Isn't that about how much you're making?

Military doesn't get paid well, but they do get the real world experience, and yes, some people would rather die than go through life flipping burgers :dunno:

hmmm retirement with benefits by 45 ... yup sounds good to me.

just cause your in the military, doesnt mean your going to be on a frontline fighting for your life. there's tons of support positions that allow you to see no danger

So you want to come back a broken man because you had to kill a kid?

Or you want to see kids get blown up?

You're gonna have to bust your ass for the rest of your life if you are part of 90% of American society who hold 10% of wealth.

Give me a better reason than money for joining the Army and i'll change my stance
