Let's say you're a single man, a perpetually single man, in his early 20s in the US. You've been "unsuccessful" in the dating market. And you're not doing much better in the job market. You're considered "low status." You're disaffected. You lack motivation and incentives to work any harder than you must to keep your own life going.

Then one day, you're called to be a hero, to serve your country. Depending on your perspective, *"it's that bad"* might have just become *"it's so much worse"* for you.

I've already posed this question in a previous post (linked below). But that was *before* the most recent events involving the US in certain other countries. So here it is again.

*Would you gladly answer a potential call to serve your country?*

Of course, it's not as though that call would be limited to single men. *No,* but those perspectives are of particular interest given what perpetually single men express about their society and life in general – already on the front lines of social decay. What if your society decides you're not a reject after all. And it tosses you into some of the most stressful and demanding circumstances known to man?

If you're a perpetually single man in the US, maybe this video here will spark some reflection. You still have ***tons*** *of life to enjoy* as a single man  – *without "coping."* And you *will* realize that as you mature, if you (and Uncle Sam) allow yourself to do so.
