My coworker’s son has been having a hard time with paying for school and working 2 part time jobs. I don’t even know when this kid sleeps. So he’s been thinking about joining the Navy as a way to somehow be able to survive post high school life in a country that education costs are skyrocketing and jobs are scarce.

From previous chats, I have judged this family as not being entirely “Politically aware”. In fact, she doesn’t even “bother to vote”. Thinks both sides are the same etc etc.

Well yesterday she told me that her son has decided that enlisting is not an option at all because how the Republicans are attacking this man and because of their hypocrisy and she called them “disgusting”. She basically said - if that’s how Republicans treat soldiers… than they can all go to hell.

One young man will not be enlisting. Thank goodness.
