Who Served In The Military?

i can't join the service because of my history. but i'd do it if i could.

i appreciate the fact that our young men and women are willing to put their lifes on the line to fight war. however, i don't support war, in any case; unless, of course, we have a direct threat looming over us. Iraq, I feel, was not a direct threat. Sadaam Hussein is a schizoid mongolid idiot fucking madman who ought to be lynched in public by angry Kurds, but it makes me very upset knowing that our young boys and girls are dying for this shit. I support each and every soldier's efforts and courage, however I don't support most of the wars my country America has engaged in.

Thanks for my freedom, soldiers. But your leaders are fucking idiots, basically.

i've subbmitted all my papers and whatnot and now im just waiting for the military to tell me when all my tests are. My school has a military co-op where you are sworn into the reserves and are officially part of the military. Then you go and do your infantry courses just like any other soldier would, but i get 4 school credits and get paid $300 canadian a week. Then in the summer i have the option to finish my infantry training(which i plan on doing), then i have all my training, and when im 18 i can apply to serve overseas if i want to. (im 16 now)

The Cruise ships to the same thing with thier sewage. In fact, they're trying to make it so they don't have to be so far out to see before they dump. Needless to say that us fisherman around port canaveral aren't too happy with it. I doub't they'll succeed anyway.

Anyway off topic again....Never served the military, but I have nothing but respect for those who did (do). Whether you did it for your country or your family (gotta keep them fed), you've got guts and you deserve a pat on the back (and a nice fat blunt) :thumbsup:

I kindof get your point. I used to lisetn to Rush Limbaugh and he was allways saying that it was impossible to support our troops, but not the president. I would try to call in to explain thats just not true, but I would never get through the lines. I also agree that the war wasn't needed (at least not yet), but once it got started, I dropped the political muck and focused support on the troops doing the job. I didn't want them to have to do it, but once they got started on the job, I'm behind them 100%.

just wondering how many of you took your families over seas with you? my dad was in the navy 23 years so i spent most of my childhood on bases over seas.

well, no one ever fought in the military for my freedom!
