You get shipped to Iraq to fight for a war that isn't called for.

Like thousands of other people that are of average or below average income levels. wonder why you never see rich peoples kids in the frontline.

because they aren't dumb enough to join the marines

truth spoken.

The sheer idiocy expressed in this thread is simply astounding. Do you *really* think rich kids are the ones doing the fighting in Iraq or any other conflict in human history? Intelligence has *nothing* to do with this. It's all a matter of opportunities. Rich kids have all the opportunities in the world, thus negating the need to join the military just to make it ahead in life. Kids from the ghetto don't have the same opportunities, so are more likely to join the military.

i didn't say military, i said marines... Joining the marines is like asking to be killed.

You are retarded. More Army personel has been killed in Iraq than Marines, you check out any war and see how many Marines die compared to any other service. We are the best trained force in the world (disregarding Seals and Delta).

although people don't think the Coast Guard is the MILITARY .. sign up for the Coast Guard. Be on a boat, visit places, and they still pay for your tuition.

a local recruiter just contacted me to convince me to join the army as reservist. i m still thinking about it. i am in college now, and pretty poor to afford good 4 year universities in the next few years. people said te army can help pay a part of the tuition...
do you think it is a good idea to follow that path? what are the in-the-real-world advantages/disadvantages that those who have been in the army (as reservists or other kinds) have experienced?

thanks alot for your input
