The reason I distrust the military

[Sillyman]

Is I have so many friends who joined. These are the same people who said that if there were such a thing as real vampires they would break into the arsenal and steal missles.

 

[scylis]

don't worry. the military will brainwash... uh, i mean train that out of them.

I hope so, or we are all fucked. Last time I saw them they were taking hits from a stun gun to show how manly they were.

they'll shit their pants in the chem warfare training. either that or it will clear their sinuses.

I believe the word "invigorating" was what came up. We're doomed.

they've already been thru it?

 

[April]

It's because they're young males. No, I'm serious. Most of the stupid shit that gets done is done by the lower ranks.

Young single males on their own. Trouble in the making.

 

[Sillyman]

they've already been thru it?

Oh yeah. Been there and got the uniform.

I was actually depressed enough to consider joining myself at one time, except that heavy exertion makes blood spurt from my nose like a geyser.

I believe you. God, do I believe you.

 

[scylis]

yeah, and what do they do?

 

[Lost Cause]

your er....um...friends...

Specialities won't involve rocket propellants, or anything that has names like Plutonium, or Urainium? Please don't say they're Tankers, MLRS crews, or silo buddies!


*Not knocking you Bro, we all know it's the "other guy" that's nuts!

 

[Sillyman]

yeah, and what do they do?

Well one is a mechanic I believe, and I know at least one engineer. The others I have no idea.

I really really really hope not!

 

[April]

Let's see, at the last base, there were repeated fights in the dorms, usually by the same people who got arrested the night before. So because they couldn't fucking knock it off, all the higher ranks got lectured about making the boys behave.

Bounced checks are a problem. The silly little twits think it's no big deal to write a hot check. They find out quickly that it is a big deal.

The worst I've seen so far is several airmen getting shit faced, driving and totalling their car, then walking away from the wreck. Major, huge bad thing to do. Instant social outcast, no license for a year, reduction in rank, reduction in pay, have to pay damages for what you did, and various other things that are up to the base or squadron commander.

I'm sure there are other things that don't always get known about.

 

[April]

I'm sorry.

April the threadkiller strikes again.

 

[takingchances42]

I'm sorry.

April the threadkiller strikes again.

Damn!

I clicked here by mistake... I try to NEVER do that when I see that April replied.

If its any consolation, I'm an even bigger threadkiller than you are... just watch!

 

[Sillyman]

I am quite capable of killing my own threads, thank you.

 

[PepperminTrish]

The idea of a 'threadkiller' is a myth. There is no such creature. When you're the last to post to a thread and it falls off page one and onto wherever old threads go, it's because you were so eloquent and thought provoking that no one dared to even THINK about posting after you let alone actually doing it.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Or because there is slow board traffic. That's always a possibility.

I say society would be a lot more stable if we went back to the draft and gave those young men some shovels, some menial tasks, and a steady paycheck.

Too many kids living at home.

Liberate the moms and dads of America!

I barely trust them with a shovel. I'm not going into "trophy hunting" at the local cemetery.

 

[SINthysist]

Don't you mean digging up votes?

 

[Sillyman]

They aren't political.

Oh suuuuurrrrrreeee, just shatter my delusions of granduer!

I still think you put your point very eloquently anyway.
