1. Family was poor. They couldn't afford college.

2. They were too stupid to go to college or land any high paying job. It's either join the service or be a janitor.


I don't believe everyone in the service is poor or stupid, but there's no way anyone can pretend that's not who they recruit a lot of. Also, there's plenty of rich people in this country that are allowed to ignore military service and never worry about it since their family is so wealthy.

When you ask the retarded young people/college crowd that support the war how many of them are willing to go to Iraq and fight themselves the majority of them will have a stupid, ashamed look on their face.

John Kerry may have made a good point for BACK IN THE FUCKING VIETNAM ERA. NOT FUCKING NOW.

I have FIVE FAMILY MEMBERS WITH Bachlors / Masters Degrees who are currently serving in the Military. John Kerry can fuck off [I'm not a bush supportor.. or a Republican.. .nor am I a Democrat"]

Not to mention, at least five kids who were in my graduating class in college are currently Piolet Canidates in the U.S. Airforce.

Seriously, John Kerry needs to shut the fuck up. He failed... he should go away.

You are aware that it was a botched joke, right? Meaning his intent wasn't to insult the intelligence of soldiers in Iraq, but President Bush's awesome plan of getting us stuck in a war over there. Sure, he's an idiot and his only redeeming value was that he was running against Bush, but there's no reason to go batshit insane over a faux pas.

FUCK THEM, seriously. They give our fucking protectors benefits, and damn fucking good ones. Why? Because they ARE WILLING TO PUT THEIR LIFE ON THE FUCKING LINE!! Can't deal with the fucking posibility? DON'T SIGN THE FUCKING PAPER!

This is why you join the Navy. Last I checked there wasn't another force in the waters of the world that could present a reasonable threat.

What the fuck are you talking about?

There is nothing cool about signing up, doing your 2-4 year term, getting out, and then getting a phone call to report for duty until they let you go.

Which they can do.

Which happens.

the problem is that republicans pretend they should win all seats now because Kerry fucked up a joke

somehow people against Kerry or dems are not pissed about how badly the republicans have treated the military for the past 6 years

Where the fuck did you ever get that from my post?

If you can't fucking deal with the fact that you MIGHT HAVE TO GO TO FUCKING WAR, don't join the military, ever. Simple as that.

Unless you're a poor ass person with no outlook for the future, like 50% of the people in iraq.

That said, i'd rather live in a box then give my life for some president that can't even run a business and mocks the reason for invading Iraq.

"Whops, no wmd there, maybee it's over here? Not there neither, heh heh heh."



I can't spell either, that's another reason!

Just a question, but if they have masters/bachlors degree's, why are they in the military?
