I worked with a guy (I’m an engineer) who told me he joined the military because he realized you could get paid to kill people and not become a social pariah. Really smart guy, and someone I genuinely enjoyed working with / learning from but it took me by surprise for sure. He was so nonchalant about it.

I heard about this two weeks ago, in depth reporting on the NTY and NPR.
