OMG. Unbelievable.

Does not one who enlists in the military demonstrate his disregard for
his own life and those whom he intends to kill?

You left out the adjective 'truthful.'

Does not one who enlists in the military demonstrate his disregard for
his own life and those whom he intends to kill?


Or it shows a high regards for others, even to be willling to
make the ultimate sacrfice to protect the life and freedom
of others.

Those two notions are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

competing options.


Well, first off, I don't think it's a problem, since I don't meet that
many people with an intense desire to kill. Do you?

Secondly, the military is not the best choice for a killer. Remember,
support personnel are (or at least, used to be) 90% of the force. So
you only have about a 10% chance of being in a military specialty that
spends much time shooting. And, excepting recent events, wars are
rare.

The best career for a killer? As a criminal, of course. That's how
such people end up in real life.

But not as common as you imply.

In a room full of guys with guns, who have to depend on each other, I
can't imagine much that would be scarier than someone who sits alone
mumbling "Kill, kill, kill".


But they wouldn't take him cuz he's a litterbug

No. That's the perspective of a civilian who's never served, and thus
has no idea who the (U.S.) military is really composed of.


But I just installed 'Call to Duty 3'. It's just like the real thing!!!!




Damn now I need a new keyboard.

Administration officers confiscated the pies from passengers and
distributed them to troops traveling during the holiday weekend.

If the pies were considered too dangerous to bring aboard airline
flights, how could it have been safe to distribute the pies to our armed
forces?


The armed forces have publicly demonstrated their disregard for human
life, even there own.



WHA HAHAHAHAHHAHA!!! A riot.

Jay, either I don't get that, or you made a political comment. ;)

Maybe it had something to do with me flying to Texas?
