while america's decision making has been pretty fuckn weak over the last century or so
doesn't mean our soldiers should take the same amount of blame.
lets be honest, just by looking at the suicide rate, they probably don't need you to criticize them
they understand very well whats happening
i know plenty of people that were straightened out because of the military and are much better off because of it
and plenty that work at the stop n shop because they can't get any work after their service
regardless, we should support them anyway possible.
even if its a random day to celebrate them.
this is coming from some1 who hates celebrating anything, fuck birthdays and facebook for making me notice them 24/7
not all soldiers should take the blame ,no. but I'm not going to celebrate their "fighting for our freedom" which hasn't actually been a thing since the civil war.

youre making more than 70k for being an IT guy in the military lol
plus they pay for your schooling to learn it
i think that's my regret with the military, that I didn't wait until a position in the IT section was open
the thing is, in the military not only do you have a job to do, if you are even slightly interested in other things they have to be put on hold until you are out of the military or at least on inactive duty. not everyone wants to waste years of their life when we could be setting ourselves up for bigger and better things in the future. bigger than anything the military could ever offer us, at least.

please tell me what I should be doing to set myself up for an incredibly successful future
i joined for 1 contract because I didn't know what to do with my life and going to school for some random just for the sake of going to school didn't make sense, niether did sitting at home making minimum wage at some shit job with little to no useful progression
im all ears for ideas, i believe I can master anything.
well like I said, eight months after high school I was making $70k a year with just an IT certification. I'm not even going for a degree in any sort of field involving computers. my degree of choice is veterinary medicine. it's about making smart decisions. instead of being in the military you could be doing something else, even if you don't like it, and going to school and getting essential courses out of the way until you know what you want to do, like I did.
