You still sold your body. And for what? To help further the goal of killing more brown people and getting more oil just so you get a come up? You just took the easy way for cowards,. That's nothing to brag about

    1. Every human who has a body and a job, is selling their body.

    2. I joined the army at age 18 thinking of nothing but college money, travel, and adventure for pay. I got all of that. Of course knowing what I know now about how corrupt & evil every government & corporation is, I'd rather have not been born on this planet at all because I want no association with anything evil or corrupt, but here we are all born on earth and figuring out what to do with our lives and how to survive the best we can with what information we've been provided at any given moment.

    1. I've never had a job that I could get in trouble for getting an unauthorized tattoo or a sunburn so there's definitely a scale here
    2. You're right, but that's still a choice you made. I nearly joined the army at 18 because it seemed like the only way out of a bad situation, but I didn't, because I decided that I would rather be homeless. I'm not saying you made a bad choice by doing what you could for yourself, I'm saying it's nothing to brag about and certainly nothing to be proud of.

    Edit: Also I want everyone here to remember this quote the next time they think about thanking a vet for their service
