Not weapons related.

Yes, all of them

Theres literally a fucking military enlistment thread its weapons related you fucking retard

Pretty much anything you do will be to benefit Israel.

>Shit pay
>Unless you're a POG you'll have no post-military skills that will matter unless you intend to become a cop
>US Military is currently caught up in a corrupt military industrial complex who plays geopolitics for the benefit of Israel and corporations
>Military life can really just outright suck
>You're often surrounded by low IQ retard NPC tier people
>The uniforms are gay
>The hair cut is gay
>Etc

Patriotism: you will learn pretty rapidly that it's worth jack. Oh be motivated, but if you scream, "Murica!" at every chance you will be known as a Toolbag, not a motivated, HSLD soldier.

Love of Weapons/Tactics/Military History: Largely the same as above, and add to it that the vast, vast, VAST majority of your career will spent away from firearms and tactical equipment. This is doubly true for any non-11B MoS's (or their equivalent in other branches). You'll spend WAY more time on a post cleaning engines, seats, and taking equipment in and out of the trucks than you will at the range. That doesn't mean you *never* get to play with guns, but I'd say, at best, out of theater it will be 10% of your total, 24 Hour day/7 Day week, time.

Family History: Bad for similar reasons above but unless your last name is Patton, MacArthur, Eisenhower, Lee, Sherman, Casey, or Puller, 99.99% of all soldiers/marines will have never heard of you and will give litterally 0 shits. This can be made worse when new boots try to rest on the laurels of their family members. Nothing gets you branded as a shit stain faster than starting a sentence with, "My [insert familial relation] was in Special Forces/Ranger Bat./MFR/Delta/ect."
Also, you're own family who were in the military will NEVER respect your accomplishments because the old corps/old army always had it harder.

Desire to be Special Forces: If you are joining the army/Marines to specifically seek this out, you are the last person who ever will get to do it. Special Forces is like the MLB: you don't call them, they call you. Most guys I know who I can confirm made it through Selection were recruited straight out of High School or (more often) College as most SF's have a college degree, usually in History, a language, or some sort of PoliSci degree.

Having the attitude that there's Infantry, and everything else: Speaking as a former 11B, then 11A, this attitude will put a huge breaks on your career.

absolutely
if you're not gonna make a career out of it, you could probably do better going to community college then getting a non-meme degree while working or pick up a trade.
The GI Bill is neat but at the end of the day you're trading years you won't get back doing stupid bullshit under people who've never read anything longer than a Mountain Dew can. you better have some reason for joining like "I wanna drop bombs on people and civilian life don't let me do that"

Brainwashing

live around smelly minorities.
