What is your personal view concerning the military?

My personal belief is that the notion of pride in joining the military is more than a little stale in these backward times. Any misconception that joining the military makes one more of a "man" or a better person only leads to the kind of pricks you get coming out of the TA thinking they're Chuck Norris. All the same, while I believe there is zero pride involved in putting one's life on the line for a corrupt government that see one as just a figure, I would never condemn anyone for doing so and still see a great deal of bravery in it. I'm aware that many people join the army as a personal challenge and/or to make a difference, and I see this as far worthy of respect than anyone with ambitions to be a robot.

What is your view on the military and/or joining the military? I had a brief conversation on the subject with my best friend yesterday who tried to make a point the army is only made up of "dumb fucks that couldn't get their A levels." While this is obviously a negative misconception, it's just as ridiculous as the previously mentioned elitist fantasy that joining the army is the equivalent of having a 40 inch penis.
