| libertinias said: I am avoiding the huge arguement about the morality of war, and just want to point out something practical. I just got back from a recruiting office and one of the soldiers pointed out something about registering for the selective service that I didn't know. You have until you're 25 to register. If you don't, then you miss your chance and can't ever join the army. You may not be interested now, but don't limit your future options. I never planned to join, but after college, it seems like a good option. I'm looking at 20k a year, housing costs, food costs, and health insurance. It's pretty sweet. I'm getting married before I go to basic, so my longtime girlfriend will get to enjoy the benefits too. This beats another year of working just to pay rent in Michigan's poor economy. If you're young, you will probably change your mind a lot before you settle down into middle age. Do not limit your options now by doing something misguided on principle. |
You, good sir, apparently need to watch some drama tv. Clearly, when you go away from your soon to be wife, she will get very lonely, and will eventually begin cheating on you. By the time you get back, it will somehow be to the point where her new boyfriend is living in YOUR house, and your wife will tell you to get the hell out.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
