I'm not so sure that it is. I have really mixed feelings about the American military and what they are doing with the power that they have.
The Canadian military (I can hardly wait to hear the jokes...) are not killers. From my experience anyways... They are doing some really wonderful things all over the world. Helping people and stuff.

True, kind of. i was a Combat engineer, explosives. That was fun, but i never did get over the shit they gave me threw boot camp. if they wouldnt have been so evil, it might have left a better impression on me. They didnt just train you and work you hard, that part was easy. The hard part was how they did it, and what they put you threw, it wasn't just pushing you to do things, it was breaking you and making everything you were go away. i liked myself and my lifestyle when i went in, maybey that was the problem. The first week i was there i knew i didnt belong there, but the fastest way outta boot camp was to get threw it. once they had you there, they wouldnt let you leave till you were wearing a uniform. Im just trippin on the negative parts tho. To tell you the truth, im glad that i made it threw it and became a marine. I did alot of things and had a lot of experiences i would never have had any other way. Id do it again, just because. does that make me crazy? lol

Yeah I agree I was thinking, "this sucks and I want to get out" but now I'm like, "some of that stuff was pretty cool."

I realize that the world is full of really ugly things, but there is a part of that beleives the military can do really great things for the world.
Can you imagine if all those leaders stopped struggling for power and put all their resources towards something like peace? We live in a really great time right now, there so much room for change.

It would be awesome but one group of people always feels like something belongs to them or they just want to take it.

lordofchaos, you didn't do live fire breaches? You didn't do road craters, door charges, or tree cutting charges? I guess they just treated you like a grunt.

sad but true story: The world will never be at peace, it is not in our nature.(maybey a few of us, but someones always ganna be doing something inhumaine and stupid, that reqires their death. And someone has to always be ready to deal some sort of justice out. I mean look, why did we come over and founded america, we wanted to be free and get away from procecution from the government, to be free to do what we wanted, we had to kill some indians to do it.(hipicritical i know.) But america just turned into what it was tring to run from. and were better at it that the ones we ran from in the first place. am i wrong? if i am i plead that im sleepy and on medication.

lol I'm working on it. I was and am still young and loved the excitement but peace and serenity is what I go for now. Besides that was the destruction of ammuntion that could be used in a harmful way like road side bombs.

gotcha man.
I just thought it was odd that someone with Buddha is his/her name was all excited about blowing shit up while in the American armed forces.
I am also trying to find peace perhaps I should be less judgemental and argumentative. good luck to you on your path

Well yes LordOfChaos America did run away and it WAS paradise for a while. America is still controlled and owned by Europe however. America is like the power in the public eye whilst really the hierachy goes higher into Europe, standard tactic really... the guy publicly in power is never the real person pulling the strings for safety reasons.
Actually the people in power don't give a flying fuck about the American people, or any people for that matter... we are all just pawns used in a game for total power and control.

We think alike, about us being pawns by our gov. But i highly doubt Europe has any influences in our government. Strings are pullin, and the pres is just a moron puppet, but a puppet of congress and the corperate america. America is a creature of its own, it has been for a looooong time.
