I'm speaking of the American Military, the only one I'm familiar with.

Well, it's just one of those things. It stands for "liberty" and "freedom" but I notice that they REALLY push the idea. At malls, on t.v, on websites etc. It's like they are preying on a certain type of 18 year old. Cause we all know they cream for 18 year olds. If it was my job, I'd want criminals to fight...not young kids with lives ahead of them. And when they die, they offer money. Like money can replace the memory of a lost son or daughter. All for the "greed" or even the "freedom" in another country.
WHAT THE FUCK? Doesn't the U.S.A have enough problems on it's own soil?

But at the same time, it protects us. I don't know. I'd love if there was no need for it.
