Simple logic would tell these former military people that this is wrong. Whatever happened to “Patriotism”? Can’t they realize they are selling out their nations for a few measly bucks.

It’s not as straightforward as it may seem. Money alone doesn’t always serve as the sole motivator. Based on my experience, some veterans encounter difficulties when reintegrating into civilian life. These challenges include finding employment and coping with physical and psychological issues stemming from their military service. Certain veterans struggle with the transition back to civilian life, as the presence of military grade adrenaline can obscure reality.

A government cannot consequently demand patriotism and open borders.

They way current political/social issues are polarizing society to extremes, it would seem a small step to act in an anti-establishment manner. Add a few tax-free bucks and you have a very ‘volatile’ mix…
Recently retired military officer here. Thanks so much for stereotyping us as freaks. Or am I misunderstanding you due to all the adrenaline that’s poisoned me and is causing me difficulties transitioning to civilian life? Geez.
