I am attempting to join the ARMY.

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.

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?

I was a fire fighter for 4 years, what of it?

What do I do now? well I don't help my government rob oil off people, and I don't kill people.

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.

[Master]

You are a brave man to do this, very brave, I could not do it ever. I could join the fire brigade however.

[Hornfinger]

You are a brave man to do this, very brave, I could not do it ever. I could join the fire brigade however.

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.

Whats the matter hit a raw nerve, wrong time of the month, not getting any, that was a joke.

No I was agreeing with you fire fighters do fuck all, and are complete pussies.

You forgot the other stereotype that they all have second jobs as well.

[Ghost]

Hornfinger, where do you hail from?

Why did you stop being a Fire fighter?

You could have just said:
I wouldn't personally join the Army, I think it's all about the control of others from the politicians right down through ranks then out onto the countries we move against, instead of for the protection of others at home or there.

Yeah no one should join the army that way other countries who have people join there army can take advantage of you. Have some respect people are risking there lives to keep you me and everyone of this forum safe from threats like terrorism. Would you rather wake up to bombs going of where you live? Because i know i sure as hell am glad there are soldiers keeping that threat away from my home and country. I'd say the real stupidity can be seen in a man who sits behind his computer saying every soldier is a murderer fighting for oil. Talk about brainwashed you must have repeated it about 3/4 times and these men and women who chose to fight are the brainwashed ones...

If everyone in every country refused to be in the army would we have to worry?

Especially us in the west as no one has the missile capability to hit us from there country. And even if they did you'd litterally see the missile coming from a mile a way and would be able to intercept it.

In the west we don't have wars now anyway, they are bombing campeigns. when was the last time that during 'war time' any western country was bombed/invaded by a foreign enemy?

Terrorism threat? what terrorism threat? It is an undeniable statistical fact that more people die each year getting stung by bees than they do getting killed in 'terrorist' attacks. So if you really want to save people in your country it might be a more worth while cause to become a bug exterminator. You'll be saving alot more people in your country that way.

What do I do now? well I don't help my government rob oil off people, and I don't kill people.

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.

So cuz your gas prices are reaching 4 dollars a gallon you encourage people like no contest to go and join up and go out and kill some people to go get you some cheaper oil. Yeah great stuff. As long as your car drives around and you can get on with your life who gives a flying fuck. Let's some one else die for it.

If you want to serve your country their are much better ways of doing it. If you're a yank start with the real problem which is the federal reserve, that's why your 14 trillion in the hole. And you think fighting all this pointless wars isn't contributing to that debt? If the military really wanted to do something for their country they'd all quit now and do something to take back their country from the banks and the corrupt government. Maybe you could have some real democracy other than this republican/democrat facade which are two parts of the same thing.

Make sweeping statements about fire fighters or musicians or teachers, I don't give a shit what you say about my profession because bottom line I'm not killing someone, and I'm not doing government dirty work.
