Do you think military men look good in uniform, but have little brains to back up their "beauty"?

Question

I've met so many military men in my life, but they don't seem to carry many morals with them. Their whole deal is bars, taking pictures in bars, taking pictures with drinks in hand, swiggin' down a beer, "Vegas baby"!, and they have an attitude like they are superior because they have served in the military? They are also committing many crimes and adultery. Their lifestyles tend to resemble just the average fornicating man; nothing special as it's cracked up to be: "Wow! I'm in the Honor Guard"...so what does that make you honorable? No.

They shouldn't be involved in this baseless Iraqi war, but I am seeing more and more that they join the military because they think it'll buy them a home, or give them some falsehood of status, but mostly I've seen them committing more and more crimes. They might look good, some of them in a uniform, but where are the morals?

Ok, we seem to have those below adding words to my comment and question that were never there. First, I don't hang out at bars, I don't commit fornication, I don't commit adultery for that matter, I don't serving in a worldly military is going to bring true peace to the world (it only brings more war and chaos), I have a masters and operate my own business. I love it. I am not owned by the GUBMINT and they don't tell me to go to war.

I do however, look forward to God's war that will put an end to all mankind's wars. Do you know what war that will be? Only one guess.

Don't put words on my comments that were not there to begin with.

CORRECTION: MANKIND'S MILITARYS AND GOVERNMENTS WILL NOT BRING PEACE TO THE WORLD. THEY ONLY BRING MORE VIOLENCE, CHAOS AND DEATH.

Answer 1

You're looking in the wrong places. If you're hanging out in bars to find a smart, nice military guy, you're looking in the wrong places! I know military guys who have doctorates and masters degrees, who are great, honorable family men, who are excellent musicians or artists or craftsmen.

I'd recommend you try somewhere else besides bars. Check online dating services, go to chapel on a Sunday, try the craft shop or the library, or hang out at a college near a military base. Officers or NCOs have much more maturity and responsibility than junior enlisted guys, and are more serious about staying clean to keep their careers intact.

I'm sorry you've had some bad experiences with military guys. As we do in the military, if your first attempts don't work, change tactics!

Answer 2

It seems like you are having some rough days or something. As far as bar, well, men will be men and women will be women. They have all the right in the world to act stupid if they feel like doing so. I am not condoning such behavior but they behave no different than college kids, the only difference is that they seen combat. As far as being smart, it is a lot easier to go to college than enlist in the Armed Forces. Yes, believe or not, I do not know how many people we turned down because they could not pass the ASVAB but they had like two or three years of college. I do not know what kind of Masters you got but it does show something about you, you might have the book knowledge but no common sense. I can not believe that you can make an accusation as such, based on a small percentage of the group. And by the way, morals are not taught at the Armed Forces, they are just reinforced. We got what you gave us, whether is good or not. We represent you; we were not there during dinner time with the family nor when the soldier was going through elementary school, hence we are you, whatever you made us when we were little, so please do not take the high ground and try to pull the religion card, for it seems like you are the first one to cast the stone without first looking in the mirror.

Answer 3

I hate to tell you this sweetie, but many soldiers usually have more morals than our civilian counterparts...if you compare the crime rate of the military to the crime rate of a city about the same size...it is far below what civilians are doing...you must not be very old, I can tell this by the type of soldier you are talking about...when you are a young soldier you drink and party a lot...mainly because we have more money than civilians our own age...go to any college campus and I would bet it is far worse there than in the military...the older we get the better we are...I know I quit drinking and partying when I was 26 and have not really been drunk that much since...I am 33 now...also it is not up to you to call a war baseless...when you understand history and the world you might feel different, maybe...if you do not like military men, well stay at home or find other places to hang out...I know I look damn good in and out of uniform...(99% of women can't be wrong) and I am smarter than 90% of the people on this board..so your hypothesis is flawed...

