How do you feel about the military?

[RavendorFoxx]

Serious topic. Think about it. I've gotten a lot of bad joojoo from other furs about the military because they think all members of the military are baby killing, village bombing, assholes.
That's only the marines. ninja
But seriously, even then they're following orders. They HAVE to, or the system wouldn't work. It's the corrupt leaders that make the decisions that causes chaos and ... stuff...

Also, some people join the military because it's their only chance to have any sort of life. They have no money. No job. Nothing.... So, there's two choices at that point. Join the military, or commit a crime to go life in jail and take up space and resources doing nothing... maybe telemarketing... Which would you prefer they did?
The military protects our freedoms, our rights, etc... You may not see it, and the military gets a bad rap for some of the mistakes they've made... But ultimately, where would we be if we were unprotected? And don't say there wouldn't be war, because it's not like everyone else would leave us alone for abolishing the military. Be real.

i'd don't particularly LIKE the military, but i see theneed for it. i have several family members who are, or have been, in the military, so at the same time it kinda makes me hate it, but makesme appreciate it. and that's not ever counting any outside factors. but yeah, i GET it, but i don't really LIKE it.

I don't have a problem with the military, most of them are good people, good souls who want to do their duty, and protect the ones they love. It's the corrupt mofos that send the orders that I hate, it's their fault anything bad happens. We all hope for peace but prepare for war, that's the way it is

signed The day that there is no war all soldiers will retire happily, of course, when that day comes we'll all be dead anyway. Peace can only be obtained through humanity's demise, kinda sad

I see the military as the ones who fight the wars. Generally better that trained professionals do such, so more than civilians.

People in the military, I see as people anywhere else. They're human beings, and are subject to be as nice or mean as humans can get. To say anything else is really difficult to support.


The question of war generally revolves around the willingness of humans to solve matters peacefully. Until humans can get along, there will be wars to fight.

Now you might want to provide which military you're talking about. I can guess the US military, or perhaps the Canadian, UK, or some other English speaking country, but I don't know.

I have no issue with the military. I do have an issue however with how it is being used and how it is being outfitted with complete crap.

I don't have time to get into now though. In the end though I tend to feel, you don't have to support what cause they are made to fight but at least you can support the individuals.

HOLY FREAKING CRAPP!!! I love your siggy!!!!


Anyway, I agree with this. I do not support the military in anyway, but I will not try to argue f it's useful or not. I'm too sleepy to thing anymore...I'll fix this later =3= zzzzzzZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZzzzzzzzz

I was a military brat. I got to travel the world and see all kinds of places that most people want to take a vacation to. However that meant I never had a stable environment to establish "roots". I have a brother in the Air force as well. I would never want to join the military but I support and Believe in the men and women who serve in our armed forces  

[TsukuyomiYue]

That sounds interesting! I write myself, so I know how it is when get writer's itch.lol I hope it works out for you! 4laugh  

[Fennec Dreamer]

I don't mind the millitary. My dad was in the navy and he has a well paying job at tinker afb here ^^  

[Shard Of Ronin]

The military. . .

Well, it's a complicated question. I support the military, but I am endlessly vexed by the way they're being treated. These people are DYING for us, a little respect would be nice? Noooo, war is evil blah blah blah.

It's people like that that make me wish I was the kind of person who'd pass legislation on which people are legally entitled to an opinion. Unfortunately I'm not, as easy as that would make things.

Yeah, sensitive subject. sweatdrop  

[Hexah]

Ya I don't have a problem with the Military but i'm never gunna join up..it's not the whole getting sent to iraq or w/e it's just the whole idea of boot camp i just don't like that lol but thats just me. XD  

[Sanguvixen]

I would like to take the time to say that I feel that many paper pushers in the military are woefully incompetent. My brother needs to be seen by a doctor "NOW" due to his fractured wrist that could lead to something very bad very soon, but the people in charge of the pushing the papers for discharge take their sweet merry time even though how fast they process him out could be the difference between having two functional hands, or one that is functional and one that...isn't.  

[Cortana_Seramiphia]

Eh I don't mind the military per say.... I just hate it when anyone I know wants to join to be on the front lines/ in actual battles gonk . Thankfully my best friend never joined...

Death is a part of life, im going to join, and if i die, i die. I'd rather die by a bullet than go out the same way i came in, wearin a diaper getting spoon fed.

I've been wanting to join since i was 6. As for killing, its me or them, and they're in the same position so they're gonna try and do it first. Besides, military pays for college, health care, half off on dental, retirement plan, funeral service, living space, food (all three meals a day). Going to Iraq might be fun... i played in the sandbox when i was a kid so, its not going to be much different, only people are shooting at me.

NO OFFENCE but the first thing i thought when i saw this topic was: "aw god, HIPPIES!!!!!! X.X" Both my dad and my step-dad went, of course i never asked how it was, but eh, im already freakin weird, furry, raver, into necrophilia. O.e I see war movies, and see the whole dramatic shell-shock scene, and i want to be in it, don't know why.
