My dude I've been in and out and back in the military since I was 17. As long as you have no allusions that your fighting for the greater good your fine. My reason like most black men who join the military was for monetary reasons not patriotism. I was poor in the country with no prospects for a future and a teenage father. Now 15 years and 3 more kids later I'm trying to get that retirement check nah mean. You take orders no matter who you work for, plus I make way more money than if I would have continued to work in a factory. At the end of the day I can't rap, I sucked at sports, and everybody can't be the niño brown so shit the way I look at I didn't have a lot of choices.

No you don't, you MIGHT make just as much, but you have 24 hour job.....I don't think yall understand that....nigga can't even take a personal sick day...

True you can't technically take a sick day, but I tell you it's not like that I know plenty of soldiers who take sick days at least once a week. If you know the system you can make it happen. At the same time you get at least one 4 day a month and 30 days leave a year. Not to sound like a recruiter or anything like that, it's a 24 hour job yes but you can't get fired. Like I said you gotta do what's best for you. I have 4 degrees and working on my masters, but I also have 4 kids so I gotta do what's best for them. I tried working in a factory and standing on the block neither one of them paid that well. So it is what it what is the reality is everybody gotta have there on hustle.

im laughing at you niggas talking shit.

you work for fortune 500 companies, retailers and fast food companies, buy electronics and the like...

yet wanna get a big heart about the military.

i love how you most likely talking that shit on a device powered by rare earth metals...

guess you give a shit until it effect your gotdamn creature comforts.

yes stand upon your soapbox and preach to me about atrocities while you wear your addidas, nikes and reeboks.

yall the worst kinds of hipsters.

the grossly uneducated kind.

PREACH!

As for me. I know the government commits atrocities and/or supports those who do. I JUST DONT GIVE A FUCK. The people they bomb dont give a shit about my black ass. So FUCK UM.

I buy the shit out of NIKES. I dont give a shit about those fuckin kids. If it was our black kids they wouldn't give a fuck. How many Chinese went down to the Sudan to stop the blood diamond trade? I doubt when an Asian sees a black man getting his ass beat by a cop on the news it breaks their heart.

And BTW...saying you joined "to fight for your country" will get your ass laughed out the room by service members. Aint too many brainwashed people in the military brehs. Dont nobody tear up when they see the flag blowing in the wind like a lot of yall seem to think.

I wouldn't join my country's army coz the wars these niggas fight aren't about freedom or protection, they're about bullshit. Bullshit that I find morally wrong.

If I'm at work and my boss asks me to do something (which is what he would do, 'ask') that I feel uncomfortable with, I'd say, 'Liam, I don't feel comfortable with that' to which he'd respond by either gettin' someone else to do it or insistin' that I do it. If he insists, I'd either do whatever it is or I'd quit. Not that I have an issue takin' 'orders', I don't. I do have an issue with bad orders, though.

Like if I was in the army and these niggas told me I was goin' to the Falklands to fight, I'd say, 'fam, you want me to go kill niggas and get possibly killed myself for a spec of land a 1000 miles away that you claim is yours?'

A lot of assumptions and misinformation about the military in here. I can't speak for everyone else's experience but my four years of service as a young man was good. Signed up at 17, got out at 21, had some great experiences and networked well in between that time, got out and went to school on my G.I. Bill, by age 23 I was making six figures a year without finishing my degree, years later I'm still averaging six figures a year. I went in with a plan and followed through and ultimately reached a point to where I achieved financial independence by the time I turned 27. That means my passive income and assists exceed my expenses and monthly income from when I had an employer. It also put me in a better position to help others. I'm a black man from the inner city and my current situation wouldn't have been possible if I hadn't served in the military as a young man and take a few lawful orders. It's no different than any other employment agreement, you know what you're signing up before you sign that dotted line and, you agree and sign in exchange for the benefits. Military culture has it's flaws but there's a method to it's madness, there's a reason why militaries have such a disciplined and controlled culture. The order is necessary. It's an organization that you wouldn't want to be ran like a McDonalds or Cotscos, even gangs operate under similar principles, Also, you have to remember that everyone's path is different, people join for different reasons, not everyone is wired to follow the same life path as you. It takes different types of people to make the world go round.

These jihads are cut from a different cloth of insanity, they believe if they blow themselves up they getting 21 virgins in the afterlife, who the fuck want to go up against that?!

Is it really insane? How is it any more 'insane' than any other religious belief about the afterlife?
 
Look its simple just like joining a gang, ppl b looking for acceptance, bottom line is this country is racist, this country views b lack men as dispensable, I'm not carrying out no orders from them nihgas fam, they really want me dead
 
Yea fuck y'all, I'm getting my tuition assistance soon, that's college paid for by my unit, then I still have my g.i bill once I get out. I get one free surgery about to get that lasik. Me and my wife are getting a 3 bedroom home for 950 and That's paid for by the army. No other job is looking out for it's employees like that
