Join the army?

Why DO people join the army?   We should make it illegal!  In fact I think it's a crime to allure youngsters into joining the Army as a "good reliable job" abuse them, brainwash them, brutalise them and then send them off to kill people!

It's a lie to say our young people are "fighting a war" - there IS no war!

If no one joined the army - how good would that be? If everyone sued the army for abuse - how good would that be? If people who worked in the armed forces became pariahs instead of heroes (we know how to do this because we've already done it to smokers) - how good would that be?  If every person on this alien planet, practiced harmlessness - how good would THAT be?
