PaveHammer"]and there are not enough of us teens out there who have aspirations, hell even a willingness, to join the military and serve this nation

oh you've got to be kidding me. join the military? do you realize how stupid of an idea that is?

this country is going to hell with bush at the helm. we have no place invading and occpupying iraq and afghanistan, and everyone knows it. you would have to kill me before you sent me out onto the field of battle, and i'd die either way, but at least that way i wouldn't have to do something i'm against.


and on a brighter note, i'd like to think i'm working towards making a difference in my future... i'm part of the harker robotics team, and we work on stuff for the FIRST Robotics Competition, which is ubercool

Thank you for proving my point Aonic

On a somewhate related note I feel I help my friends out a lot but they rarely help me.

[rambling]I personally would not join the US army.  I have better thing to do with my life.  If there was a major threat to my country I would join.  Otherwise, I'm better of doing someting like mechanical engineering.    BTW just because you are not in the Armed Forces does not mean you are not assiting in some way.  The armed forces are only the tip of the iceberg that is any war machine.[endramble]

sorry, i didn't see a point in your original post, but since i proved it, good on ya

anyway, what i meant was that i think the current laws such as the "patriot" act are opressive and violate the constitution that our country is founded on. furthermore, the current administration, although has the right to go to war, has no proof that iraq has nukes, and therefore has no JUSTIFICATION to go to war, which means that, unless they give me a DAMNED good reason, i'm not gonna go out there and kill an iraqi to "serve my country."

and lack of aspirations? i don't think you've got the complete story. i've had aspirations since i was about 6 to "serve my country," but not on a field of battle. i want to serve the US for peaceful purposes, research and development of new space probes, maybe even becoming an astronaut.

if you want war, go right ahead, but i'll serve my country my own way, thankyouverymuch.

Oh, good.  I was worried you were a hippie.    @ hippies

-Ok, now that we have that out of the way:

But, I'm glad to see that our opinions of politicians are equally disdainful.  But I've always wanted to be a soldier, I'm not just jumping on this iraq thing.  And if when I become one my orders send my to Iraq, I'll do my duty.

Just don't put me out of a job, mkay?

the Air force on the other hand...

...sucks

You wish fish boy.

oh cool!

1072 here... one of the new ones... and we're so screwed... week 4, and no bot. (well, we've got 2 halves, but in this case, .5+.5 doesn't equal 1 )
