When I said you have 'no idea what you're talking about,' that was pointed at your deduction of 'a shady business, shady people, extremely shady things.'

It's no more shady than the private sector. The horror stories will be the same everywhere you go.



Regretting the decision afterwards, while getting benefits? Yes, some do. Lost wives, lost everything, so many demons that they can't live normal, lost limbs, crap health, things the army tries very hard to NOT pay for like backs and knees, etc. As far as the benefits, they're part of the package for the worst rated job in the country. Tell me what kind of hourly wage it would take for most to do that job, unescapably, for a 6 year binding contract. That's whether we fight little boy screwing muslims and lose 10,000 soldiers, or fighting the Chinese losing 500,000. We don't have enough people willing to merely 'serve their country' in a digital world where it's sooo much easier to see that we don't have a population worthy of such self sacrifice.



So you can 'serve' in the mil, or not and just sit home popping out babies for the gov to pay for in every way; receiving the same benefits. Ya, that's a pretty sweet deal... ha. The mil benefits mostly only help those who are looking to progress in life after they leave the military.



I deleted most of this message. Didn't think you'd read it at what it was getting to.
