I assume the OP is from the UK or Australia I agree with the OP..people get into the military for two reasons 1) the recruiter fools them into signing up 2) they need a job, an education and a place they can belong too to be fair to them most of them end up very unsuccessful in life (3/4 homeless are veterans) and usually end up blowing the money the government pays them on something stupid like a bass boat or a fast car. They also have many health problems and of course they can get killed. People join the military out of stupidity and desperation, getting called Heroes by the local simpletons back home is at least so consolation for their wasted life. |

Killing a bunch of primitives with overpowering technological and tactical advantages doesn't make you a hero either. Landing on D-Day...now that's heroic. |

He was helping his neighbors remove debris in New Jersey and still dealing with power outages. "I want to join the Marines and be a HERO" he said. Young man, what you are doing NOW, here at home, HELPING YOUR NEIGHBORS is HEROIC! Joining the Marine Corp. DOES NOT make you a hero. I am so sick of this HERO WORSHIP being thrown around in this country of idiots! |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 3316260 United States 11/19/2012 11:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How many of us go to work knowing that at any second we could die? That is heroic. How many of us go to work art a job where we know we could be called upon to give our lives to save others? That is heroic. How many of us go to work knowing that we may have to take the lives of men who would mutilate and kill us in some of the worst ways imaginable if they were given the chance? That is heroic. The anonymous coward that started this thread doesn't have the balls to face reality. Those that serve in our Military face death in ways he cannot even fathom daily, willingly cheerfully and heroically. |
