It's not that I think you haven't thought about it, so much as I feel like the conclusion that the best idea is to put your life in danger is the wrong one.
Which is why it's not your descision.
I don't like being told what to do. And as I am not a very faithful person I don't think there's a thing I would die for.
Then do as you will, but I'll feel sorry for your children.
It doesn't matter how long you think about it, it's still something you have a high chance of deeply regretting.
Nope. What's to regret?
It'll be the first time in my life I'll be happy.
So wait, you think the solution to all evil and war in the world is just to wipe everyone out.
So you sign up for the army, which is an organization that takes advantage of the evil of war to wipe everyone out, including yourself.
Am I understanding this correctly?
Bluntly put, yes.
Having known and been delivered from the destruction and terrible side of war, I'd rather have nothing to do with it. I'd never sign up for the army.
That's your descision, which I support.
I dunno. If you become something tech-involved, you get to be paid and part of the Air Force without the dying from being shot in the air part
I don't trust that.

The military?
It's not just the military.
It's business, schools, even down to civilians.
Yes, that's right. Even civilians are tools of the government. No matter how hard you try, how you try to escape, the system has you. The only time you're not a tool is before you'er 18. Once that happens all that's left is deciding the kind of tool you are.
which i question anyone joining, unless they really
think that, that's the life for them. Ragione is right,
most guys that come back from the Army, are literally
fucked up, and i mean FUCKED UP!!! like you can just see
it in their eyes, or the constant dodge in shell shock.
1. Seems a sight more better than sitting here doing nothing.
2. You watch too much tv. Not all army vets are like that. In fact, that deals mostly with the Vietnam survivors.
3. My dad is nothing like the vets you see on tv.
You most likely will regret it as Ragione pointed out
Ragione is wrong. I've only seen people who regret not going back [for those who didn't re-enlist]
My grandfather said that he wouldn't trade a day of it for the world.
Who am I going to believe?
My father and grandfather, or the biased opinion of someone who hasn't been in the army?
Find a good paying job, and travel the world or some shit.
that could be interesting in my opinion
I'll be doing that with the army.

Hell, chances are, I won't even go to Iraq. That's nowhere near my job. What's a Graphic Designer going to do in a batlefield? Draw terrorists to death?
Worst case scenario, I die.
I'm MORE likely to die here than in Iraq.
I die, then it's all over. My mom buries me and it's as if nothing changed for me.
Whether I live or die. I won't say I don't care, because I do, but if it's my time, then it's my time.
period.
