SHOULD I GET BACK IN THE ARMY?
I have spent a year out of the military, after three years and a deployment to Afghanistan.

I was going to go to college and become an officer, but I have come to the conclusion I would rather serve as an enlisted member and progress through the ranks as a Sergeant.


I one day want to be special forces, airborne, air assault, and anything else I can participate in that would further my skills as a soldier...

I am a 23 year old White American, and I dont know who to believe in the middle east, and I am not religious.

With all this ww3 talk, I wonder....would it be in my best interest to serve and fight for our country, or should I hold out for a bug out?

Should I wait it out til Dec 21st?

Maybe you are in the wrong forum. NO offense, just this forum is more about opening the eyes of people to a new way of existing in this world.



Also, soldiers aren't a solid career anymore. Drones will be taking over the job and you know this is true.

Afterall you require rest, food, and pay.

Drones do all for free 24 hours a day with very little rest, fuel and pay.


On another note, thank you for serving.

A strong military doesn't bother me, a corrupt one does.

It's not the military that i hate it's the politicians.

Endless wars around the globe, cmon' man REALLY?

Who are we kidding.

WMD never found, Al Queda working for us in Lybia.

WTF Wake Up man. Again No offense you will probably call me a pussy or tell me love it or leave it.

But you don't know me and what I have seen, I promise you from my heart from one to another, I think you have been deceived.

No, you mean mindless drones that do the bidding of murderers for profit. Natural fucktards that should die horrible deaths. You don't even know what the constitution means, cause if you did, you wouldn't be thinking of rejoining the murderers. AGAIN.

Fucking die man. Or wise up. Like there isn't enough info around the web to educate yourself on exactly WHO you work for in the fucked up military. Yeah, go protect some more poppy fields and kill some more children.

Right here OP. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Cmon' don't you see?

Can't you hear?

Not belittling your service, again Thank YOU.

Just really got think to yourself what is it you want?

Blood money may end up costing you in the end.

What is it worth to be a soldier for a failing country. Our politicians have shipped everything over seas, taxed us to death and put a camera on every corner to nickel and dime us one more time. We need our soldiers home to protect us again from this madness.

What do you think about the poppy fields in afghan'?

Ever consider the issues and morality behind drone attacks?

Are you 100% certain you have NOT been deceived, do you care to ask?

See this is just it.

As a Soldier you should be beyond reproach, yet you lash out at those (some deserve it) who you claim to protect.

Many real and honest points have been made, why not address those and ignore the ones that are childish and aggressive?

Because?

The Military IMHO opinion has trained the soldiers to be ignorant of the facts.

Step out into the Civilian world and see my friend.

Thank you for your service, and WAKE UP.

The military is for social rejects.

Everybody here thinks in a martial law situation the military would never turn on US citizens.

Wrong! How fucking wrong you are if you believe that.

Marines aren't trained to protect oaths or constitutions. They are trained to follow the orders of commanding officers, to kill at all costs, and to win....

I think this is the most important point...

If he truly wants to be a warrior, why not be a useful warrior? Instead of going to foreign nations to kill people the thugs in charge tell him to, why not help deposing the thugs, freeing the nation he swore to serve and protect, from enemies foreign and domestic?

The answer of course, is that he's not a true warrior. He's just a scared little bully who wants to kill people without getting in trouble for it.

Making a stand for liberty at home is REAL hero's work.

I'm just about to pass my 12-year mark in the Navy. I had similar ideas, but I think I'm gonna make Chief before applying for Limited Duty Officer. I don't see the economy getting much better any time soon, no matter who wins this next election. What was your reason for getting out?

Re: SHOULD I GET BACK IN THE ARMY?
I'd get back in if I wasn't doing other things and had other responsibilities back in the world.

If you have been to A-NOC and B-NOC go back in and move up until you make TOP ...pay will be more than a butter bar or 1st LT.

More respect too. I've seen a 1st Sgt put a Captain against the wall and chew some ass out.....nothing ever happened.


The higher you rank the less risk you have but the more responsibility you have. If you go back in you better make sure you are unfucked and got your shit wired tight because you will be reponsible for the life's of your men.


I'd say get in now before the 21st so at least you are in the know. Let us know in return.....

Carry on..
