would you join the military

Many debate most people dont have facts to back their arguments or they don't know anything about it so why not have one where everyone can join in

I would want to I would love to hold a 50 cal machine gun. or a 50 cal sniper. I would love to be in the k9 squad or the bomb squad. I and I will kill. but most likely I would want to be in the k9 squad.

Depends on what position I am given. Being a nurse for the soldiers would be cool and pretty easy, however it may be messy and often times saddening. I don't really want to be on the battlefield so I may just ask for an office position or maybe scout out threats.

So something thats not in the battle.wjen you said maybe a nurse that could be good but also being a nurse means going out into the battle you be lucky to get out of it with out a shot

True, I did not take that into account. I would prefer to remain stationary at a home base or possibly just do office work for the military. I would find this to be less stressful.

Side: yes I love to serve my county

Yes because it would be challenging.

I actually considered joining the Navy so that I could try out to be a SEAL. I just don't like the way the government and the war has been going lately. I'd rather fight for a cause that I believe in.

I was strongly considering a military career when I was in high school. Took the asvab and aced the thing, and with that and my sat scores I had all of the branches blowing my phone up- they were coming on to me like a drunk girl on prom night!

That really put me off, and the changes in the political climate around that time strongly dissuaded me from joining, I ended up taking a second job instead and working my way through college. I stand by that choice to this day, but I do often wonder 'what if?'

Even if I don't agree with the direction our government and particularly our military has gone, there is a certain allure to a military career, and it was something of a family tradition; my paternal grandfather, his father, and so on going back for generations were military men. My father broke a tradition of sorts...

Yes, I think i would, because of several reasons.

Firstly, i suppose joining the military is a big adventure, new expectations and of course new life experience. People, who joined the military are different from another. They are more responsible and wise.

Secondly, military expands your physical abilities. Let's compare two guys, one of them didn't join military and another one joined. The first one isn't ready for some life unpredictable situations and doesn't know how to behave, but the second one went through such "university of life"

So, I'm a girl, but if i were a boy, doubtless, I would.

I am a pacifist, as Wilfred Owen said Dulce Et Decorum Est is a lie.

Side: no I don't want to die

If I'm going to be killing people I need to trust the people calling the shots, and since I have zero trust in our government there is no way I would ever join the military.

So what you are saying that even though your country could be taken over you will not help at all

I hadn't really thought about defense. I was thinking more about offense. If our country was being invaded I would help defend it, but I wouldn't take part in the invasion of another country because our last president showed that our government will lie and take us to war under false pretenses, so they can't be trusted.
