| Anonymous Coward User ID: 27971898 United States11/19/2012 11:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Being a soldier is a JOB. Nothing more. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25009119 Joining the military to "become a hero" is pathetic. America is a country of pussy, reality TV dumbtards. Again, no it's not! Their whole purpose in being in the military is death. From the marine to the technician. That is why they are needed. To kill for someone else. Wake up. |

Everyone of the men i met in the army had character, self respect. A willingness to try step into the abyss with a "devil may care" attitude. Oh yeah, and serving in the combat arms of the military is some manly shit; definetly more masculine than being an I.T. Jockey or some schmuck at CVS. I dont hear guys spinning yarns at the bar about doing your job. And to the POG Slick Sleeve..you're a POG Slick Sleeve. |
| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 25009119 11/19/2012 11:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | PS - I served 3 years in the U.S. Army. I did not meet a single "hero" in my 3 years. Not one. It's all bullshit. If aren't an ass-kisser, you'll get nowhere in the military. The American military is mostly made up of lower class individuals who see the military as a good job and nothing more. |

Your son is also NOT going to do a damn thing to "protect our freedom" here at home. That's nothing more than a tag line. A sales pitch. Congrats, your son got a JOB. At least that's "something" to be proud of. I do wish him good luck. As I do all soldiers now currently. Good luck with your JOB. |

His boot wasn't pounding sand in the middle east somewhere. His service actually MEANT SOMETHING MORE than just having a job. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 3163490 United States11/19/2012 12:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I agree with the OP. Soldiers, for the most part, are just a bunch of dumb shits that had no other options, or at least the military was the least repulsive option. I know a lot of soldiers, and none of them have ever done a "heroic" thing in their lives. They put on a weapon if they have to because it's their FUCKING JOB, not out of some bullshit sense of duty and heroism. They'll get court marshaled if they don't. And don't even get me started on Navy guys. |
