Glirk Dient said:First off don't listen to these anti-military people. They are horribly mis informed...well 99.99% are.
If you want something technical and skills/college that will last you after your out then go air force.
If you want to be badass and kick a lot of butt then go marines.
If you want to do the above but don't want to have to put the effort forth, then go army, they still give you a gun whether or not you know how to use it.
If you want to be stuck on a ship and live in a 4x6 room for 6 months at a time then go navy.

Uriel said:You forgot to mention the reserves.
Glirk Dient said:They don't count. They aren't a branch of the military. They are an option of the above. Your either active or reserve. However the national gaurd we missed...and a few others. All of the rest are the girl scouts of the military.
Glirk Dient said:I can't even figure out where you got that from. I said your either active(ie. full time) or reserver(ie. one weekend a month, 2 weeks a year).
So I don't see how that has anything to do with respect and dying.
Uriel said:Short Recoil can bench c-130's.
dream431ca said:You also stated that the reserves don't count. To me that's giving them less respect than the full time militants. So it is in turn, a respect issue, even between branches of the military. The marines get more respect than soldiers, so I've heard from people in the military. I've even heard people say they rather die as a marine rather than a soldier. So it is a pretty big respect issue.
Uriel said:Short Recoil can bench c-130's.
Glirk Dient said:Yep...marine boot is the hardest, therefore among the hardest to get into. Hence they get a lot of respect for accomplishing that feat.
Active military members put a whole lot more and comprise up the majority of the military, hence they get more respect for putting more time in rather than one weekend a month just to get through college. More dedication means more respect here.
I guess it depends on the person, but I treat members of the military the same, just if someone tells me they are a marine that is a whole lot more impressive than hearing they are in the national gaurd reserves.
dream431ca said:Not to be a troll or to be offensive or anything, but if a reserve dies during duty, does he/she get the same respect as an active duty would if they would sacrifice themselves for their country?
EDIT: OOPS double post.
Glirk Dient said:I never said anything for dying. If they were killed on active duty its all the same. They most often were killed defending/fighting for their country. No matter what branch, active or reserves they died for their country.
Hectic Glenn said:Anyone...honorable and self-sacrificive(ok, maybe thats not a word) enough to want to join the military....
Should be allowed in.
CptStern said:fighting a war that was a lie, participating in the destruction of a nation and deaths of hundreds of thousands of iraqis is not something to be proud of
15357 said:Uh... what about that you fought for the nation's interests?
Synthos said:well, I'm Canadian.
Synthos said:That aside, the US is doing something good for the Iraqi's.
Synthos said:Saddam was no bunny.
Synthos said:A lot of the people in Iraq were happy that the US took him out. The insurgents aren't necessarily Iraqi's. I'd say most of them are from other countries.
You're a complete idiot.Hectic Glenn said:Anyone...DUMB enough to want to join the military....
Should be allowed in.
the nations interests? is making it more dangerous for americans in the interest of americans? Is fighting an unjust war based on lies in the nation's interests?
no none of this was out of american interests ..at least not ones that have to do with security ..if you're talking imperialism and the road to global domination through the military I agree ..it's in their interest, not the nation
