Joining the military?
#1
What are your thoughts on joining the military where you are from and the military in general?



#2
Fuck the military



#3
i dont think thats a good idea



#4
Do you want to be afraid of fireworks?



#5
There are three reasons for joining the military (aside from a draft):
>learning discipline because you were too rebellious or your parents were too dumb to teach you
>using the military to train you in everything you want in the civilian world and also using the GI benefits after your enlistment is up
>cheap but sometimes punitive way of spending 20 years to get a retirement

Choose wisely.



#6
imagine risking your life for a country that truly doesn't give a fuck about you.



#7
The military is just as flawed as law enforcement if not more so



#8
Free college!



#9
If you think you'd adapt to the military and are charismatic, you could do well. If you'll stick out like a sore thumb, don't even think about it. You'll waste your life and end up as a guy with a repressed nature full of mental disorders. Otherwise, you can easily get a chance to meet important people and as you may very well know network is more important than anything.

ours is corrupt and rich as hell..so yeah i am joining it



#11
Nah, our military be crazy, I ain't joining that!



#12
no thanks, not for me



#13
*reads in interest while 2-year mandatory conscription is a thing in my country*



#14
Not a good idea. Too risky for no reason. You will fight for a country that doesn’t care for you. And you won’t know the real reason whybyou are there. And if you come back alive, you will be fucktop. Crazy



#15
Militaries are such a waste of money but there are too many bad people out there to not have them.



#16
the military supports so much regime change in other countries, our military is a fucking plague to the entire world. imagine if iran just built military bases in a circle around the us, sounds dystopian right? that’s what we do to iran. it’s all so these massive
military contracting corporations can get paid. scourge of the earth man, but i also get that some people are born into complete poverty with no other way out because our country doesn’t give a fuck about poor people. so if that’s your only option to make a life for yourself i can’t knock that either



#17
My countries military exists mostly to fund and aid corporations. We have not fought a just or legitimate war in decades.. short of a draft there is no way I would sign up to be a cog for that bullshit. I'm not going to die for people who could care less if I die. Feel bad for the dude above with mandatory service!



#18
Unless you have absolutely no other options, you shouldn't do it



#19
Might seem like a good idea, but you have to know youll be scrubbing toilets with toothbrushes lmao
