joining the service

I was in a similar position a few years ago..

Life going nowhere, the jobs that were available not worth shit.. Even if I took one I'd still be making below the poverty line..

Questioned joining the military, had a few meetings with recruiters, was on the verge of joining the NAVY, but after the meetings, I knew it wasn't for me.. even if I joined and did my job, I knew I wouldn't be improving my life at all. The military is designed to get people to sign years of their life away at the minimal cost available. The lower the better!

IMO, there are better ways to earn money than joining the military.. If you choose to do that, know the consequences. In todays world, you will not be welcomed back as a hero.. You will be viewed as a domestic terrorist trained by the US (ARMY/NAVY/Air Force/Marines?), combat ready..

Given statistics.. I just hope you don't commit suicide first..

because this isn't an accident picture, it's a thread about joining the military, and the pix i'm posting are a direct result of people joining the military... why else would i be posting them??

now, if someone wanted to start a thread about the dangers of driving in a train, or a car, maybe i'd post those type of pix there, but when someone asks about the dangers of joining the military, well, i'll post these kind of pix in it..
for every hoo ha pro army video you post, i can find ten pix of kids with no arms and legs who bought into your hoo ha shit and now have to go through live with no arms and no legs, and for what? because someone like me didn't warm them first?? well, i can't just let you post the hoo ha videos with out doing my duty and showing the flip side to all that bravado..
