    I just never understood that idea of joining the military. Who wants to be shot at, and kill people for a living? I mean, I guess its just my opinion, but....THATS FREAKY! I mean i dont think the pay is even that good that it would motivate people enough. Help me on this people.

    The idea is defense of your country, patriotism, honor, tradition ect. I highly doubt anyone in there right mind joins and says cool I get to kill. I would say many years ago that was the case ie WW2 but that was likely due to the way it was treated, youth wanted to get even, it was prideful to want to go out and get them bad ppl and such.

    Killing for a living is more like a professional hit man. In the military there are alot of tasks others than killing, thats like being a police officer or a doctor even. There are days you have to make a call to allow another or assist another to die so that others may live or be safe.. Police kill everyday and have far less people shooting at them. Now a contract killer, they get paid very well if they are good (international scene). You would likely have to hold no value to human life, just a job ya know, dont know but that would be totally cold.

    a lot of people join the military because it pays for their colleges to a certain extent i think. it also pays enough, so that some people want to join... theres also a lot of pressure to join in a lot of places... not only that they play adds on tv and there are pop ups on certain sights saying that the military is a great experience and that it lets you push yourself to your limits and be the best you can be and a bunch of other shit.... i agree with the killing for a living isnt a good thing at all... if i ever get drafted (if they still have that... im nto sure) im going to refuse to go... i dont think killing people is worth it. id rather do comunity service, or work for the red cross or something... id rather be in jail than in the military though.

    Yeah its a little farfetched when you think about it. Supposedly you go to hell for killing another man but if your in the military you kill hundreds yet your spared. I never did believe in that concept anyway.

    if you kill somone in america, even in self defence, you can get thrown in jail for it. the moment you kill somone in war, its justified because the country says so... thats not right either.

    10 easy steps to create an enemy and start a war:
    Listen closely because we will all see this weapon used in our lives.
    It can be used on a society of the most ignorant to the most highly educated.
    We need to see their tactics as a weapon against humanity and not as truth.

    First step: create the enemy. Sometimes this will be done for you.

    Second step: be sure the enemy you have chosen is nothing like you.
    Find obvious differences like race, language, religion, dietary habits
    fashion. Emphasize that their soldiers are not doing a job,
    they are heartless murderers who enjoy killing!

    Third step: Once these differences are established continue to reinforce them
    with all disseminated information.

    Fourth step: Have the media broadcast only the ruling party's information
    this can be done through state run media.
    Remember, in times of conflict all for-profit media repeats the ruling party's information.
    Therefore all for-profit media becomes state-run.

    Fifth step: show this enemy in actions that seem strange, militant, or different.
    Always portray the enemy as non-human, evil, a killing machine.


    THIS IS HOW TO CREATE AN ENEMY. THIS IS HOW TO START A WAR.
    THIS IS HOW TO CREATE AN ENEMY.

    Sixth step: Eliminate opposition to the ruling party.
    Create an "Us versus Them" mentality. Leave no room for opinions in between.
    One that does not support all actions of the ruling party should be considered a traitor.

    Seventh step: Use nationalistic and/or religious symbols and rhetoric to define all actions.
    This can be achieved by slogans such as "freedom loving people versus those who hate freedom."
    This can also be achieved by the use of flags.

    Eighth step: Align all actions with the dominant deity.
    It is very effective to use terms like, "It is god's will" or "god bless our nation."

    Ninth step: Design propaganda to show that your soldiers
    have feelings, hopes, families, and loved ones.
    Make it clear that your soldiers are doing a duty; they do not want or like to kill.

    Tenth step: Create and atmosphere of fear, and instability
    and then offer the ruling party as the only solutions to comfort the public's fears.
    Remembering the fear of the unknown is always the strongest fear.


    We are not countries. We are not nations. We are not religions.
    We are not gods. We are not weapons. We are not ammunition. We are not killers.
    We will NOT be tools.

    Mother fuckers
    I will not die
    I will not kill
    I will not be your slave
    I will not fight your battle
    I will not die on your battlefield
    I will not fight for your wealth
    I am not a fighter
    I am a human being!!!
