why do you want to waste your life?
I cannot think of anything worse or more pointless.
Unless you like killing poor, weaker people than yourself to rob their country of their natural recourses of course.

To save the guy fighting along side you who was equally stupid to sign up for wasting his life to kill poor weaker people... That's a good enough reason... Once your over there anyway and forgotten why the hell you signed up in the first place...
I don't think you could find a rarer human experience than going to war or involving yourself in true life or death situations where it is you or someone else... And on a daily basis to have people along side you who you know at certain times you have saved their lives, and they have saved yours... I cannot think of anything more rewarding or humbling to your soul....
On one hand honestly, it is the stupidest thing in the world.. Like you suggested, politically, you may be fighting for a dumb reason.. Survival wise, you can live at home and never ever for your whole life be in any real danger or risk... And to actually have the choice,,,, not thrown into it,,, and choose to go to war and risk all that.. It's reallllly stupid..
But on the other hand, when I see a mindless zombie going to work every day for 60 years to pay for a tv and a couch and then die wishing at some point, their life had meant something, then I think of that life as a waste as well....
It's all about what we do with our life,,, the experiences we seek to fulfill what we feel like we were put here for.... For the 30 years of my life I have lived now.. I feel I have wasted 30 of them... You are no doubt going to find some sort of meaning for it when you join the army.. Even if it's handed to you by a superior... That is a good start for a lot of people...

If you were to look at the rack of ribbons on my uniform you'd see the Humanitarian Service Medal I was awarded for spending a month helping southwest Louisiana rebuild after Katrina. And while I didn't go to Haiti I did spend a week on the flight line loading C130 aircraft much like I will again when I get back to Hood to support the thousands of U.S. service members helping in Japan. I did kill some people in Iraq/Afghanistan, you know the kind of people that strap C4 to down syndrome girls and walk them into open markets, but I can say I don't have barrels of oil sitting in my garage. But you know hornfinger the thing that stands out about my trips to Iraq and Afghanistan is the 100's of humanitarian missions I was involved in such as bringing U.S. doctors to a neighborhood where they treated in excess of 500 people, building a well in a remote village in Afghanistan, helping to install a water purification system in an Iraqi village, handing out bags of food to people and rebuilding schools where we were able to give small children their first backpack with school supplies. And you know Hornfinger when I am not doing things like that I'm teaching young Soldiers a marketable skill, leadership, duty, responsibility, selfless service, honor, integrity and personal courage. You may not like my country's foreign policy and hell I don't blame you. I don't like it either. But to suggest that an individual that chooses to sacrifice much of their time and freedom to be part of something bigger that serves their fellow countryman is a waste is absurd
But I digress, what is that you do for a living again?
Most bad government has grown out of too much government. Thomas Jefferson
The scene : Andre at his computer deep in the heart of the largest open air Jail in the world: wobbles slightly as he stands, spills some more shit into the keyboard,raises his glass as it dribbles down his Khaki shirt n shorts and starts to fill up his thongs or flip flaps whatever you guys call them.
And saysFor reality sake you'll have to repeat this with your tounge hanging out)..
"I'd like to make a toast, to Her Majesty the Queen of England."
He stands there and wobbles again:Trying to focus on the screen, Imagining men standing at their computers all over the world, Miles in Korea, Biblo on his knees somewhere up the hall stands up mid stroke, Dark Lord Al stops beating on someones forehead holds them up by the hair, stands, as the world of Saddos turns to face Buckingham palace and salutes Mummsy, Biggy Ears and all their clan.
"God save the Queen,God save America and God save all their fighting Allies"![]()
From the horses mouth....
Hey Hornfinger, if you dont have anything to add to this thread, why don't you fuck off?![]()
Touching a nerve ay? Seems to me in trying to let another human being they have a lot more to live for than fighting pointless wars for greedy governments I'm adding a lot more to the thread than you. Mr blind sheep that does and believes anything his government says. If you had a mind of your own you might be dangerous.![]()
No you haven't touch a nerve, this thread isn't about American's foreign policy or it's wars, it's about a guy wanting opportunities in life, and he's getting advice from people and well wishers. But you on the other hand came in and start going off about wars, innocent dead, etc. You managed or attempting to derail this thread.
All you have done is serious trolling. I think it's pretty pathetic that someone's highlight of the day is troll around. BTW, I thought you said you're done with trolling? http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingfor...-my-chest.html
RIGHT....I guess thats why the U.S. checking account is at -14 trillion and gas prices here in the U.S. are quickly approaching $4/gallon. Come on man show a little class. No Contest wants to serve his country and myself and others on this sight have dedicated their life to military service. I'm sure I could make some sweeping nefarious generalization about fire fighters or whatever you do now, but that is what I was raised to call being an asshole.

You are a brave man to do this, very brave, I could not do it ever. I could join the fire brigade however.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Yeah and save lives, educate kids in school. Yeah all fire fighters are pussys, never risk their health and don't do any good in the comunity. Well not as much good as a brainwashed troop whos only objective is kill or be killed. God I wish I could do that.
People forget. There is a fine line between bravery and stupidity. IMO you cross the line into stupidity as soon as you sign up for the army.
