The only way I would join the military is if I became a bum..
at least the military will have a home for me and pay me..

Heyyo,

I agree with splo, I'd probably do the same.

Now heed the warning of FPS_Doug from http://www.purepwnage.com/ on his views of the military

of course the graphics would be a lot better, but there's no respawn! if you lag you die forever!

So Hangfire, pray, pray to dear god you don't get teh_lagged.

That's exactly the folks now in irak.
While the trained and ranked soldiers are now at home.
It's the bums they keep there to take the hits. Cos they have no voice or the courage to stand to there officiers. So if ya join for that reason it's the worse reason ever. Non motivated soldiers are also a pest to the platoon most likely there ignorance/negligence get others killed.

Ok, I'm predicting a flame war in this thread...

U're completly right PMB. I dunno if you've seen Fahrenheit 9/11, but only one U.S. Senator had his son enlisted in the army... Oh well. 9_9

Same Here.

Personally i can't join the military, i talked to a army recruiter once and told him my medical history. He said they probably wouldn't take me because of my past problem with Epilepsy, and my cataracts are terrible.

Correct me if i'm wrong here, but i'm getting the oddest sense of Deja Vu, wasn't there a topic exactly like this awhile back on this board? ???

I don't remember a similar discussion on BU... but maybe I'm wrong ?

Anyway, I couldn't apply either, even if I wanted to. They would refuse me because you need to be virgin of all infractions regarding the law (and my car accident which involved 3 other persons was my responsibility) and also probably because I must currently have just about as much metal in the skeleton as the Terminator. And the tests they conduce are not that easy either. A friend of mine wanted to enter the para commandos, he had to apply three times despite an excellent physical condition before they would let him in.

All of those I know however agree on one thing: there, the lesser you think, the better you get along with it. If you don't dislike philosophy, the army is not a place for you.

Well this is not gunna be a flame war if it up to me.
Just expressd my feelings. didn't mean to sound agressive.
It just that it not wrong to join the service.

It was probably me. I always wanted to be a pirate, but the RAF will not take me because of my severe hayfever. (Eyes can be fixed). I quite enjoy physical activities these days, even if they hurt. What I dislike is sports.


I agree I'd not want to serve in, or with the US military, they still practice the wonderful habit of t/k'ing on a regular basis, the fools.

Could have been, the hayfever thing sounds familiar. The RAF would laugh at me if i went in there, all i see is blurry blobs at medium to long distances, i'd be shooting down hot air balloons and such

[HangFire]

Yup, all airforces require perfect vision. When I decided to join my parents wanted me to join the RCAF, since they're both pilots, but I can't because my eyesight is fairly bad and I have partial colour blindness.
