Military bro's, I need some advice

[Beachboy6294]

What can you do? There is just as many soldiers dying from accidents in the military as there are from Iraqi's killing them. But if you want to have no life, have low pay and take a chance of dying for Bush's secret agendas go ahead. Also even if your one hard ass mofo you still probably won't make it as a ranger or SF. I've known many of both and to have a chance it needs to be the passion of your life to even have a chance.

I almost forgot Bro, What do you mean no life? I had some of the best times of my life while in the Army and I got friends that I served with that I will die for! Man you never got to spend a few years in Europe tearing it up and all them fine girls? One weekend hit the beach in Spain, then Italy, go clubbing in Germany and to the nude lakes, & then Amsterdam!!! Yea sometimes it sucks and you don't feel like you have a life but even some of those times I look back and laugh and some stupid shit somebody said or did!

I don't know anything about you, but do you understand what I mean about what can you do? Why risk dying, shit Pat Tillman was killed by other Americans the military finally confirms now. If you were to die like this would you feel like you did something? The military has some many accidental deaths from war, training, PT you just don't hear about it. Going back to the Ranger SF thing I would try to talk to a few If I was you. You know how many people get injured badly in Ranger school. They say that school takes years off your life from getting no sleep for months. Here is one training challenge to work on to prepare, do as many pushups you can do straight then stay in the down part of the push up position for 30 minutes, you might do this for 1 hour staright in RIP. There will be alot harder shit then this once you get to RIP school (pre ranger).

If I were to die like that, I wouldn't know because I'd be dead. I appreciate your comments, though!! I know what I'm getting into, I will do my best and nothing fucking scares me!!!

I would rather gouge my eyes out with a spoon before serving under our jack-ass president. This however is NOT a political forum so I will leave my opinion at that. What the hell does this have to do with steroids???

Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong section, I'm just looking for advice wherever I can find it...
I've been battling with the idea of joining the military since I was 18, I'm now 23. I just can't seem to get over the need to help in some way if I can. To cut right to the chase, those of you who are in the military, do you feel like you have made a difference? I really dont like Bush or his agenda, but I feel that in order to have peace with myself, I need to know that I've helped other people in some way. The older I get, the more that I feel a duty to help those not as priviledged as us. I'm not some young yahoo who has the wrong idea of war and all of it's atrosities, I feel that I know as much as I can about it and I'm definatly not looking for glory or anything like that, I just want to help. So I guess my question to the military guys is, would you do it again if you had the chance? Thanks to everyone in advance, as this is something that has been ripping at me for a very long time and I'm about to make a final decision.

I was in the Army for 3 years with 1 year in Vietnam in an Armored Unit.I'm proud to have served and would do it again.No one thanked us for being in 'Nam but thank God people are appreciative for the soldiers coming home from Iraq.We need to show them all the support we can.

I was a child and teenager during Vietnam, but I remember those times and the treatment of returning soldiers and servicemen. I grew up in a military town and a lot of my friends had fathers serving in Vietnam and we always gave them a big welcome home. Still, our country should be ashamed of that. I was in the Gulf War and when we returned I think everyone went overboard on the appreciation, but that is better than the alternative. But a lot of us who don't necessrily say it really do appreciate your service in Vietnam and recognize the hardship you endured. There is no way to make up for the past, but "Thanks" for your service.

I'm not in favor of a lot of the current administration's policies, but if it ever gets to the point that people are showing disrespect to our service men and women I for one will go bust some heads.

I hate to piss on your cornflakes, but I'm just a regular fucking guy and I was a Ranger. Regular guys with some mental toughness and self discipline can do anything they want to. Rangers and SF guys piss standing up and put on their pants one leg at a time. They just made different choices and volunteered to put up with harder training and a harder way of life than other guys.
