I only compared the two because that's what the person I quoted did.
I was a Soldier in the US Army, and served several tours of duty overseas. There are soldiers who were put in the army by judges, who used it to escape debts, and who had no other way to change their living situations.
No one makes their choices in a vacuum. Everyone needs money.
If you all wake up every morning, decide what job you want, and just pick whatever you fancy, then I wish I had your life.Â
Can we not speak how a person's profession is a choice like what sort of dish soap to buy? In all honestly most of you have no idea what you're talking about, with regards to both soldiers and sex workers.
But the fact remains that military service is essentially the art of killing, primarily anyway, and sex work is not, so I don't see how anyone could perceive getting killed or harmed as an intrinsic part of sex work, and a risk that should be accepted as part of the job.
(Edit, I don't want people assuming things about me because of this post any more than they already have.)
When I speak of that sort of military service, I'm specifically invoking all combat roles, i.e. the type that would actually have a clear danger to the person's life as invoked by Calliope.
