Young men and women out there. Look into the ROTC

To the young men and women of this board and out there in America, I urge you to look into this program. This is a fine institution of training you for your future and a good program at learning self dicipline which the youth of today lacks. Get ahead of the others. Joining the ROTC will help structure your lives as it has done for countless others offering benefits such as a college education and serving your countrys military. Later you will use the skills that you learned in the civilian life that will lead to ultimate success. This is a great opportunity not to pass up.

it's just too damned bad these days most likely an enlistee will end up getting hurt or killed before they even get a chance to use that GI Bill or help paying for college. here's what i think, i think if a young man or woman ends up fighting in a war and gets killed. the military should atleast have to pay for all of the funeral costs. civilian success huh? that's odd, because most people i know who have been in the military aren't anymore successful than your average civilian is.

 

Skip,that is just your opinion but not of the others. Let them have their say by looking at the link. You have people who signed up for generations til this day who are fighting and sacrificing FOR YOU and your freedom of speech, the first ammendment. Censorship of my post by taking the link of (I just censored the US Gov't. - EAT SHIT!) is a slap in the face of the constitution of which these men and women are defending. I say let them have their discussion of the ROTC program and the great benefits of it.:cheers2:

 

LMAO . The skills I learned in the service. Door gunner in a helecopter. Big demand for that. I say stay away. You don't have to go into the service any more.

Peace

 

So I agree with you on something, yes protest them. We did.

Peace

 

I call it communist sympathizing and Anti-American. Anyway that is what these fine youg men and women are dying for. So you can protest your freedom of expression. Do you appreciate the troops for what they have taken an OATH to? I hope you didn't take that oath and then turn around and spit on the flag and soldiers.

what freedoms are they defending exactly? the freedom to pay five bucks for a gallon of gas? freedom to shell a foreign country based off of faulty intelligence and outright lies? it's a good thing not everyone who has been in the military is as brainwashed as you are. a friend of mine was over in iraq awhile back, even he has admitted that nobody's freedoms are being defended. he told me that nearly everyone he served over there with inj Iraq have come to conclude that we're wasting both resources and money by being over there. seriously, how much are they paying you to come on to this website and disseminate prowar propaganda?

 

Im 20 years old and live in Australia.
I have a strong desire to join the army.
My only desire is to be of service to the people of earth. I want to devote all of my strength, time and energy to being all that I can be, even if that means being cannonfodder. My ultimate dream is to be a plumber, to help poor nations.

Or am I just naive and young in thinking of these things. Am I just part of the problem...

 

Well would you be happy to get the price of gas lowered we just go in and take over Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and Venezuala to satisfy you? That is the only way to take conrtrol and lower the prices. We have the might to do it. Is that what you want because the prices arent going to get any lower.

 

Where's "guy" an his infamous " why don't you go join up" line.

No one seems to have a problem with his recruiting.

Is it because he does it for free ?

 

i don't know if australians have anything like the peace corps. but that sort of outlet would be a better one to do if you want to go to poor countries and help the less fortunate.

 

sure, we might as well. seeing as how we and those backing us pretty much have taken over iraq and afghanistan.

 

Allow me to drop a stink bomb to clear the air in here.

I just posted this in another thread, but it seems to fit in here as well.

And then ask yourself, you young people..."Do you want to die for this man's sake?"

The whole idea is silly, if not dam right stupid. This fuking troll would'nt sign up for service if he had too, just another coward, silverspoon who never spent a day in service to anything but Exxon, selling utter bullshit.

 

I happen to think that when US Citizens protest immoral acts committed by the people elected to govern them, they are acting in a manner which is extremely pro-American. You might try reading the Constitution.

 

What ? I was drafted. I fought a war that was hell. Did you ? Spit on the flag ? A symbol. Never. I did my time in Vietnam and I don't want any young people to have to fight a war like that again. Communist ? Yes I support the troops. But they joined up.nobody made them. I support them but I don't understand them. If we were fighting the right war then hell I might want to get back in it. They are not fighting for our freedom much like I was not fighting for our freedom.

Peace

 

Shit, that dude "U.S. Army Retired " doen't have to worry about violating oaths, he never took em and never will, he's a fuking chicken hawk, just like Bush and his merry band of draft dodging cowards. I goddam gaurantee ya if that silverspoon spent a day in a combat zone, he'd never talk the shit he's talking.
