i guess i led with my aces....all these sailor jokes, and i got nothing.


i will say this though, all joking aside. when i was in iraq, i got a coin from a one star general, he told me: we couldn't have done it without you [meaning Seabees] .

anyways...lets see here, what other marine/army jokes do i have...hmm.......like i said. i got nothing. shit. well i guess i can talk a little smack on the Army.

Hey Spoken Word,

I can only speak of my experience in the military, i am due to retire in about 3 months, and i can honestly say i had a blast for the last 20 years, Doing time in the millitary is all on how you make it. it seems that this topic got a little of path of wheather you should sign the dotted line. I say ya go for it you wont regret the decision. Join the Jarienes if you wana be bullet catcher. Join the navy (Fleet side) if you wana hot rack with other dudes, Join the army if your just a dumb ass and cant pass the ASVAB. and you need civilians to do your job. and i like another in this forum am a OF13. (Seabee).

I'd really, REALLY advise against it. They'll try to crush your soul and turn you into a machine, and then use you as a worthless piece of cannon fodder in whatever bullshit war they cook up next. Personally, I could never take orders from some pompous authoritarian in a uniform, but do as you like.

The whole "you can't know unless you've done it" argument doesn't really sit with me. It sounds to me like nothing more than a way to silence opposition...if one is informed to a great enough degree, they are entitled to a legitimate opinion that deserves more of a rebuttal than "if you don't know, don't say anything." I say the armed forces are soul-crushing because I cannot conceive how individuality can be maintained with a shaved head and a uniform, killing people their county's tycoons find troublesome.

If you really take anything the army does seriously and see it as anything more than a futile and vainglorious absurdity (involving proud kids who played with too many G.I. Joes), you need a serious lesson in detecting horseshit.

I closed this thread a few days ago because I didn't have enouh time to do what needed to be done to this thread (this happens a lot due to the server not being fast enough). It has gone off topic from pros and cons to joining the military to almost a pros and cons about the U.S. military. Now I have time and I have done my best to leave the posts that are on the topic of joining the military in this thread while moving the posts more about the topic about the U.S. military to a new thread. Shouldn't be hard to find the new thread it's here in politics. In fact the thread went so far off topic another mod moved it here to politics.

Please don't hijack threads and choose wisely as to which thread to posts new responses in. Thanks :thumbsup: .
