This is very informative but, coincidentally, will not reach the people who decided to block you on sight. I’m glad you did it but I don’t think you should have bothered to do it just to avoid a couple of blocks. The Fediverse is big, you (and I) can’t please everybody and it’s fine.

I'm not surprised you met quality people at the time you enlisted. After all, you are a quality people. But more generally, financial hardship like you suffered makes joining the army a viable economic choice. So many people join around economic crises not because they love the idea of the military, but because they need the money and the job security.

They probably aren't anywhere like the people who joined the military just after the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001.
