Do you know many people in the military? A lot of them joined for money, for college, because they want to shoot people (yes, I have heard a few people actually say this...which is just sad), and for lack of anything better to do. I am not going to badmouth the troops, as I know a lot of good people who are in the military or have been in the military, but you are overestimating how noble many people's decision to enlist is, or how voluntary that choice is in some cases. |
Yes, I worked for the military for 7 years. Of the thousands of the enlisted and officers I have met, I can say they were outstanding individuals.
I worked for the JEOD for a year (Join Explosives Ordinance Disposal), The militaries version of the bomb squad, and I can say these people are a breed of human you will never understand.
They put there life in harms way for others during war and peace. They are not to be mocked, and people you should be proud to call fellow countrymen.
I have seen videos of collar bombs going off while a soldier tries to save the life of the person who's neck it's around. The success rate on removing a collar bomb is zero. It's never been done. All of them know this. Yet when they get the call to attempt to remove one, they go. They signed up to save peoples lives, and it's worth getting there hands blown off while watching a victim's head vaporize, for the minute chance that this time, they might save that persons life.
Your a kid who just goes to school, so you wouldn't have a fucking clue what I am talking about.
