How tall are you? That's a really hard cut :o

[Brendan]

gratz on not being obese anymore
On a more serious note:
Why would you join the military? lol I could see joining as an officer maybe, but have fun eating shit in the academy, and then probably dying on the front lines of a war no competent person supports. Being a puppet is not my forté.

Because I feel like joining the military would be a valuable experience. I definitely don't want to be an officer though lol

so u want a retarded experience and to be payed shit tier for risking ur life? Become a cop instead at least they earn decent money.

Cops don't get paid a lot. Unless they are stealing from citizens.

Actually, considering that, cops make serious bank. Be a cop if you want to rob with no punishment.

Cops do get good pay, it just usually depends on the district.

It's a lot better than starting military pay.

+pension+promotions are easy (take some tests after a couple of years in your position)
very viable career path in rich suburban cities like where I used to live.

[Brendan]

also the DROP plan is crazy you can retire with millions of dollars in a lump sum

[Brendan]

although i wouldnt want bruno on a police department so join the marines good plan

[Bruno]

Long term my plan is better.

Military 4 years -> federal agency

rip

[Helz]

Mad props. I have a ton of respect for anyone that is willing to lay down their life for their country. And at the end of the day someone that did 4 years will have a ton of resources and a much stronger future than most people that go to college

Exactly. It's a valuable experience for anyone.

You learn to work as a team and just so many other lessons you can apply elsewhere in life.

[Brendan]

at the end of the day it's just a job imo. good luck getting a decent job in a federal agency with no education.

[Bruno]

That's why you get college courses in your signing bonus u rtard

Federal agency's are required by law to give a vet a job before an educated civilian. And if you can associate working at Walmart to fighting a war I dont see the point in talking to you.

[Psyduck]

Brendan that's VERY disrespectful , I have family in the military, and have tons of friends that are in the military, they are all cool guys... you should respect them ..... America is here because of them, because of people serving YOU. I don't think they care about how much money they make.... Everyone has their own reasons

[Brendan]

what war tho. I'd rather sign up for the military than work at Walmart, maybe make a better comparison. This is prob why most federal agencies are perpetually fucked.

I didn't say anything negative about anyone specifically (except Bruno). I respect people on an individual basis, not in general. I don't believe America, today, embodies what our forefathers intended it to and fought for originally. My grandfather fought in Korea. He's a cool guy now, but that doesn't change anything.

[Ash]

war? WHERE

[Nick]

war? WHERE

no war only wildlife population control, kill pests.

[Helz]

I guess this is a soar spot for me. Maybe I am just some washed up over opinionated alcoholic but you have no idea what it takes to function at that level. Theres a reason every day over 22 veterans put a gun in their mouth and theres a reason I get offended as hell when people make light of what they give.

Some statistics people just dont want to hear about. And some opinions people should keep to themselves.

[Nick]

people are renewable resources

the thing is they volunteered for it. if you can't handle what you sign up for that's your problem. I'd like a source on this one because it's def an exaggeration. If veterans were killing themselves at this rate there would be none left. The reality is you're going to be ordered to kill people, and people are going to be ordered to go into situations they're not going to come out of.

That's only 8k vets dead a year, definitely sounds like a realistic statistic to me considering there's millions of veterans.

[Helz]

people are renewable resources

Some of those renewable resources were my friends. You are an ass.

[Bruno]

It's easy to speak like an apathetic asshole who only cares for statistics while on the internet Nick, lol.

[Nick]

Some of those renewable resources were my friends. You are an ass.

I'm sorry for your friends but I'm not the one sending them to unnecessary wars and denying them of their medical treatment lol. I recall reading nice guys are more prone to PTSD than those who join the army to kill people for fun.

Yet for the ones at the top, are we all not mere votes and resources? Truth is bitter. Ass? Say that to your leaders.

[Nick]

It's easy to speak like an apathetic asshole who only cares for statistics while on the internet Nick, lol.

I must make sarcasm more obvious next time.

And if you want more statistics, that 22 per day is just the tip of the iceberg. More are having relationship breakdowns plus other mental disorders.

[Helz]

Someday someone like me will make you eat those words.

First of all, F OFF, I don't know one single person that joins the army to "kill for fun" ..... Some people join to better their lives, or just because they feel they need to do their duty , no matter the sacrifice ... You talking like that , You now have -100000000 rep on this forum . That statistic is bs ... You must not be doing anything good with your life to think everyone is just votes and resources .... Little Pansie mfers like you can talk like that on the Internet, but wouldn't dare to say it to a military person's face.

I'm sticking with my statement that politicians view us as votes and resources. You may not like it, but it has happened and is likely still happening:

Nixon sabotaged Vietnam peace talks to get elected.
https://www.counterpunch.org/2014/08/...etnam-treason/
https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-21768668

I'm trying to find the "kill for fun" article again. Forgot where I read it. Will post it when I find it.

[Cryptonic]

Someday someone like me will make you eat those words.

wow real life threats, calm down

just because you don't agree with someone, doesn't mean you are allowed to insult them.





If you guys can't debate/argue with actually points, then this should be closed. While Nick is being very subversive, you can't just ad hominem him because of it.

[Nick]

I can't recall the exact article I read. The article proposed moral dilemma/injury as the top factor of PTSD. I only remember that the article suggested psychological profiles that might provide resilience to PTSD caused by guilt. I apologize for my careless use of terms.

To show I'm not bullshitting, a related news article:

Study suggests feelings of guilt may be a top factor in PTSD

[Coast]

I agree with Cryptonic. I apologize, Bruno, but this thread has turned into a huge argument. Closing thread.

[Slaol]

Reopeneing. You can't warn mother fuckers and then close it without them first going against the warning.

[SuperJack]

Just use Robots. Shape em like a salt shaker maybe.

bruno why sign up for the Marines? you must have a good reason and probably a good plan to do so. really not worth the risk

Hows about CNN for a source?

Or the VA
https://www.va.gov/opa/pressrel/pressrelease.cfm?id=2427

Also I apologize if that came off as a real life threat. I never threaten people physically online or off and did not mean for it to come off that way. Like I said, its just a soar spot for me. I get what nick is saying that the system is fucked and I agree to some extent. Some things are just hard to stomach.

[Psyduck]

With all respect crypt, Nick pretty much gave a big FU to everyone who is in the military, or was, or has family/ friends there, when he said that stuff , including this: Nick : They are a renewable recource
you never said anything to him

[Brendan]

He said people are a renewable resource, which is true. He didn't specifically mention the military, or insult/threaten anyone.

Ah, yeah.... That will do it :P

[Mateo]

Theres a reason every day over 22 veterans put a gun in their mouth

yea, its because they realize they will forever be haunted by the people whos lives they took so that someone's stock prices will go up. same reason you're an opinionated alcoholic. i understand your desire to give meaning to the losses you've seen and experienced, but the truth is the last soldier that died for something noble died over 50 years ago.
