It's a truly personal choice. If you love it go for it. It's a career choice just like any other. Major military decisions are in the hands of politicians anyways. It sucks that people point the finger at the military as they are just doing their job.


They should find another job.

You may want to ask yourself if you'd be capable
of turning your guns on your fellow americans if told to do so....
before you enlist.


i am capable of turning a firearm on a person if i'm told to do so as it will be my duty.


You should know that the excuse "I was just following orders" didn't work for the soldiers who participated in the My Lai Massacre.

It is your duty, as a soldier, to protect the citizens and if a superior officer tells you or orders you to do something that is against your own conscience it is your duty to refuse.

Don't let them dehumanize you.

I had two husbands who were both totally messed up and destroyed from their experience in Viet Nam, which was an illegal and impossible war to win. It was all political.

In my opinion, handing your life over to uncle Sam would be throwing your life away, but it would be better than dealing drugs and doing crystal meth -- which is what I see so many of our young people doing today, and they are ending up in prison.

Its so damn sad and tragic.sad sad
