I I've been wondering the same thing. People keep telling me that my son should apply to the military academies because they offer a free education. I don't want him to put his life at risk fighting whatever war the government chooses.

i have regularly idea it should be outstanding to have the danger to develop right into a pilot in the USAF/USN B-1s, B-2s, F-22s, A-10s, F-18s and so on. ..what an danger! yet USMC over the Corps of Her Majesty's Royal Marines, no longer a danger! US military over British military? No way! and that i ought to a lot truly be a pilot in the Royal Air stress than the U. S. Air stress. we've a richer historic previous and bigger traditions, they basically have more effective toys! yet it really is of direction a biased opinion because it really is the country I grew up in and that i'm affiliated with HM militia. Being British, i do not imagine i ought to be able to get excitement from the U. S. military for what that is because i have not grown up round American subculture. yet to respond to your question, i does no longer say that is undesirable. If that is what you want to do that is what you want to do.

I tried to get back in again, too old too busted up.
You don't join because you like the person in the White House. You join for your Mom & Dad, your neighbor, and the guy acorss the country you don't even know. And because you couldn't stand the thoought of someone pullling your share of the load in life. If you won't join the military, join the Peace Corps, Habitat for Humanity, etc. Do something for someone other than yourself.
As far as paying your taxes, citizenship just starts there.

Care? About what? You just called your fellow citizens who are serving this fine country stupid. Gee, isn't THAT a tolerant comment?
Until you walk a mile in their shoes, you do not have the right to call anyone stupid.
And if they all followed your implied advice and bailed on the military, it would be less than two years before the national religion would be Islam, and you'd be learning Arabic in Qur'an class.

If I was younger I would be proud to put MY life on the line for my country once again. This might be a total surprise to you but your freedom is not free it was paid for by the blood of past veterans that did that very thing. If we all were cowards like you we would not have the freedom that is now available to you. Just stop and think about ALL of the freedom of choices that you now have because someone stood up and paid the price for you

Well if congress passes the bill for a draft. Both young men and women won't need to sign up volunteeraily. They will be drafted. And the young women too. And even if you are in college. They will draft you,....
And nobody is stupid for joining the service. We can't judge those who join willingly under this adminstration even if you think it is wrong.....Look at this way.
For those who go now, then you may not need to go......

Bush has actually done a lot for our troops. Rapidly fielding new equipment to possibly save lives. Much better than going to Somalia, Macedonia, Bosnia under Clinton.
I'm actually trying to go back in. I'd lose money, but some things are more important.

I hope one day citizenship will require mandatory service in the military - because I tire of hearing people like you basking in the freedoms that military men and women have earned for you... while you use those freedoms to degrade them.
This president was elected by the people - and his policies were approved by Congress. If you can't live by the tenets of our Constitution - get the **** out.

I served under the first Bush. I decided to leave the military during the Clinton administration because I was told to remove the American flag from my uniform.
I would rather serve under a leader who wants to win and gives me the tools to do so. I could not serve with a cut and run type. With lives lost, we owe it to them to give them victory or their loss means nothing

I suppose you would join under another administration that sent troops into a combat situation and then refused to send in the armor for support. As a result of this malfeasance U. S. Soldiers died unnecessarily. Think not? Somalia, Mogadishu annnnnnd... Bill Clinton.
