Don't do it you fools!
You have so much to live for!
You wouldn't volunteer to spend the next few years in prison so why would you volunteer to spend the next few years in a prison with more stress and the odd chance of death?
You'll be locked in with the worst of the worst! With violent thugs and alphachad supercunts and your boss is a raging fuck and all these fucks exist to turn you into a cunt or ruin your life!
Don't do it anons, you can just go to community college, become a forklift repairman or something, I don't know, but anything is better than the military.
If you've already signed up and you can't back out, suicide is a quick and easy escape plan, it costs you nothing and you can't be jailed for desertion afterwards.
Don't do it my friends, please live your lives or end them, but don't sign up for this torture chamber of a job.
You will pay for this. Your time is near.
You goddamned motherfucker
>joins the military
>can't handle it
>cries about it
I wish screening was tougher so wimps like you couldn't get in
Theres goes OP, being a faggot again. As per usual
>>Mfw it's not a couple of Hajis dug into buildings and tunnels
>>Mfw it's 100 Hajis just fucking thundering at us with all manner of weapons
the amazing irony here is that these would just be normal people had you not been invading their home.
So do I, especially when I was there wondering why the fuck they let me in.
Is there some perverse logic to not letting people leave even though it's pretty fucking obvious they shouldn't have been there in the first place?
Youre one sick son of a bitch. Take your internet points, you earned it
Tell your chain of command you're gonna off yourself and you'll probably get a general discharge at worst. Please do it and stop making us look bad just because you can't handle it.
i saw it coming, the m16 hasn't been used in a long time. the rifle our military has used the m4 since the early 90's
We dropped leaflets telling them to gtfo if they weren't terrorists and gave them time to do so. We assumed everyone left would be a hostile, and we were right
Put me in the screncap o prying ledditor
But if someone started dropping leaflets on your town and then rolled in a week later, would you have taken off or would you stay and defend your home?
Not for the Marines. We get the Army's hand-me-downs
I enjoyed reading this, here have an upboat
I don't get it. Who's Todd Howard?
>"If you stay we will assume you are hostile and you will die"
If you wanna be a retard and try to fight a professional military at that point its your own fucking fault
This was the best you have OP. Anything, and you chose this. Piss off man.
he's right though the military is for tryhard literal retard normies. i mean it's great if you don't think about how you're being used or how rank progression requires you to suck everyones dick and act like a spineless sycophant. nothing would piss me off more than seeing a true blue gung ho faggot trying his best to kiss ass and get in with snco's. but when i see those same snco's who think they're the top dog or whatever gravel at the feet of some colonel who just doesn't give a fuck it's honestly the best feeling. an affirmation of all the things i was suspecting. these people who are supposed to be in charge of me and expect "respect" are just sniveling maggots unworthy of the slightest acknowledgement.
Would you leave your life if some foreigner gave you a pamphlet?
Yeah but if there was no invasion in the first place there would be no Hajis
USA lost the war on Iraq desu
your fault for joining the npc brigade
yes. It was our generations Vietnam. Same goes for Afghanistan.
Yeah but they're heroes and you're a manchild. I wonder who is more valuable as a person. Hmmmm.
They ported skyrim to the amazon alexa and now they ported it to the middle east
americans have never experienced defending their home/their families home from an external threat. Due to this, they lack a conception of defending their home honorably and only would fight if they were confident in their victory.
>leave
>don't die
>maybe stay with relatives
>come back when things settle down
Or
>"I must defenu muh honoru from le infidels"
>Immediately get shot in the head
>family starves because you can't support them anymore
unironically the latter
>is just fine with some retard having complete control of every aspect of his life
>maybe even likes it
you are stupid. very very stupid.
but i guess every one has their place. every machine needs cogs.
sure buddy
origami
We switched to the m4 in like 2016
Sounds like an army guy fucked the girl who friendzoned you.
>Marines
>npc brigade
Lmao the Army is literally npc land by its fucking definition. You're literally just cannon fodder. Marines are at least slightly more badass cannon fodder
Not everything has to do with women and sex, incel.
And for you it never does, I'm guessing.
there is no honor in being used. i am not a manchild by your terms because i served 4 years, i am not a hero because i did nothing heroic. the military is a poisonous swamp full of awful psychopaths that will use you like a puppet and promise "honor" while it is them who project the idea of honor to the public, basically buying your life with an intangible currency that they generate themselves at no cost
It's literally just for 4 years. If you can't handle having a regimented lifestyle for just 4 years then you have no business being in military, but there's no point in bashing people who can
nothing badass about dying so some millionaire socialite four star can get a little recognition, npc
>talking about honor
>not a manchild
You can only pick one. Also you're incredibly naive
but I literally did. i'm glad i did it just for the benefits but i will always be disgusted by the type of people i met and i will try my hardest to sway people from joining.
you're the one that brought it up buddy
bottom line is if you enjoy being in the military there's almost certainly something wrong with you and maybe you should just stay there for everyone's sake.
happily married veteran friend.
faggot
also youre a faggot
I agree. The army is only for the plebbiest of npc's.
saw this coming
you don't simply get your gun to be white hot without the gas tube melting first
>Revolutionary War
>War of 1812 where Washington DC was literally burnt down by Canadians
Newcancer normalfaggot niggerpost. Fuck all the way off and originally kill yourself. This thread is jew tier
im not a burger, not a fucking clue what you mean with the punch line.
This is a quality thread OP.
Fucking Todd posters. I thought it was a real story
fuck you, you fucking faggot. you had me tearing up over here. i was actually gonna start crying like a pussy ass faggot fuck you
Put me in the reddit screencap. Also dont come back when youre done posting to reddit
So you're saying if China or Russia dropped leaflets on your town you'd leave because they told you to?
