cjgallen- "3. serving my country, honor, blah blah" HARDLY qualifies you to deliver me any sort of righteous indignation. You said "blah blah" like it didn't matter, and you were reciting it only because that's what we wanted to hear. Two posts or not, your words speak volumes about your attitude. AND it's item number three.

Also- "People who tell me I shouldn't do it only make me want to do it more." Another great attitude to have. As long as your recruiter is 9 years old, your maturity levels will match and you'll be in your perfect job. That's about the least mature response to an honest appraisal of YOU ASKING US for our thoughts and opinions. I gave my thoughts and opinions, don't whine because they don't agree with your own.

Carn: I didn't say joining the military was a cop-out. I said it sounded like HIS situtation was a cop-out, based on what he's accomplished thus far, and his meager reasons for joining up. "because there's nothing else" is a piss-poor reason to do anything, most especially something as important as becoming a part of the most powerful military in the world. Cults thrive on exactly this type of thinking in their recruits.

To both/all who whine to me- please remember that your military minds are washed to find any sort of anti-military sentiments abhorrent. Bear in mind that my comments have been perfectly on the level and strictly opinion, while several of yours immediately jump into statements and opinions that lack objectivity, are biased, and are inequitable to a person seeking real information and real help.
