I'm quite honestly thinking about joining the Army or National Guard.
I don't have a clue on what I'm going to do after High School and it would be a pretty good thing to see one a resume. So it gives me a nice edge when it comes to getting a job. Plus the discounts as well.
Eh, I'm joining the army after school.
In ROTC, which means I'll graduate and join as a Second Lieutenant.
[QUOTE=imarawrus;18780156]All I hear is a fool who is convinced his worldview is right and everyone else's is wrong. And honestly, anarchy? What are you? A 13 year old pop punk? Are you really giving someone shit cause they've got the balls to put their life on the line? Or wanted to make their life better? I've met people like you, anarchists, and in my opinion they're just angry they're parents didn't pay for their tuition. Not everyone has the opportunity to be an "intellectual". Some people have to work for a living. You leave me with more questions than answers man. And please describe to me how in this fucked up world we live in anarchy would possibly work? You'd be shot dead before you even got the chance to throw yer brick through the window of the Starbucks down the street. Oh, by the way the idea of Anarchy is in of itself an oxymoron, Anarchists organising with each other defeats the purpose does it not? Seeing as how Anarchy is no form of rule and whatnot? Sorta why the whole Black Bloc doesn't make sense. I mean, by forming a group doesn't that kind of negate the whole no leadership thing, right? Just sayin'. I used to think like you, then I grew up and realised that people aren't necessarily inherently good, and often times the greater good isn't what they're considering. So you find me a solution to social cohesion, a solution for all the people have their own prejudices, interest and malices and would gladly kill each other over them without any sort of consequence, and I'll give you yer anarchy. You may be a good person, but when shit hits the fan how much do you trust the person next to you? Government may be evil, and so may war, but they are necessary evils.
In conclusion
Anarchy=Somalia
and that's working out just dandy isn't it?
P.S> Some people have other reasons for joining the Armed Forces, aside from "supporting American imperialism" (and really? American imperialism? If that's what it is we're doing a real shitty job). Like, oh I dunno, honour, pride, making something of themselves, getting out of the shithole they live in (with special emphasis on the last one.) Would you say that disrespectful shit you just said to an Allied veteran of the Second World War? Were they too just hired murderers with big guns? Would you say that shit to the mother of child whom she had lost in a war, any war? That their child was lost for nothing, that they were a fool for what they believed in?[/QUOTE]
I'm in love with your post.
I joined because I wanted to better myself, and I don't mind putting my life on the line. I joined also because I'm part of something bigger than myself and I have the opportunity to see the world, and meet some great world leaders. I get to experience things civilians can not. I get to go to college, to get a degree in whatever job I pick, I get healthcare, a pension, everything I could ask for. Sure, some people think war is horrible and wrong, but without war, we wouldn't have the freedoms we do today. I fight so asshole anarchists can actually have the opportunity to try and form a collective "group". You can't please everyone though.
My life hasn't been easy. I've lived in ghettos, been homeless for 8 months, lost all my possessions in a hurricane, have lived without power, gone with out food, water or transportation, haven't been able to attend school for a short period of time, and by joining the Army, I am bettering myself and making a path for my future. I'm not supporting American Imperialism, I am supporting myself and my existence.

Though the US is considered to have the strongest armed forces in the world.

You know you guys can trust me.
Just like counter-strike!!! :downs:
Why photos is so blurry.
[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;18837937]We weren't allowed cameras, and the only we had our cellphones was in the bay. The only pictures of my BCT are in the "yearbook" some fat guy tries to sell you at the end of the cycle. It's got five or six pictures of my company doing various things, and the rest of the pictures are all just filler from previous cycles. It was pretty silly, so I didn't buy it.
I really don't see many military vehicles around Fort Huachua. This is the home of Military Intelligence, so we don't have much armor or heavy vehicles. I occasionally see Warriors (Army variant of the Predator UAV) flying around, and there are typically shadows and hunters in the area too. Not much else. Fort Sill was a different story though. That's the home of field artillery. There were always big booms in the distance, and I got to see all kinds of fun stuff. From some of our firing ranges we could see the artillery rounds going off in the distance. And Chinooks, man. Chinooks were flippin' everywhere.[/QUOTE]
My dad used to fly Chinooks, Christ they are huge.
