Maybe you'll understand a little better at that point in time...Originally Posted by Shibby
We do it so that people like you have the right to say you hate this country, and then don't move out. Not that you said that...but you get my picture. We do it so that you can live a safe life, every day, complaining about going in to work, or b*tching about school homework, and so kids can wake up with their biggest daily worry being "I hope my clothes are washed so I can look good for that new student." Or wonder "what to eat for dinner" instead of wondering if you'll even GET to eat that night. You say it's "our choice." Be happy YOU have that choice. Several countries REQUIRE you to serve for X amount of time. We serve so this country can offer others the option of never serving. There are so many examples I could give you, such as when you sign, what if they put you in comm or something, and you end up in the sandbox, and you get hit with an IED while en route to a rally point? You chose to join the navy, yes...but did you choose to go to that RP? Do you think those that have been KIA, POW, or MIA CHOSE to be where they were when whatever happened to them happened? Or do you think they just signed to do something for their country, and kinda got screwed out of life?
Again, youngin'...not saying you're a piece of sh*t, or that you suck or anything like that. I think it's great you're willing to put forth your time, and put your life on hold to serve. All I'm saying is I hope that once you've joined the service, you'll have a little better understanding.
That being said, again, I'm not wanting to fight, so that should be my last "negative" comment to you. I just hope you take a minute to think about it. Good luck, and best wishes in your duties.
