broke/ unemployed and out of options so i signed up for the military.

Quote from BSAM:

Hold up Joe. It ain't just Democrats. It was Little George Bush* who started this path of destruction. The Clinton era was good economic times. Don't believe everything you hear on Fox News.

I'm not saying Democrats don't suck; I'm just sayin'.....

(*Of course Little George Bush wasn't a real Republican, but then neither are most of those others.)

Clinton Era was only good times because it was gridlocked after 1994 and he was much more pragmatic than Maobama. It had nothing to do with Democratic ideology.

Yes, George W. and the neo-con spenders started some of this, but Obama's spending and econ destruction path is going way above and beyond.

Fox is the only lamestream channel that will call Obama on anything, so that's why they get all the hate.
 
Quote from baggerlord:

You guys are clueless if you really think the military is a last resort job. I know many people here that quit various desirable careers to be medics. Life isn't all about maxing your hourly rate. Been there done that for 7 years. I'd rather have a sgt as my boss instead of a computer screen any day.

But really the deciding factor for me was I didn't want to look back at my life when I'm old and see a lifetime of sitting in front of my monitors clicking buttons for a few bucks.

This reminds me of a great line from Buffy the Vampire Slayer:

Professor: My last just flashed before my eyes.

Buffy: So what was it, a big blur of boring books, drinking coffee, and bathroom breaks?
 
Quote from economicZero:

I am not an idiot.. I have a degree with honors in Economics from a top 20 school and passed the CFA level 1 exam June 09.

9 months unemployed and i give up. i'm 25 years old and I've never earned more than $15.50/hr and I've never had more than $2500 to my name. I have more than 40k in student debt.

the biggest red flag on my resume is that i quit my last job because i could not stand working in back office operations $15.5/hr in a dead end job working with morons.. today i would take it :) i regret quiting now. its just upsetting that i have resorted to working as a server at a chain restaurant.

i'm hoping the military can bring some humility back to my life, my plan is to safe some money and when i get out.. ill join a prop firm. i'm thinking i might get sympathy from grad schools like Wharton or HBS..

3 years ago i supported Ron Paul and rallied against the foreign policy of the untied states.. at this im thinking, if you cant beat them, join em.

Quote from loza:

That is not the point. Muslims should stay the fuck at home. They should not go to Alabama or Mississippi! You are such a DICK!
The whole point is that the whole world is not a big happy fuzzy melting pot, nor should that be....people have the fucking right to live among their peers and people whom they feel comfortable with. Or have you not notice that this great multiculturalism is a big fucking failure? This guy(OP) want to run away from his problems but the world will not be a welcome mat for him. He better select well where he is running to....

1st off, you completly missed the point in my post so now I will go ad hominem on you.

Of course people have the right to live among their peers should they have the choice, in your case I suggest the manure pile on a farm. Oh wait, that would be an insult to the pile of shit.

Nowhere did I say the world is a happy melting pot, in fact I put forth the opposite. You might want to hire a Grade 3 schoolkid to teach you comprehension, although you might be overpaying for that, maybe a comatose mentally retarded deaf mute half donkey inbred mutant might be closer to your mental capacities.

Lastly, maybe you should stay the fuck at home and change your diapers instead of bitching about your racial view on ET at your $2 an hour job sucking back tranny jizz on the corner of Neanderthal and Amoeba.
 
you don't know what the fuck you are talking about, loser!

Why not actually try to become good in the military? It's a worthy profession and could do with some more intelligent, higher-calibre people. In many respects it's better than clicking a mouse and staring at a screen all day.

Are you sure? I read about military guys that stare at screens all day of video feeds from drones, looking for bad guys. When they see one, a mouse click launches a missile from the drone and terminates the bad guy.

You wish. Very few do that. Most are standing in the hot sun all day.
