Makes sense... it would accomplish making me want to kill somebody, that's for sure.

I suppose it boils down to 'Do you love your country enough to fight for it?'

I personally, could not bring myself to join. I don't think I would achieve any sort of satisfaction from doing it. I also believe that any skills I have or will pick up can be utilised elsewhere. On the contrary, If any skills could land me a great job in connection with something like defence (like engineering parts for submarines) ect I probably would consider the possibility, indirectly.
But never would want to be on the front line.

Ok, I would like to hear you thoughts.

I served in the Air Force. I grew up poor as a church mouse. I would not have been able to go to college without their help. I used the GI bill, tuition assistance and Vet Grant.

As much as I love the US, I don't really feel like risking my life.

I want to do one of those training assort courses things

They look like fun, yet no I wouldn't.

Lmfao. We are badass. Maybe you wouldn't even need an army if your country would've stopped threating us.

Unless you live in Israel, or go back for a Holiday... I didn't think you'd have to join. Or are you called back for service?

I would never join the military. I wouldn't even make it through basic training tbh.
