    As a scientist (i.e. someone who went through a lot of academia) who’s strictly opposed to taking a gun, especially in the name of a state, hell no.

    A better idea would probably be to advocate for peace, so that people wouldn’t have to learn these things to begin with.

    Military is not productive labor, it’s just draining countless lives and resources in the name of some guy’s fucked up ambitions.

      Not really talking about the guns part. More the working out, the team building, the discipline. When I did basic training we only had like 1 or 2 days for training with guns. I was in the navy tho.
