Don?t take proffered advice without a critical analysis. 90% of all advice is intended to benefit the proponent, not the recipient. Actually, the number is probably closer to 97%, but I don?t want to come off as cynical.
…
Remember, 97% of all advice is worthless. Take what you can use, and trash the rest.

Ironically, assuming these two points are worthy, they cover 6.7% of the proffered advice above…
Since I’m a proud former US Navy Submariner and a conservative republican allow me to point out that point number 30 is very applicable to points 5 and 7 and then let me refer you to point 14.

I wish I knew where that guy got the statistics about men getting raped more then women, that would be a great statistic to have for some of my term papers for my criminal justice classes.
Barney - 48.2% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

As I got stronger it from bench to press to curl, hahahahaha.
As a former Marine, take it from me. Don?t join the military, unless you want to risk getting your balls blown off to secure other people?s economic or political interests.
I couldn’t have said it better myself. It is funny how many people think they are dying for their country. When really it is just to make a very select few people a large amount of money.

Come on, that’s been played out. 99% of all military folks get out/retire without even getting close to combat. Now, throw in unequalled leadership training, 100% tuition assistance (go to college for free while on active duty), G.I. Bill (free money for college after service),
FREE medical and dental and housing for you and your family, job skills, steady paycheck every two weeks, yearly pay increases, responsibility early on, 30 days paid leave every year, retire after only 20 years with 50% base pay for the rest of your life…and so on, the military isn’t such a bad deal.

And The Smed was a tool (of the leftists)…This was back in the days before said ideology was proven as bankrupt, when Joe Stalin was put forth as a “humanitarian” and his genocidal actions covered up,(no different than his future one balled paperhangin’ Buddy he split Poland with)…I doubt Smed would have approved had he known what WW2 would leave us with…Your argument is sound, but out of context, is not logical…
