I learned that people often refuse to join military because they fear death unjustifiable killings in some cases

I think a lot of people shouldn't join the military, Most people are not strong enough physically, psychologically, or emotionally to go through with it. It takes real men and women to be in the military. Most people are not dedicated enough. Some people simply don't love their country and people enough to join. I don't think many Americans at all have what it takes to do what the men and women in our armed forces do, which is all the more reason to respect and appreciate them!

I'm currently serving in the Air Force as a Firefighter. I can't really see any reason for not joining(my opinion) But i know from others that i work with, they get out as soon as they get the chance. Their only complains were " lack of respect towards younger airman"
I would say if you could join as an officer, go for it. You get tons of respect and twice the pay as enlisted. But if you can't handle the pressure of being told what to do just because somebody has a college degree or has been a member longer than you have, don't
The benifits are great, free medical, dental, tax free, job knowledge, tuition assitance, life insurance. The military only banking through USAA has excellent offers for checking/savings acounts, loans, auto insurance and all other needs.
I'm enjoying it as of right now and I'm only a SrA (4th spot on the bottom of the totem pole). But then again i grew up in the military.

Everyone has their reasons. I did it because I got to see many different places and cultures. My parents were both military, both my grandfathers were, and they all enjoyed it to some extent.
The reason I did it was because of the fact that I was fascinated by aircraft carriers and naval aviation. The Air Force landing planes on runways didn't get me going like watching a 30 million dollar aircraft slamming down on a 300 foot landing area with just a hook and a cable to catch them.
I enlisted and worked on the flight decks of two ships. I launched aircraft day and night, in all kinds of weather. That was the best thing I have ever done. The benefits were great too. Medical, dental, and a paycheck bi-weekly. Six to eight months out at sea a year, but it was all for a good cause..... for everyone to still be able to keep their opinions and be able to publicly voice them. If I hadn't decided it was time to get out, I would've stayed and made a career out of it. So, it just depends on the person and what they think.

you shouldnt join the military if you are a married person and want to settle down. i am madly in love with my husband and we have a 3 year old who is showing signs of already disliking every move we have gone through so far. I am tired of missing my husband and want to settle down with him and he does too but for now we are stuck. HOWEVER...before one jumps the gun from reading this I married my husband while I was in the service too. (I outranked him at the time!! hehe) and with that said had I not met him I would still be serving my country. the two of us were unseperable and still are except when the army needs him. so. the military is awesome for single people but try not to get married while you are in...it is so hard on the family. i have an interesting perspective and know that the military spouse has to be super woman to maintain a home and family and relationship all while they are supposed to be put on the back burner. join single, stay single and live it up as much as you can if you are planning on joining and keep away from falling inlove is my best advice.

The people who get the least out of it and of whom the military gets the least of out are folks who join almost exclusively for:
the steady paycheck
the medical benefits
the housing benefits
especially those very young people with one or more children

You shouldn't join to grow up. I served and was immature when I joined and got my butt kicked on a regular basis. You should take some time after high school and decide if it's something you are totally willing to commit to.

And if they don't beleive they can support and defend the US, they should not join, Most do because it can be a great carrer, great opportunies to learn job skills, get money for education and so much more. And many jobs have a high risk of injury

If you have doubts about anything, then don't join. It's not like you're being forced to. It's your choice. And you're not joining to have a good time anyway. It's a very serious decision.
