speshul marker on your licence and cant drive stick without resitting the test

lol

get rekt eufag

I had to teach my wife to drive with a gear stick, it was so funny

Manual is only for extremely poor or rich people.

^^^^^^^^^

id wager 80-90% of americans drive autos

did you know, all american cars are manual by default? automatic actually costs extra?

thats fine ill pay the extra

i sold cars in the states and it was about 2.5k cheaper for a manual

i guess with all your straight roads you dont really need to change gears often so wouldnt notice either way

although I love roundabouts in america. or 'traffic ccircles' as you call them

where i was no one knew how to use them

everyone would just look at each other

oh the wheels of death

lol

I never saw traffic circles in the US.

not everywhere has them

they have them in a few places, mostly older cities

After I moved they are everywhere.

thats a special one

its a roundabout surrounded by roundabouts

That's how not to build one.

first time i went round that i almost crapped myself

i was a passenger and had no clue what was going on

People on yahoo are calling for burning down everything.
