Nevermind the money, It’s just a nice perk.
You’re the one who a couple of post earlier said “I WANT to fight in it…” Like you where chomping at the bit to go there and fight in that war. Now that someone points out a possible way you could do so, it turns out you don’t really want to go?
I am so surprised.

No, I don’t want to be with guys who’re there to make a buck. That’s their primary motivation (IMO). I want to make the world a better place. Sounds pretty corny, huh?

You’d also have the honor of defending the only country founded upon Reason, Logic, and Christian Principles. How cool is that!! (It’d also beat some of that liberalism out of those guys who need it, and you know who you are

Yeah, I should leave my family, sell my house and cars (because my wife stays home to take care of our son and she has no income to pay for these things) and join the Marines. She might be able to move in with her parents who are already strapped paying for an appartment for her divoced sister with 2 kids.
My grandfather was a Marine in WWII and told me he would kick my ass if I ever joined the armed forces. He told me it would be a waste of my life to join.
I listened to him and went to college out of high school.
Nevermind about the shoe picture. This thread tops that hands down.

There are much easier ways to make a buck. I’d wager a lot of mercenaries are mercenaries because, like you, they can’t be part of the regular forces. Love of the job and all that.
But we understand that you’re looking for excuses. Hell, if the Army did change it’s admission criterias and allow you to join, I’m sure they’d be some other minor problem that’d keep you home.
Knowing the kind of “better world” you envision, it sounds more scary than corny.

Oohh, my bet is Headhunter has never seen a battlefield before in his life.
When I was younger I always wanted to go into the military. My grandfather, a purple heart winner of the World War II generation, told me I was an idiot, and that if there was another war he’d be the last in line.
I didn’t believe him until I saw Saving Private Ryan.
[i]"If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie; Dulce et Decorum est
Pro patria mori.[/i]

Cheers!
BOOYAH!!
Yeah, sorry to concur with you irish (might harm your cred on this topic) but reading Owen and Sassoon et al, in poetry class, made me not want to fight in some fucking war. If you really want a war, anyone, you could always smash a bottle over a popular girls head in a club one night, or smack a child that isn’t yours, or key some tough guys car bonnet etc.
Ireally love training, but the idea of seeking conflict that isn’t directly yours, is so perverse to me.
Kudos to those who have been or are in the Military. No Kudos to the armchair assasins. I was pretty lucky to serve in the Polish army when we got to train with the British, a few years earlier and it would have been the Soviet’s ! Not that I’m saying there is anything necessarily wrong with that.

Actually, you’re ridiculing me is revealing your own cowardice. You’ve never stooped to this (low) level before — very revealing. You know others are fighting and dying protecting you and so you ridicule those who WANT to fight. Your posts are usually pretty cynical, but this stuff is revealing your ‘inner self’.
So, continue to hide out in your country while real men from a manly country fight and die — all so you can ridicule us and whack off to internet porn (probably gay porn at that).

I know about Blackwater and other merc organisations. They are looking for guys who are already trained, esp in Spec Ops (Seal team 6 and so forth). That’s why I started the thread — go get the training while you’re young, dummy, or you have to sit back and watch others defend you — AND IT SUCKS! Think about what you write before proceeding to do so.
Of course, that may indicate that you can’t be trained properly. Ah, well, stay home.

Ouch. I seem to have hit a nerve there.
I’m not ridiculing those who fight. I’m ridiculing those who claim they’d run down there and fight, IF ONLY THE ARMY WOULD HAVE THEM. That’s why I pointed out the obvious solution of joining a mercenary company. And while they probably prefer someone with training and previous combat experience, it’s not like getting that training is an impossible task, now, is it?
As the saying goes, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” But when we offer you a way, your will evaporates.
That, I find ridiculous.
But hey, what have you got to lose? Why don’t you fill out the Blackwater form previously offered? Maybe you won’t get a refusal, you might be surprised and get your wish.
No? Your scrotum pulls in your balls just thinking about it? A pity.
A manly country? What are you, Arnold’s speech writer or something?
Canada still has troops in Afghanistan (Remember? That other war you started but didn’t finish… Ol’ GWB has even hinted that he’d like us to take over and run the thing.) Just because we skipped Iraq doesn’t mean we won’t go into war when we feel it is justified. We skipped Vietnam too.
Who’s ridiculing men in service here?
Your piercing wit has skewered my human dignity beyond comprehension. I now realize what a mollusk I really am. I slither away, wounded to my core; leaving behind a trail of bitter tears and sperm.

You dumb fucking cunt:
How often are you going to post this same rah-rah thread and cry about how you can’t fight in a manly manly war?
http://www.T-Nation.com/readTopic.do?id=703503&pageNo=0
I see you are “sending” things to people over there. Awwww. I hope you don’t throw your back out going to the post office, or get a blister on your tongue licking stamps.
How about this, you fucking douchebag? If you love war so much, how about following up with the Disabled American Vets, like you promised last time you posted this gung-ho bullshit.
Here’s what I wrote last time:
[i]Here’s a webpage from the Disabled American Veterans association, seeking volunteers to help older veterans and those returning from Iraq. Along with the opening paragraphs from the webpage that talk about how many of them have lost the travel benefits that used to allow them to travel back and forth to the hospitals for physical therapy.
So stop whining and start helping. [/i]
http://www.dav.org/...ortunities.html
[i][b]"Thousands of disabled vets face real needs that government programs can’t meet. Responding are volunteers from the DAV and its Auxiliary - joined by growing numbers of other Americans.
Travel benefit cuts left many vets with no way to get to Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical facilities for needed treatment. They’re men and women who answered our country’s call in times of war. Many lost limbs, sight, hearing, or good health.
They may live a great distance from a VA hospital, and because so many exist on small fixed incomes, they find that the cost of transportation to a VA hospital is just too high. They’re left with two choices. They could go without the treatment they need, or skimp on food or other necessities to pay for transportation.
Vets disabled in our nation’s service should never face such dire options. So DAV and Auxiliary volunteers responded, driving vets to and from VA hospitals and clinics. Other grateful Americans are helping too. It’s all part of the DAV Transportation Network, administered by DAV Hospital Service Coordinators (HSCs) at the VA’s 172 medical centers. The DAV has also donated vans, where needed, to make the program work."[/i][/b]

Yet, apparently, you are a fucking hypocritical douche who hasn’t followed up, but still feels the need to get out his pom poms and lecture others about how they should be out dying in a war you know fuck-all about.
Kindly go fuck yourself, you self-congratulatory armchair asswipe.
