should men be allowed to serve in the military?

well someone made a topic about women serving in the army, which leads me to believe that some women want to be as stupid as some men...

let's face it, while our leaders like to wrap themselves in flags and spew "patriotic" gibberish until they're blue in the face, the truth is that soldiers never fight for their country, but merely for a political agenda and corporate interests.

so should men serve in the military, or should only spineless, brainless, easily influenced meatsacks be allowed to? the way it is now, i mean?

The other thread was women serving in the context of special military operations. Not merely conventional military.

The Revolutionary War, Civil War and World War II are all examples in which soldiers fought for their country IMO.
 
The military is also a good place to learn discipline, leadership skills and technical skills. It gives people opportunities. In the absence of war, the military does help people, both domestically and internationally, such as after natural disasters.
 
I dont support some our goverments self interests in sending the armed forces into harms way. I do belive in the people that serve their country in duty and honor. They do not get to pick and choose where they are sent, but I always hope for safe passage and return back to their families & friends.

This country has a proud history and its freedom was laid by the people that gave thier lives or valiantly gave a part themselves to defend others and our country.

I know it sounds canned, but I do belive it!

Wow that is pretty biased, and you just mentioning the Army kind of shows your ignorance to the entire military services. Then again I'm probably pretty biased as I've been in the Marine Corps the past few years.
 
The Military is different. Serving in the war, is not what you could really call. serving in the military. Not exactly, the same. If you already have the training. Or are certified when you take the test before you go into the army. So see if you can. If you place in a good score. Once you get there. If your able to move around and can do different things. You don't have to go through as much training. I think woman, have the same right as men. Men should be able to Server as well as woman. Saying that there are only duchbags serving in the war is just as good as a rumor. Because The war, or military. Its simple over seas. Your up against a country who has the same potential as us Without as much exposure. Its only different in the way that we are America. Since we have athletes over here. They don't, they have soldiers. They want to win this war. Its vonerability if anything. Its not any differnt then being here. I think people should be able to serve in the Military but not everyone should be able to serve in the war.

What sparked the most conflict is. Back of March of 06 or April, An American Soldier broken into an Iraqi household and raped a little girl and her mother. That made a lot of enemies. And it sparked a lot of hate and angry towards American. They thought were were the lowest pieces of dirt on the planet. And they had every right to. As the war progressed. We sent over Italian allies? as they kept taking hostages and killing reporters? We'll How I saw it was. There was a country who had finally had enough. They would ambush everything. America was going to lose the war. By being out numbered by atleast a hundred to one. If not more. My name is Marvin and I know this from being there and watching it on television. Its not funny at all, and good men and woman have died because others let them down. People don't care if you die. Or get killed. They look out for themselves. That is the reason most people commit sucicide. In thought of being out numbered. Surrounded and left alone. You can't tell anything? Because in fact, most Americans are out of shape. Most soldiers are out of shape. Its a crisis, that we shouldn't have to deal with. Most indivisuals, cannot survive on their own. That is how we have lost so many battles. Espionage is still the key to this war. Although, it has calmed down once the culprets have figured out they can't control everyones destiny. It wouldnt take a lot for us to still lose this war. I feel america is based around communisum. Yet we still have people who are good people. Then then are people who think everything should be done according to standards. Yet, they the risk the lives of other people who must carry out orders by someone who doesn't have a complete understanding.

I served in the Army near the end of the Cold War--1986 to 1989. It was a great time to be in the military--never saw combat and partied my ass off. I was in a helicopter unit and was treated well by most of my superiors. A typical work week was M-F, 8 to 4:30. I had more free time there than I've ever had working in the civilian world. The pay wasn't great, but I didn't have to pay for housing, groceries, medical or dental care. Got my three squares a day in the mess hall, didn't have to cook or wash dishes. On the whole, it was a good experience. I was pretty fortunate.

I'm British. They want me to join to fight al-quaeda, they can fuck off. I'm not fighting for the rich boys and killing poor brown kids trying to defend their own country. We go to war with china, I'm right there on the front line, even though they outnumber us by a stupid amount. Somebody must stand up to the dlagon.
Yes, dlagon. ban me for racialism if u want.

Of course men should be allowed in the army. You don't want a army full of boys. You know which country has an army full of boys? France.

True, I know because I'm in the military.
 
No, absolutely not.

In the worlds of possibly the greatest military commander to ever shine his shoes, salute his flag and shoot a Chinaman in the face:

"The wars of the future will not be fought on the battlefield or at sea. They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall mountain. In either case, most of the actual fighting will be done by small robots. And as you go forth today remember always your duty is clear: To build and maintain those robots."

Damn right.

*salutes*
 
There is a need for the military. It has training and jobs which are valuable to society.

There is no need for war. :nono:

I think war is the only way for America to cling to her "Most Powerful Nation" label.
 
^
2 years of community service or military service :yesyes:

The military is needed to keep the Tea Baggers in their place. :yesyes:

Isn't that a bit of perverse irony--the military beating down the Tea Party :rofl:

That label is an illusion.

it should be mandatory for all males in the States to serve minimim of a year.

It should be mandatory for all males of every country to do a years national service.
This year would teach them self disciple (douches and guys who listen to rap and get in the face of anyone who doesn't wanna fight but avoid the guys who could kick the shit out of them will dissapear), combat the growing levels of world obesity and if properly implemented, prevent countries waging illegal wars because no politician would sacrifice his kid in an illegal war.
There are other benefits too. For example you could have them build houses which would train them for the rebuilding a defeated country scenario and build houses that they could then live in when they left the military, keeping property costs within reach of the poor and reducing the numbers of parasitical landlords and bailiffs.
