      They have those folks come to our school literally every week. Its so annoying to have people come and say “well YOU can choose to not kill people but only make the stuff that kill people” and people actually think about it. I understand that most people see it as ‘protecting your nation’ and that it’s the only option to get to collage for some folks but it’s still frustrating.
