Political Discourse: This is a discussion on US troops asking John Kerry for help. within the Discussion forums, part of the extensive steroid information at MESO-Rx; Wonder if those spelling errors were intentional....
Yeah they did that in response to Kerry popping off that, "if you don't get an education, you get stuck in Iraq."
Did you not hear about that?
Thats some funny shit there....
Lol i think his exact words to students were."Stay in school and get a degree or you might end up going to iraq." Lets face it the troops do have a pretty shitty job.They have benefits and might get a medal one day but other than that its a tough life.I know im not man enough to go something that needs that kind of dedication.If anything i think these guys should be getting paid a little bit more.

Yeah, they sometimes have a shitty job, but 1) they volunteered for it, and 2) Kerry wasnt talking about the working conditions. Kerry has a history of saying negative things about our military, so his most recent comment isnt much of a surprise.
He said that dummies go to Iraq. Real dummies went to Vietnam....Mr Kerry and his stellar 2.0 gpa from Yale.
He's right. I'd bet a good 95+% of the military are there because they are straight from HS and can't do anything else. Hell, I've been contemplating enlisting and that's because my education ain't doing shit, so I may as well kill people for a living. Sounds like fun to me.
Only that retarded asshole Pat Tillman. "Oh, but he died for his country. He did a great service for his country. He sacrificed himself for his country" Fuck Kennedy! What has my country ever did for me? THAT is the question!
Yeah, it's admirable that he felt compelled to uphold VIRTUES, but don't attribute that to him serving his country, which is corrupt and implies that he's our collective bitch.
Oh yeah, and Charlie Sheen dropped out of college to serve in Vietnam in "Platoon", too, so that's two people.
i personally have nothing against joining the military but it has a really shitty Pros and Cons lists according to most things we can do careerwise.
I mean lets say you want to become a doctor.The pros are great money usually and a career where you know you are helping people.On the con side med school isnt easy and the gigantic student loans most people would have to take are something to consider.
With these military guys only thing they really have going for them is their benefits and MAYBE they might get a medal oneday.On the downside REALLY crappy money,long trips away from home so you might as well forget about getting in a serious relationship or spending time with your family.Yeah the chance of coming back in a bodybag is kinda high too if you happen to be in Iraq.
Personally i really dont think its worth it.If anything the US government is seeing all time lows when it comes to recruiting.If they increased the pay a bit more people might consider joining.
Don't forget full pension after 20 years. So, at age 38, those who are smart enough to stay are making 40K to sit on their asses, if they choose. they also get preferential treatment AND seniority in ALL branches of civil service. All in all, not a bad gig.

Yes but many dont stay in it long enough to get all that.I have talked to a lot of former soldiers and for some reason most of them seem to say they wouldnt do it again if they had the chance.They usually say yes its good to do something for your country and proudly tell people about it but the initial enthusiam wears off pretty fast when you away from home all the time and lack of pussy etc etc.
