[@apocalypticredix8538]

So did I, besides the money's shit and the gov't can take away all your benefits without notice.

[@Andy-im3kj]

I was in the military, too. I have to agree with BakyDuffer, the pay isn't worth it at all, the government can and will take everything away from you if it seems fit (denying VA claims, loans, "losing" important paperwork, etc.). Also, some of the people there are just as mindless as everyone else, and don't actually support you, and would rather have you down and out, versus doing great and succeeding in life. The worst part is, once you are down and out, they then desperately will try to do damage control and pretend to give a helping hand. Honestly, you'd be a lot happier just working a normal 9-5 job, going to school, and raising a family. Trust me, being in the military is one of those things that'll constantly irk you for the rest of your life, and ALOT of people don't know how to cope with it, and some can't and go over the edge. Take it from vets like us, there's nothing glorious in the military. Nothing at all.

Just to speak for the other side. If i hadn't joined the military i would never be where I am right now. The Army helped establish a foothold in life that otherwise I would never have. Now with that said...yes YOU HAVE TO WORK FOR IT! But its as easy as that. I was provided money for college, cheap home loans, and guess what, everyone wants to hire me for jobs! Since then I have decided to go in the medical field and am exceeding at my courses and on my way to bigger and better things. Don't let people blow smoke at you and shy you away from doing what you set out to do. There are always horror stories and granted War is terrible but with that said the military can give you the tools to change your life if you decide to work at it and not everyone in the military is going out murdering civilians lol. Its just ridiculous to not understand how many other jobs there are available to people other than combat arms (even in combat arms you dont have to murder civilians or make bad choices lol). Get your Masters degree then go into the medical side and become a physicians assistant and guess what ITS ALL FREE through the Army. Become a captain then make money and go travel, get out and have a life for yourself!! Dont give up one what you want! And dont listen to negative people. You had a bad experience well suck it up and drive on. Its your life!! Good luck !

[@BenD88343]

Dude Arino why not flip burgers to pay for college? perhaps you have heard of student loans? what are student loans ? the government or a bank will lend you money to complete your education. once you have your degree and start working you pay it back...! there are endless options to make you stable and land you a career that is lucrative. every option is better than murdering people for a living... I feel horrible for most soldiers . the true victims of war are soldiers who have to live with what they've done forever . when they sign up for the military they think that they are doing the right thing . then reality sets in and you realize that you have killed innocent people. it is the worst pain to live with knowing you've taken another life.. if you have morals that is! you seem proud of your achievements and are a pathetic human as a result. having your education paid for is not a morally acceptable means to kill innocent men women and children. is it OK to kill your neighbour for his house?no. then why is it OK to kill someone in another country for an education?

This is unfortunately the democracy of USA and the West of Europe & NATO. Meaning that the top people of the decision maker in those countries not the general people. When the decision maker want to invade a country they try to find a lie to accuse the country of being sporter of a terrorist group like what happened to Gaddafi. The question is why they did that to Gaddafi reason Gaddafi not like the head of Saudi Arabia or the gulf state UAE's and other sheik whom are Puppet to USA and the west of Europe those sheik states never been called state of supporting terrorists group even though 9/11/ had Saudis person. Gaddafi knows well that who is behind the curtain of the decision maker in USA and Europe and made impossible for them to interfere in the libyan decision like their involvement in the Saudi Arabia and UAE's. Nowadays Libya is driven by Mali tea group whom supported by USA government proving that by handing over to USA Abouagila a libyan person accused of Lockerbie bombing. Lockerbie file was closed by Libya and Lockerbie victims and USA government

Joseph ivanovich true genuine American Conservatives are always anti-war. More wars of choice expand the State, which causes more taxes, which can go towards more wars.

Good. This kind of stuff shouldn't be a partisan belief that boils down to oversimplified politics. We should be able to solve complex political problems like these regardless of our politician affiliations.

[@angadbhogal4449]

@@shmeckle666 Following the original, textbook definition of conservative, it *supported* the monarchy, empire, and imperialism *over* the republic, whereas "liberal" and "left-wing" were the terms for supporters of the republic. So, you cannot just ignore that and suddenly declare that the "true" definition of "conservative" is actually what you just wrote, when the literal history records show that that is clearly not true. "True conservative" loyalists, by their very definition as per the conception of the term "conservative" as a political one, supported the monarchy, empire, and imperialism, with liberalism advocating against imperialism and for the republic. The term "conservative" (otherwise long used apolitically, well before it became politicized in the 18th century) literally came to political life in the 18th century by being defined as *supportive of the monarchy.* Unless you advocate for entirely abandoning the whole left/right, liberal/conservative spectrum/paradigm and its entire dogma as whole, which I'm actually all for.

*Order followers* don't follow their conscience, they do not care about any difference between right and wrong but simply want to abdicate their moral responsibility to make such judgments for themselves onto someone else...ie..onto the ones giving them the orders. The order followers, in my opinion, are in fact more culpable than the ones who are giving the orders because they're the ones taking action and bringing about the manifestation of all the attrocities that are occurring such as the beatings, maimings, mass murders, the killing and jailing of innocents...etc. *_"I'm just doing my job...I'm just following orders."_* As if your actions somehow don't make you an evil person. And just where was it that we all heard this excuse before? Oh, that's right! It was at the NAZI trials which took place in Nuremberg Germany in 1945 after the end of WW2. These excuses didn't cut it back then and they sure as shit don't cut it today.
