I’m not going to the marine corps when I’m 18.

I’m done.

It’s so stupid and weak

All they ask in return is that you be their war slave

The US military exercises far more control over its employees than most employers, and the pay isn't even all that competitive.

The worst pat is you probably won't even be defending America. We invaded Iraq to make the Middle East safe for Israel and Gulf Arab petromonarchs.

Yeah I served 8 years in the DS wars and couldn't agree more. The billion dollar circus.

I respect the importance of possessing a martial spirit and I see the allure of getting to wear a silly hat and blow stuff up

It's too bad we have all these great soldiers and awesome tech and we don't use them to help our own people

The work hours are brutal too. When I was in we averaged about 13+ hours a day in garrison. Up by 4:30 to get prepped and then get to work (you had to show up early, being less than 30 minutes early meant you were late), usually not let off work until 6. During autumn and the winter we would regularly wake up and go to work when it was dark and then wouldn't get off until it was dark. And again this was while in garrison, not even speaking of deployments when you're literally on duty 24/7/365

Anybody with even slightly conservative leanings would be full-on fucking retarded to join the military anytime in the next 4 years.....

They tried to bribe me with pictures of underaged girls (in an Army recruiter's office.)

The recruiter's office hounded my parents and threatened me with arrest if I wouldn't come to their office. When I got there, they immediately ordered me to fill out enlistment paperwork. I refused, and they then said I would be "free to go" if I would sign some sort of "deferred enlistment" scam that would require me to report for boot camp after 6 months to settle my affairs. In the process, the recruiter took a batch of Polaroid pictures of obviously-underaged girls working an overseas strip club lap-dancing drunken soldiers, telling me those girls were 14. When I questioned the legality of their possession and "promotional use" of child-porn, he became very triggered and called in an assistant. At some point, I caught him not guarding the door and made a run for it. I wish I had video of that, those two fat-asses chasing me out of the building pounding on my car-window on a city street, looking that the evil dickheads they are.

I'm not saying (it), you're lying.... but I will say that what you said (also) sounds like complete bullshit..... I've had a ton of friends that were in the military and several of them were even recruiters and not a damn thing you said sounds like anything I've ever heard before.... Edit - took a poop break and then came back to this bizarre comment..... So fuck it, I'll say it - you are full of shit and I feel 100% confident in that assessment. You do have one wild fucking imagination though, I'll give you that.... Shits gonna get you in trouble one day though, bro.... Seriously.
