Mead 01/27/18 9:14:23 PM #4:	Yep I enlisted in the Air Force at 18 but during delayed enlistment I met my now wife and my entire life kinda changed in a lot of ways, so I weaseled my way out of it. It isnt something Im proud of, I was honest with them though and told them why. They werent happy about it but in the end the recruitment officer told me he understood and wished me well. No way around it though, it does make me an oathbreaker. Sometimes I do wonder what kind of person I would be if I had actually joined. --- All praise Mead <cite>Mead posted [p:894933883] in Have you e...

Alex1976 01/27/18 9:19:59 PM #5:	I never was in shape for the military. Even if I was, I wasn't keen on something that would mean having to pull up stakes and move time and time again. My dad was in the Navy, and by the time I was 9, I had lived in 7 different places (including where I currently reside) - and I had more than enough of moving by then. --- When ancient man screamed and beat on the ground with sticks, they called it WITCHCRAFT.

vhiran 01/27/18 9:21:27 PM #6:	Yes I have Was in the Marines for 8 years, 6 active 2 reserve. all contracts are 8 years technically so when my 4 year mark came up I said eff it and went on another deployment (Iraq 1st, Afghanistan 2nd) at the end because it was so much better than being in garrison and being treated like a dumbass kid by various commands. Then the last 2 years in the reserve so i could get school going. It worked well. So anyway If you have, did it completely destroy your sense of independence? They take care of things for you for the most part, you just have to show up to work, depending on your job you might need to go to the gym a few times a week so you're ready for the inevitable fitness tests. But in taking care of things, they don't treat you like an adult. I knew one guy, he didn't transfer over to the real world. I went to his house once and he had like zero possessions outside of a nice PC gaming setup. no job, no food, it was pretty sad. I told him to go back in and he did, but there was a guy who obviously needed his hand held to make it through the day. Then, there's the other 99% of guys i know who were in, they are all well-adjusted with decent careers and attractive wives/gfs/etc who are mostly winning in life.

Why don't I support war mongering? Really? Ok so issue by issue: 1. We established our own country to get away from British imperialism, not to out do them at their own game. I respect the laws and borders of sovereign nations. We have no right to meddle in the affairs of others. 2. Drone strikes kill as many innocent civilians as they do terrorists. When you kill civilians, you only convince the survivors to support the terrorists instead of you. 3. I believe in the non aggression principle. Preemptively attacking other nations makes us the aggressor, which puts us in the wrong morally. 4. Stealing trillions of dollars that could have otherwise stayed in taxpayer's pockets is theft.
