If I’m gonna be working for an evil empire i’d expect evil empire levels of luxury, yeah? The peons never get that though, so that’s even more reason to not be interested
I’m just explaining that the military isn’t equivalent to Gestapo, since Gestapo was the secret police. So you wouldn’t be working for America’s Gestapo if you joined the military.
$35k is barely a poverty wage.
The pay is closer to $43k. The $35k is a signing bonus.
43k a year? That’s almost 30% more than you’d get in the Netherlands for a minimum wage job where nobody shoots at you.
So that US salary comes to €36k, €28k I assume you calculate your minimum wage to then? (28 + 30% would be 36.4)
About the same here in the UK, kinda need a reason beyond the money if you are going to join because the money is shit for what you have to do.
Oh, well in that case
Plus you get food and board paid for so that’s another early 12+K
IMO still way not worth it to end up working as the US’s Gestapo.
No thanks.

Military wouldn’t be the equivalent to Gestapo who were the secret police
Gestures towards Washington DC
Gestures towards Wermacht and SA

The food does come out of your paycheck if you live on base, but it wasn’t very much back when I was in. Granted the food was bad too lol
Sorry WHAT
At least when I was in 20 some years ago that was the case. I don’t remember how much it was per pay period.
In 2003 I made about $16k, or about $28.4k today. Shit is wack for multiple reasons.
