I use to believe that people wasn't that stupid and wouldn't join the war just like getting a Starbucks job. I mean, back in the days you would be forced to fight because you had to "defend" your country but now people go and learn how to kill and destroy just to get health care, "education", and probably a pension for when they come back, if they do... just because they probably don't have any faith in them or the world that surrounds them...
I think that all that people are just selfish because they want to go "the easy way", not saying that the training or their life's in the army are relaxed, but, happy and intelligent people probably understand what i'm talking about, humans have passions and probably have better things to do and be interested for (more spiritually, mentally demanding stuff like art, politics, ecology, music, Philosophy and million more things) than just go and learn how to drive a tank through a village in iraq.
Doing a "career" in the army is, again, selfish, because you consider that learning to kill people is just alright and that people are insignificant.
It just doesn't have any sense to see all that people defending the war machine...because their parents where in war? because their boyfriends or brothers are in war??? nazis also where humans and suffered whenever their soldiers would die, but still nazis killed thousands of innocent people, and probably thousands of the nazi soldiers where after something morally less retrograde than today army...my question is...why are they so retarded???

I'm sorry if i'm being rude to the soldiers and sailors, etc etc.
The world would be better off without them! and the government wouldn't take for granted that they can make us do whatever they want.
Thanks for the two first answers. I truly appreciate the fact that they're both really clever and appropriate, i know i came across like a 15 years old but when you read about all these youngsters who join the army because they want some benefits, it just makes me really angry and sad for our world.
I still believe that humanity is a conservationist being and that we could learn and educate people not to "defend" or "attack" the rest of the nations, i know that historically that makes no sense,but the future hasn't been written and intelligence should prevail over brute force and ignorance.

I'm really surprised to read that people who is or have been in the army probably never killed anyone, but the army is still a war machine and all soldiers are, in a some way, killing people.

Also, the fact that war is a huge business and that people like George W Bush, and bin laden own part of the Carlyle group makes profit of it is one of the major reasons why i don't believe in war
Hello USNS of course i wouldn't adress my question in person to people like you!
thanks!
Hello summer mary, what freedom are you talking about? yes, you probably have a free dentist to which you can go every day if you want, but are you really free? how can you consider your self free when the money you pay as taxes go to nonsense more than defending whatsoever? that's not freedom! can you really do what you ever wanted to do? i supose not, otherwise you probably don't have many expectations of what life is! why do you have to under-estimate humanity and think that if your husband doesn't go to work as a chef for soldiers iran is gonna nuke the whole planet?
It is thanks to people like you that i believe soldiers are not a good choice for "taking care of us"

Thanks for your valuable piece of s h i t answer
