I am 35 with a wife and 2 young kids and really thinking hard of joining the guard in Florida. I'm not quite sure why but I woke up early yesterday with this on my mind and started looking up info. I don't want to do it but I have a feeling that I must do it. I know it's gonna be hard preparing for the asvab along with training for bmt while working a full-time. I just read that deployment overseas is possible, and with the new presidency, war is almost inevitable. I don't have a material reason to make this decision just a bunch of cliché sounding answer so I've avoided trying to explain to my wife my reasoning. She says she supports me but needs to understand and I have no idea what to say to her that doesn't seem like some goofy/whacky shit. Deep down I feel like this is something I need to self-improve. I want to acquire discipline, humility, and a number of other things I feel I lack or could improve but feel ashamed of even mentioning that to anyone because it feels like I'd be admitting that I haven't conducted my life properly and I'm trying to slap a bandaid on it. Can anyone help me out? Talk me out of it, or convince me to proceed but I need advice. I dont want to disappoint my family but I want to be a better man and I think the military can help me with that.
Luke 18:1-8 NKJV — Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man. “Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’ “And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man, ‘yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’ ” Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. “And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? “I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”

As a first generation Cuban-American, I am fully aware of how evil and deceitful communists are. My grandfather, who owned a small dump truck with a trailer and tractor, was kidnapped one day along with some of his brothers. No one knew where they were taken or if they would even come back. They spent 6 months in a forced labor camp, given scraps of rotting food, and not allowed to shave or bathe to give them the same appearance as the dirty bearded communists that came down from the mountains terrorizing and robbing the rest of the nation before reaching their small town on the western side of the island. They were eventually released, alive but without the means to make a living because they kept his truck and equipment. He knew he had to flee at that moment, for the sake of his children and future generations. Like the Jews tradition to recite what God saved them from in Egypt, I've been repeatedly reminded of what communist did to our people as they drove them out of their homes and how America gave us a place to flee to when we were persecuted. I have deep seated feelings towards communism and I have always said that "the best place for a communist is buried six feet underground face down in case he resurrects they can dig towards China". But this is not God's plan for any of us. My fellow Americans, Patriots, lovers of freedom I plead with you. Hate the idea, denounce communism but love the communist Let's seek peace. Let's love our enemy. We do nothing by loving each other but hating our enemies. The remnant of God must stand up now and pray for peace, not just in our nation but around the world before we spiral out of control. Once we start shedding American blood on American soil it will be too late to turn back. Totalitarianism is right around the corner if we don't stop this and pray for peace
REPENT FOR THE JUDGEMENT DAY OF GOD IS NEAR! HE WHO HAS EARS TO HEAR LET HIM HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD THIS MORNING THAT HE MAY HUMBLE HIMSELF BEFORE THE GOD OF OUR FOREFATHERS. THAT OUR LAND WOULD BE HEALED AND A HEDGE OF PROTECTION MAY BE RAISED AROUND IT THAT WE MAY LIVE IN PEACE WITH OUR GOD AND AMONGST OURSELVES
Why was foreign interference not frontline and center until there was an outsider running for president that could actually win?
