This basically happens in the US, only difference is that the most people joining the army already sorta don't have a brain.

This happens with all the major armies around the world as soldiers get their 'freedom' taken away from them. They no longer think or act for themselves but on the command of some authoritative figure who believes he is right.

Speaking from experience (exposure to US propaganda, living in the US etc) I think the US rather glamorizes nationalism and standing up to defend your country. The army seems like a very tough place to be (trying to be as objective as possible).

And again, I don't see the difference between the US and countries like England when it comes to the army. Many countries do the same, glamorizing the idea of standing up to join the army and protect the country.

America really does glamorize being in the Army, they say you will be qualified for many jobs when your done your service, it will look good on your resume. But in reality, after leaving the service, if you did the most over-exaggerated and over-glamorized job of Infatry, you are so fucked because the last thing an employer needs is a nut job. I know that sounds harsh, but war changes who you are as a person, you are trained to kill, kill, and kill, and when you re-integrate into society, those skills are no longer practical. Not to mention the countless movies like Hurt locker, and the countless others that show young americans in battle with friends, and the women they get when they are uniform at home. America sees itself as the greatest super power and military power in the world, and America loves to brag. I will agree that sure, some other Armed forces are glamourized also like Private Security Contractors, and even the british armed forces a bit, but in general America has over glamorized it and also integrated it into society as a norm (I.E. ROTC programs, and recruiting visits to schools).

I'm glad that germany doesn't have compulsory military service anymore. You are not forced to go to the army or do social activities.
