I'm just sayin, I've met a lot of young guys (some family included) that have these gigantic fucking egos and hubris, short on manners, high on pride when they get out of the fucking military like they are just king shit badass mofos. I'm fucking sick of military douchenozzles.
My roommates brother is staying with us (hopefully not for long, fucking sick of my roommate bringing people over to bum on the couch). First day I meet him he levels a shotgun at me (unloaded) and pissed me the fuck off. I wanted to kick the shit out of this little prick and still do. He calls everything and everyone a fagget and a pussy and all this shit and is just generally an annoying little shit. First night he moved in he was noisy as fuck in the AM while I'm trying to sleep for work early. FUCK I'm sick of these little shitbags acting like they are some navy seal licensed to kill dickweeds.

I got news for you... most of those you're talking about were like that before they enlisted, most military personnel arent like that

fucking A dude. That's why I told my brother not to join - that and the increasing suicide rate and certainty of PTSD.
fucking SICK of being around jarhead douchenozzles. It sucks because a giant one is out in my living room right now so I basically feel trapped in my room blasting my TV to drown out his constantly flapping trap.

that may well be true but holy shit nearly all of them I've met in the military think they are the foremost expert on ALL things military and it just gets fucking old. Like, you know what - I'm not in the military, so I don't give a fuck if you think something is unrealistic in Battlefield 4 or COD or how the military is represented in a movie.
they just get massively inflated heads and it gets fucking old as shit.

Nail on head. I don't think the military turns people into those type of people, but a lot of dbag type guys are drawn to the military. That's not ALL of them though; can't generalize like that. I mean, it is a peculiar job though

dude, my roommate is just this kind of guy. we're friends now...but for a while, we unspokenly just fucking hated eachothers guts. for whatever reason.
but he LIKES to fight, he wants to instigate fights and gets shitfaced drinking/driving and just generally being an asshole to various people he makes snap judgments about. Is an open racist. Fuck. I fucking hate that these guys just don't give a shit about drinking/driving and go on beer runs totally plastered. Kind of wish they'd get busted as they risk other peoples lives for beer like gigantic selfish douches.

The majority of em are like that, sadly. It's gotta be some kind of brain washing cult. A lot of guys do change when they ship out. I've only met a few cool ones that had a deep side to them and even then when drunk or tweaked they turned back into jarheads.

I was in the Army for 6 years as a medic and can tell you from experience that people don't change while they are in. The douches were that way before they enlisted, military DOES NOT change a persons personality.

Furthermore I have diagnosed PTSD from Iraq and Afganistan and even then my personality didn't change. I may be a little jumpy due to loud noises and can't sleep for shit but aside from that I'm good. Shrooms help out big time

Brainwashing is the first thing they do. As I understand it they break down the kid and then "rebuild them" the way the military wants them. It works better on 18 year olds than 25 year olds that have a little more life experience. But its clearly brainwashing by the definition, cultlike identical haircuts and all.

you have to have dropped out of school to join the military
those are the only people dumb enough to join
Smart people know exactly what they are doing when they get out of high school
military people are either poor, don't like living at home or want to go somewhere to fuck shit up
the navy stopped accepting drop outs recently
people in the military are just used to seeing people with no morals join for the perks
faggot to them probably means loser, I've been called a faggot before it's a yuppie thing
but yeah I would snap one day and he would figure it out or annoy me more until we got into a scuffle but it would happen
my friend started a fight with a guy because he didn't shake his hand. he told him he was going to the military and he wanted to shake the guys hand and the people that didn't he would go "fuck you" to
you litterally have to have a big head and love doing stupid shit to join, if you don't then you're just torturing yourself hanging with meatheads that could very well end your life not paying attention to what the fuck they're doing
more people die in helicopter crashes or get fucked up by loose artillery then terrorist, probably raped more too
ten years ago it was probably fun, killing people but now it's just a bunch of evangilist running around with d-bags exercising apathy and that one guy who has ptsd from not getting any kills

No, I was not in the military. What do they teach you besides the obvious military task related skills (how to parachute and land safely in they are air assult for example)? Following orders unquestioningly. Doing what you're told. Conforming to dress and uniform standards. The military does have the following characteristic to a greater or lesser degree, doesn't it?
Brainwashing: a forcible indoctrination to induce someone to give up basic political, social, or religious beliefs and attitudes and to accept contrasting regimented ideas

Yeah, I don't like being cursed to and I don't like loud explosions going off in my ear
so I'm never joining that kind of position.

one time a marine came into my class in high school and talked to us about training
his exact words were 'they break you down and then build you back up'

My roommates brother is staying with us (hopefully not for long, fucking sick of my roommate bringing people over to bum on the couch). First day I meet him he levels a shotgun at me (unloaded) and pissed me the fuck off. I wanted to kick the shit out of this little prick and still do. He calls everything and everyone a fagget and a pussy and all this shit and is just generally an annoying little shit. First night he moved in he was noisy as fuck in the AM while I'm trying to sleep for work early. FUCK I'm sick of these little shitbags acting like they are some navy seal licensed to kill dickweeds.

Being a part of the military is a job that attracts a lot of assholes, I mean what would you expect of a job that to most people is best described as shoot people you don't know. Its the same reason a bunch of cops are also assholes.

And the cycle continues.
How eloquent.
Pretty much surmises my sentiments.
Typically, people who go into positions that may require them to hurt or kill other humans have a certain kind of mentality. And the mentality mentioned in the post above happens to be a reoccurring theme for this occupation in today's society.

Probably because most of these guys are age 18-22 which is when douchebaggery emits itself in the personality the strongest and the most flamboyantly

Maybe there is a trend related to age and hormones, but as the saying goes "drunken words are sober thoughts", hormones being the alcohol here.
There's an exception to every rule; whether it be a mild mannered 20something year old, or a douchebag 50year old.
I think a bigger factor is the socially conditioned psyche of the given person.

That's retrogressive logic if I've ever heard it. None of us have to do anything; but when we lose respect for each other we end up in a mess of theft, rape, and murder.

Well I've had four people I know really well join the military, every single person has said this about the Canadian military.
-People in charge are idiots -Wide spread racism -They defiantly try to brainwash people
They met very few people who actually were decent people and said majority of people they met were not so bright.
All four of them got out eventually, one of them left when he was a master corporal even though he was offered to Jump up a rank whatever's after MC He did a tour as well
Canadians are referred to being nice people and all that shit I can only speculate on what the American army is like, although I have no personal experience with either military other than meeting a few guys here and there.

maybe all military ppl aren't douchebags. Maybe you just happened to have met a few who stuck out because they were rude. I bet theres a lot of ppl you have been around who are ex-vets who maybe are good ppl.
Having said that, I am sure there's lots of dickhead military ppl as well. I just think maybe you got the shit end of the stick only meeting douchey ones.

This^^^. The only military guy I have personally known was a marine on my college wrestling team. He was the most hard-working son of a bitch I know, and a good friend of mine. Not mean, doesn't have any ego problems at all. In fact, he was very humble. Part of this was probably the fact that he was gigantic and ripped with tons of tattoos and knows he could fuck anyone up haha.
But I have ran into some military guys that are what you described. Basically, I think these are the wannabe tough guys that joined just to feel like a badass, and now they have some kind of badass experience so their ego is bigger than it already was. Anyways, can't generalize, I've met some good ones, and some bad ones.
