alt Hacker NewsAs an American, a sizable number of Americans are lining up to join ICE under the promise of money.
And also, our whole military recruitment strategy here outside of drafts has been "the GI bill" – paid tuition in exchange for lining up to go to war.
I don't know that the gap in morals is as wide as you think.

Americans don't need money to fight. I was paid $0 with the YPG and had to bankroll my own time. Lots of Americans there. I met a lot of them that didn't even really give a shit about the sides of the war, they just needed to fight something. We're a savage people.
Which historically has worked more for us, than against us.
But is it 30k people a month, for years on end (or rather 75k considering US population is around 2.5x the size of russias population)?
Russians are much, much worse than Americans in terms of their eagerness to kill others, in my opinion. I wish it were not so.
