Though to be fair I'm pretty sure Mottom murdered him in his sleep

To be fair that "well equipped army" is primarily made up of hick children who took the first possible chance to escape grinding poverty and are, in an individual level, even less qualified than the other guys

Last time I checked the stats this is a myth. The army is like 80℅ middleclass suburb dwellers or higher.

Can anecdotally confirm, I know a shitload of otherwise well off middle class suburban kids who ended up joining the military because they just hosed around in school and by the time adulthood came they weren't prepared to handle it and had to go find surrogate parents.

yeah, when they had trouble filling the draft quotas for vietnam the head guy in charge of everything decided to drastically lower the requirements and ignore all the people in the field pleading to send these poor kids home before they died or hurt somebody.

zoss didnt mean to give allison the key originally and was rather surprised at the outcome actually

he instantaneously realized the most royal move would be to just let the gently caress go of "plans" and see what happens



e: if i quadpost the time-traveling sniper stationed a couple blocks down will eliminate me instantly, but i just realized that intra used an underflow exploit in reality

Royalty is a continuous shitposting motion.
IQ is about the least royal thing out there.

Also, the US military in relative peacetime has fairly high standards (e.g. clean records, already physically fit, high school diploma minimum) but during wartime those standards drop due to needing more bodies and fewer people thinking it's a good idea to join up. My experience with vets is that they run the gamut of society, with the exception that you don't see many people from the 90th percentile up- especially not as enlisted.

IIRC, that's only true in that like about 1/4 of soldiers surveyed said they joined up because "free college/healthcare". Otherwise, it really is mostly the middle 60% of the socio-economic population.

I think you're not quite seeing the picture that a quarter of the median-income US population is willing to get shot at by jihadists cause that's their best shot at ever affording school and healthcare

what's a word for people who can't afford to see a teacher or doctor?

I mean, that dumb helmet probably made it really hard to see who he was shoving the key into. I mean, the eye holes were nowhere near where his eyes were!






Also he had no head when he did it. That also makes it hard to see.

He DID kind of get his head lopped off just before he could do it, and Zaid had just been kidnapped. So... Maybe? It's also a possibility that Allison was always the intended heir and Zaid was always a decoy.

All the explanations for WHY Allison was chosen, independent of whether she is or isn't now the actual heir, are equally valid because we just don't have enough information from Zoss. From his few appearances, he seems to suggest that Allison is indeed the heir now - but we don't have any idea if that was always true. Seems like that's something we'll get revealed in time.

like you know this really wasnt the intended result but so far shes hacking it pretty well and its not like the last guy to hold the job was well-vetted in any sense not involving the direct application of violence, so how much worse can this be

but also im not married to the theory ive just decided its totally viable


(the last guy was extremely thoroughly vetted wrt the specific capacity to apply violence)

That's not 1/4 of the population, that's 1/4 of the Army. The rest of the problem remains, though, that "Take a bullet for your country, and we'll give you healthcare and college" should not be such an effective draw. And the word is probably precariat.
