For the same reason I'm not a bullrider. Because I'm not fucking stupid... 
But hey, to each their own. If it makes you feel like more of a "man" or "warrior", be my guest. And if you don't like people openly expressing their opinions that they think you're a fucking idiot for doing it, quit going and fighting for their right to freely think so...  |
I don't understand why people are arguing with you that 75% or so of the people who join, join because they had ZERO other options... It's like back home in WV... You either are smart enough to go get a Masters in something.. or you take the non educated way out and become a coal miner or soldier. Period. There's nothing wrong with finding a way to support your family.. but my belief is that soldiers fighting todays wars are hired guns for an administration that puts blood all over their hands...
The only missions and operations going on that have anything to really do with our freedom and catching bad guys are done by your SEALs and Rangers... the men on the front lines nowadays are just hired murderers..
Would I be able to do it? FUck no. Luckily, I had other options...
But you can't sit and deny that the majority of the people going into the armed forces are there because they had ZERO other options... I admire them providing for their families.. but the causes and reasons they're fighting are grossly misunderstood and pointless...
You can hate the war... think it's all murder.. and respect someone doing a job because its all they could get...
I go to Best Buy... and some dweeb with no social skills fixes my PC making $11/hr as a geek quad member... He couldn't do college or an IT degree because he just didn't have the skills or grades.. but fucker does an amazing job at his "job"... that's how I see the soldiers.. I just have ZERO respect for the jobs our government are putting them in..
And the video saddens me deeply... I respect those poor boys.. They're just trying to feed their families and being forced to kill and defend something that has ZERO to do with America's "honor" or "integrity"
