Discipline, i call that brainwashing. Obeying stupid orders and dying for big companies interests. I didn't study much before i went, but i saw immedeatly that all the 'professiona' sergeants and corporals where plain stupid, liking that they could get some 'power'. I am in favour of a professional army, cause tere where some fanatics (maybe 5%) that really wanted a career in the army and would fit very well.

If you need an army to see things and kill people everywhere in the mean time, i don't see that as 'seeing something from the world'. Than you better join an Island gethering in Vietnam, i can assure you that that is much much much nicer than when you would have gone there with the US Army. You can travel the whole world and make money online if you want to see the world.

In Holland they where also loooking of everybody had to join the army gain for 6 - 12 months. They saw that for most people it could cost more money. You start working one year later, what cost you money and will retire one year later. Wasted time people better spent in school. And now they start in Holland the discussion again, while the army doesn't have bullets to practice (too expensive) and they use bad helmets cause the best are sooo expensive...

I know some of my brothers friends, a lot have PTSD. Some peple commited suicide, a lot have problems in their family. For me is 1 thing clear, don't trust the governement and politics.

And if there is a real new word war and you need all forces. Train them in 4 weeks. I had training 8 weeks and the other 10 months did nothing. Well, they did nothing. I just went away and worked to make extra money working, and paid the fine. I remember one colonal shouting at me that i should adjust, that when i got back to real life companies would ask if you fulfilled your 'duty'. I said, you must be stupid thinking that 12 months smoking weed, drinking and partying will look good on my resumee.

Ps, when i was 17 i was already sailing fulltime on a sailing ship cause i wanted to see something. If you want to see things, you don't have to go in the army and treated like a dog that has to listen to his boss.

I was active member of a union for people that has to go to military service. I looked up all borders to break them. That picture above i put in my room. In the 70s it was forbidden, we tried in the nineties and i had to go to court, but we won and the cartoon wasn't forbidden anymore.. Realy, i could make the green man start looking red. Most angry you could get them by saying you would go to South America when a war with Russia would start... Deserters get shot, bla bla bla,. I am in South America now, the Russians can come ;)
