if you were 29 yrs old, would you join the military?

I'm thinking about it.

I have a thing about being shot at. I wouldn't do it.

the most ignorant excuse of all...

out of all the careers in the military, only about 5-10% of them are combat related
@wildbill83 yea people instantly get scared without knowing the statistics. it's a job.
@wildbill83 All soldiers are riflemen first. Everyone in a deployment is in harm's way. From logistics specialists to trauma surgeons to signal corps specialists.
@blackychanx It is a job. A very dangerous job.

lol... another ignorant pacifist trying to lecture someone who actually did serve, how the military works... pathetic
@quitwhendone hey man we can get shot walking down the street. life's tough either way.
@blackychanx You are absolutely right.

@blackychanx exactly; statistically speaking, a person is about 1000 times more likely to choke on a cheeseburger or die in a car than be killed in a war...
@wildbill83 I am neither ignorant nor a pacifist. Nor am I "lecturing" you. And, yes, I do know how the military works.

6 weeks of basic doesn't make you a "rifleman"...🙄

about as stupid as claiming playing a video game makes you a pilot...
@wildbill83 I would suggest to you that you refrain from using words like "ignorant" and "stupid" when chatting with fellow SW users, especially me. This is the end of my discussion with you. Hope you have a great evening.

@quitwhendone Then I suggest you refrain from being a moron when arguing things you know nothing about...
@wildbill83 You do realize you are an arrogant idiot, don't you?
