Girls + Guns = ?

[Captain Beard]

Being that none of them are in the kitchen making my dinner, I just don't feel the love.

 

[Lordlucid]

Nah man they're out in the woods hunting it with nothing but boots and a bowie knife.

 

[Captain Beard]

Maybe if they're in camo bikinis. Or less. Otherwise, it doesn't do it for me.

^ that picture is horrible!


and it's funny but indeed most of the pictures are from the IDF including the ones you're all drooling over

I promise when I go home next time I'll bring that album with me, so I can scan some pics
It was waaaaaay before digital cameras...

 

[Dead_Lioness]

OI!

^ those chicks are in boot camp! I bet they took this picture on their first or second day too... because after some time, you never pose with your gun like that

 

[Metal head87]

I now envy my cousin in the IDF, even though it's a 3 year service now

 

[Dead_Lioness]

Oh fuck that.
Military sucks.

true, it taught me a lot, and I'm defnitely a different person because of that (it's a good thing though.. you learn a lot about yourself, and about life..)
but seriously: apart from the novalty and the good friends you make: it sucks! it's real life war.... and war is NEVER cool.
I'm glad I did it, but thank goat it's over.

It all depends on mindest. War is without question never good, but it is sometimes required and justified. The military always appealed to me, and I have a few friends who love being in it.

 

[Dead_Lioness]

Derek: absolutely: both of my brothers and father are high-ranked officers (doing reserved now) so I know this system works for some people... and that's cool for them...

 

[Psychonaut]

I did 6 years in the military. It pretty much straightened my ass out and taught me a trade, which I use today. I had no idea wat I wanted to go to college for and was spinning my wheels.

 

[DreamNeonBlack]

< shrugs > Military was good and bad for my brother. He spent 8 years in the marines as a sniper , got out and became a PI and is now a civilian contractor teaching at an army sniper school.

Though he got amazingly lazy when he got out, which was odd.

 

[derek]

I still may join. I passed various selection courses when I was younger but realised it was not the right choice at the time. I have no lack of courage but I would sincerely dislike putting my life on the line for a government with clandestine and nefarious aims. There are certain roles that would not mean direct combat, and I may look to one of those.

 

[Shpongled]

Wouldn't that make you a hypocrite, regardless of the position you held?

I would never ever join the military under any circumstances. I'd even dodge a draft if I had to. My life means way too much to me.

 

[Chromatose]

so you'd rather let them durn terrrrists come and kill ya THAN DYING WITH HONOR TAKING THEM OUT?

 

[derek]

In some ways you're right. I suppose it depends on what you consider the main role of the military to be. I think it has many different roles, and within that there exists a variety of roles for personnel, both combat based and non-combative.

Working for the military has been attractive to me for years, but I've been held back by bad timing and the concern that I'd end up dead for the wrong reason. A combat position would be OK for me, but only if I thought I'd be justifiably putting my life on the line.

I wouldn't consider myself a hypocrite if I joined the military in a non-combat role, because in that respect it's simply an appealing job to me.

 

[Dead_Lioness]

I totally agree Kevin.
Like I said: serving the military gave me a lot... turned me into the person I am today (as much as I hate to admit it... )
but if there is a draft now, and they're calling all soldiers: all I have to say is:
"fuck all y'all" There is no way I am going back.

My post above really reflects what I feel: I learned a lot in military, I definitely don't regret going, but ANY war is horrible, and I value my life waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much for getting into that system again or seeing things I have seen and still try to forget.........

 

[derek]

Depends on what the cause was. World War II was justified, yet nonetheless abhorrent. Almost every major war since has had behind it more nefarious motives. I'd be a conscientious objector for, say, this war in Iraq if a draft was called for. Another war with a forced draft that I felt just, then I'd go.

 

[Lunar Still]

Aye, if it was a cause I could get behind, or if I really felt that my home and loved ones were threatened, I'd join up. Putting more money in the oil companies' pockets? Sorry, not a very strong rallying cry.

 

[Shpongled]

I love it, these kinds of varying morals are the stuff that makes the world go round.

To me, there's no war that's ever been fought or that will ever be fought that I'd put my life on the line for. I'd rather live. But that's not to say that if I were forced into a situation where I had to fight, I wouldn't. As long as there's a choice, I pick life.
