I dont know why the hell so many people thrash the armed forces. Truth is, many make a carreer of it in their lifes, get a good rank and good pay if they show they have leadership skills and are not slacking off... Everybody else saying, 'military sucks' are just a bunch of pussies knowing in the back of their heads they wouldnt even survive a day of basic training.




Sure it's possible to have a decent life in the military. Fixing
electronics in the airforce is little different from civilian
life.

I'm simply saying that witnessing death, destruction, human
degradation, dismemberment and being long term in situations
where your own survival or physical integrity are at threat,
costs you a great deal. If you can avoid this in military
service- great. If not, then you will pay a price of some kind.

I've known men who walked a border for months. No-one died, nothing
went bang. But it easily could have and the facts are that dumping
adrenalin for that long, being sleepless that long, creates
hypervigilant, angry individuals who don't adjust well back in
real life. They're not flash back victims- just different in a
bad way.

The trouble is that the average 18 year does not have the maturity
or life experience to know the price they may be asked to pay.

But yeah i'd change tyres on a bomber as long as i don't have
to hose out the body parts of one of the crew. Life is- after all-
meant to be enjoyed.

I am very biased against the war (ongoing wars) so i thought i would say that first so you can take that with my views on the military. Killing is wrong, however it can be justafied in certain situations. If there is a situation in which killing is wrong it is immoral (if you beleive that atleast). You are at the very least helping a company, a network kill for unjustafied causes (not involving protecting the country or populous). If Iraqi's were pouring over the border from canada i would say yea join to help the country however if you join while wide spread murder is taking place you are helping kill. That been said you also have to look at what is best for you. If you think you can join and not have that weigh at all on your concious(SP) and you also think this is the best route for you then i think you have your answer. Thought i feel strongly about the war i acknowledge not everything is black and white and even though i feel this way it doesnt make it true.