Answer 4

Ummm if you are meeting these guys in these bars and are able to describe their behavior, what kind of person are you if you are hanging out in the same kind of place? I know tons of military people that never step foot in bars and clubs and are great people. The military is full of regular people. Regular civilian people just like yourself are hanging out in these questionable bars and clubs, so why are military guys held to a different standard than you are. We all work very hard and if some military people want to go to a bar and have a good time they can. Do you have any proof to back up your statements about adultery and other crimes? Probably not. Maybe you are miffed that you aren't their first choice or something, who knows. But your free time at some nasty sounding bar is not a basis for a moral or political conversation about the war and the men and woman that choose to fight for the country you live in. If you don't like the guys at the bars don't go there. Maybe spend your free time more productively. Drunk opinions on the war from bar flies really doesn't hit a home run with anyone who may be listening to you. Also, how many guys are going to a bar or club in uniform? None. Are you referring to the movie an Officer and a Gentleman? Maybe you are confused with reality.

Answer 5

Since the military is a microcosm of society, you'll have all types in the military.

I've never been around the types that hang out in bars, commit crimes, and cheat on their wives. My guess is that it's because I have nothing in common with people like that. The people I surround myself with have masters degrees (and above) and are very decent family oriented people.

I can only conclude that there's something about YOUR lifestyle that attracts such undesirable people (military or civilian). Just a tip... having a glamor shot for your avatar isn't going to change that trend.

Answer 6

i went out with a US miltary guy for 4 yrs i am english by the way and i found him a lot better than the english guys, I also work with ex military with mental health, some act the way they do because they are lost in life and i can't blame them for what they do if they are going to get women throwing themselves at them then who is not going to take it. There are good guys and bad guys in life including the military. Just don't date military guys then if you feel like that change.
professions date a cop or something.

ok i have read the comments and its like everybody is saying its not the people its the places I live right near a Airforce base and its seems to be the younger ones that behave in a manner but hey they just left home they can drink here at 18 so who is'nt going to lap it up while stationed aboard. Now as the comments to the war i work with men that have served many years in the military from the flaklands to the present war in iraq, men join the military to seek change no one asked to go to iraq. But hun sit tight and the right person will come along just don't class everyone the same there are some wonderful military guys out there i must say that most are married but there are still there but with the ratio of 7 women to 1 man good luck lol

Answer 7

Now, I guess that would depend on the Soldier, wouldn't it?

There are plenty of very intelligent men and women in the military -- people who can qualify for International Mensa -- and then there are some pretty ignorant folks, too. And there are amoral folks as well as those with great honor and honesty.

But haven't you noticed the same thing in the civilian world? There are some folks who look darned good in their civilian clothes, but are dumber than doorposts. And there are plenty of civilians with the morals of a randy rooster.

So what is the REAL basis for your useless rant? Are you attempting to base your opinions purely on those you meet in bars? that's a pretty baseless generalization, because the types of folks you meet in bars -- military or civilian -- generally are of a kind.

You want to meet other types of people, go hang out with a different sort of crowd. Try a church some time -- lots of military folks are upstanding, God-fearing, honorable people. You've just missed them because you're hanging with the wrong crowd.

Answer 8

Just a question back. What bars are you hanging out in if you see this so frequently? Maybe your morals should be looked at?

Men are men. The only difference is their age, and what they do for a living. They are all the same, have the same thoughts, and want the same thing. Some put on a uniform and go to war, others go to the next county where their wife won't find them.

Answer 9

My favorite is the White Navy officer uniform. A close second would be the BDUs. I can't explain why a guy looks better in uniform. I just love how he looks in it! For me, I think it's all about knowing that he's in the military, so he obviously keeps himself in shape and whatnot. And then just seeing him in uniform...damn. You also know that he's tough. The whole thing just comes together when he's in uniform.

Answer 10

I think you need to meet more military people, the last study done which was in 2005 showed that 80% of the Armed US forces had a college degree.

as for being in the service of the Country.. yes it makes you special.. not ever have done it. you would not know.. but the US Military has freed more people in the world than any other org in the world. it has help far more people than any group ever has. as far as crime.. dear lord visit any high school in the nation run by left wing wackos.. rape, murder, robbery.. drugs.. you name it. it is 100 times worse in high school than in the US military.. but people like you think that is ok,. as far as morals.. what did you do at 18... 19... 20? go to bars.. drink.. go home withsomeone.. smoke something against the law? please stop being holier than noone and look at the homes, schools, water ways, streets, power plants they have build... look at the number of women in iraq alone that can now... go to school... vote own a business..
if you want to cry about something.. cry about the black failureship in the US. with the losers al sharpton and jessie jackson
