not to appear petty, but..

Dick....hmmm...yes, I have one of those.

 

Well, they can't force you... it's just really irritating sometimes. Ahaha, but once you piss them off, they'll usually leave you alone.

 

that was my point.

 

dont really see why its gotta bother you... they're not forcing you to enlist, are they?

just let people do what they want.

 

hahaha


red, meg, play nice now.


haha yeah meg....they're really irritating, they deserve it.

 

like i said...it's like herding sheep to the slaughterhouse...sure the sheep could run away...but it doesn't know what the fuck's going on, does it?


of course, some of these rednecks i wouldn't mind being dead, but, yeah.

 

all i wanted to point out was that its nice to not have military shoved down your throat all the time.

 

so basically you're saying that you know they are wrong and that your beliefs are the highest in the land, so you have to force those beliefs onto them?

 

yeah chuck, sure.

 

yeah

 

is 'live and let live' too hard of a concept for you to grasp?

 

leave eddy alone.
this silly debate wont even matter when yer all dead.

 

hahaha. yeah. i don't feel like arguing right now.

and if i want to chuck, and i'm going to anyway, it's not like you're gonna change my mind, why not? like you said, live and let live, eh.

 

i dont see how the question i asked could've been the least bit offensive..

teen angst is boring.

 

i didnt say it was. i just told ya to leave her alone

 

chuck...you're making me hot, STOP it

 

it'd matter if he killed him because of it



and that is why that little axiom means nothing.... thaer is a counter-example...

 

Acording to the department of labor, jobs where you drive like truck drivers around are typically much more dangerous then jobs in the military.

And they aren't even helping spread democracy. Of course they do help spread snack cakes... it's a tough call.

 

When I was in high school I took the ASVAB and scored really high, these recruiters started calling me and so I finally set up a meeting with them. My Dad and stepmom are in the army and encouraged me to do this and the test, I just wanted to get out of class so it was no big deal to me, I had no intentions of going into the army. However I set up a meeting and a recruiter came to my house. He talked to me about the range of opportunities and tried to guage which was the best reason for me to come into the military: travel, experience, discipline, education.


He definately sold it to me as if I were going on a free, all expenses paid vacation and showed me this expensive video on his expensive laptop about how fun the military is. I asked him about war, and he told me the army is not about war, war is the last possible 'frontier' in the way of diplomacy and the only people that go to war are those who are inclined in the fighting expertise, and they know in their job criteria that they are the ones who will go, he did say that of course if by chance there is a need for a lot of troops they will send everyone who is capable, but that I shouldn't worry about that, and then went on to say that fighting a war was the opportunity to defend the rights of our nation's citizens and save lives. I didn't dare say 'what if I don't agree with the war that I'm being assigned to fight in' So I told him I was not interested but thanks for coming.

By the way this was in the spring of 2002, September 11th happened in the first or second week of my senior year and my stepmom worked at the pentagon as well as many of my friends and classmates families worked in Washington, DC as did my dad and were military or government officials. He called me just about every week trying to get me to change my mind and sent me things as well. To this day they are still calling me and sending me things 3 years later and my dad has told them that I don't even live there anymore, and I haven't lived there in three years. So does this sound like telemarketing advertisement or what?

 

The army recruiters are doing you a favour, getting rid of hicks and dumbasses

THANK THEM
