I am attempting to join the ARMY.

[generalbulldog]

Bombing afghanistan and iraq is not protecting my freedom, my freedom was never in danger from either of those countries. The faulklands didn't protect my freedom, Vietnam didn't protect my freedom. All were pointless and just cost lives very very needlessly, and were all put into operation on a lie. The sooner people realize this and stop encouraging each other to go out and do these stupid things the sooner we can stop the pointless loss of our loved ones.

In my life time I'm not greatful to the army for anything. NOT ONE THING!

The only thing I am pro war about, is it is the last line of natural selection we have. Although that is not really true anymore when you look at the statistics of troops from the west who died in afghanistan/iraq compared to the number they anhiliated.

Seeing as this is in the 'let's get it on' section of this forum I am breaking no rules by EXPRESSING MY OPINION on this topic.

Not stopping you from expressing your opinion, Far from it.

And you are not breaking any rules in this section of the forum. And thank you for pointing out witch section we are in as any thing goes down. (Forgot that for a moment)

Don't know about your grandparents, but if you were my kid, you would not be walking for a month. Don't give 2 shits where you are from, where your grand parents fought or in witch war. Common courtesy is some thing most kids were taught some years ago. You young fuck wits seem to have lost that training or your parents forgot what it meant. No problem, I can come down to your level and converse in child speak.

Your opinion means jack to me.Could careless what you think about the army, the government or even me. You are so low on my to do list that it might be a year before I even think about you again.

Or in other words, talking about pond scum would be more interesting than listening to the dribble that pours out of your mouth.

You would beat your kid for expressing an entirely valid viewpoint?

Hornfinger has said nothing particularly controversial. Sure, he could have said it with more tact, but ultimately he is quite right. The Vietnam war WAS built upon a deception. The Iraq war was again based upon deception. How dare Hornfinger suggest that those that went there to serve were in some way complicit in the deception and ultimately helped to kill many millions of people. Sure, they may have been ignorant or else just didn't care about the politics, but they still partook in a dishonest war effort. Are you suggesting that he is making that up and is out of line for suggesting that this was the case?

But sure, whip off the belt and beat the kid who reads between the lines. Gotta make those darn kids learn some respect!

That's not the point, and you're being bias and dismissing the man's words because it doesn't fall in line with yours. The point he and I was talking about earlier was the word RESPECT. You and Hornfinger do know what that word means right?

In this thread take a guess on which member(s) comes in with blatant disrespect insulting the OP? Just take a guess? Yeah you have freedom of speech and all that jazz. And no one is stopping you guys from expressing it. But where is the respect? And the op is a long time member. All he is asking for forum members here is to wish him good luck and that he feels that this is the best option for him in terms of career and money for college.

You and Hornfinger seriously have a problem with that? I've been here on this forum for almost 2 years and almost every single one of the guy's post is a windup to get under the skin of other people. We all do it from time to time. But the guy does it constantly and this thread isn't for that.

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.

You don't see the blatant disrespect in this 1st post of your buddy in this thread? And Ghost is right, this generation has a major problem with the words respect and common courtesy.

With your way of thinking and reasoning I can go tell my neighbor right in her face that I don't like her and think she's a disgusting old hag and say, "Hey I'm just expressing my opinion, nothing controversial about my view." But you know what? It's rude, disrespectful, crass, and lacks any sense of decency or courtesy as a neighbor.

So if someone posts up a thread saying I'm off to join the KKK and burn black people for a living or go on a spree raping and killing women we should all say 'ah good for you mate, hope it works out for you' right?

It's called freedom of speech sunshine. It's what your constitution used to stand for and what people used to fight their own government for. These days people like you are to blind/stupid to realize that you are giving support to abolish the right of freedom of speech. What are the army doing to protect that? Nothing cuz they're off bombing afghanistan.

Freedom of speech as long as it's supporting the government and their policies right?

Popular speech doesn't need protecting it's unpopular speech like mine that does. For instances like this.

Joining the army for college money is a bullshit excuse. In the words of Doug Stanhope, 'If your dumb enough to join the army chances are college ain't gonna help'

[No Contest]

I'm joining the Army just to spite Miles and Hornfinger. I hope I get to kill some innocents and babies that sounds like fun.
