It's not America, its humanity. +@## like this has been going on for thousands of years. And smh at some of you to generalize the military as a whole to say there all failures at life. A lot of ex presidents were prior military, what failures they all are right. There are so many aspects and different categories in the military that you actually have to pass certain criteria to get in certain jobs. Not everyone who joins goes straight to infantry. Not saying people who are infantry are dumb but theirs a big difference in scores to be a Tech Applications Specialist in the Air Force as opposed to an Infantryman in the Marines. Not to mention the military has a huge amount of people enlisting as officers right now. Now for those that don't know to qualify as an officer you must have a bachelors degree and average a 3.4+ gpa in college. What dummies right. Just sayin.

Now as far as the pictures go, these dudes are disgusting. War really %#*!* with your head. Some of these guys have been on tour for a year plus and that can really mess with you.

They offer incentives, the biggest one being paying for your education once you return. Propaganda is rampant and often so obvious and corny (i.e. "Battle: LA"). I can see why all these men are so easily swayed...sucks.

I'm not anti-military by any means and really support our troops (not the war however).

From those documents, they had a chart showing the results from the AFQT but that didn't show much conclusive evidence in their favor at all and were in fact outperformed by the 18-23 age group in some categories. There is even a chart that supports the whole "failure" opinion (I don't personally agree with it), showing that of 2007 recruits, less than 3% had some college and no degree, and under 5% had an Associate degree or higher. Moreover, I'm not sure why their neighborhood income even matters, other than showing what sort of families they might been raised in - which as we all know, does not have a direct correlation to how successful or unsuccessful we are.

To me, the demographics of military personnel don't mean as much as the values they have, and I'd say that even military from disadvantaged backgrounds can still have great values the military will look for, such as leadership, courage and honor.

Which is crazy cause i will admit. At first it was gut wrenching. But after awhile its like um ok on to the next. But at the same token they kind do this to themselves. We was out on a route and a guy played dead. Well what they will do is lye on the side of the roadand some how inject/pace bombs in their body. When you do sweeps you have to swipe down they arms knee them in the nads etc lift shirt over head and then take a maker or blood and mark them as being checked. Well this one cat i was with did all that and hit a spot and well....

Ppl hear in the states have no idea cant fathom how life is there. I mean they send kids out with coolers off soda that are actually bombs. IED's in trash cans cellphones. The few i have had the priviledge to meet and talk to have expressed it just isnt us in military why they hate the usa. Like i said before its the common man views, the ignorance, the hatred etc we show each other etc... i mean just look at how overall americans are. Look at the majority look at our history etc... Can you honestly say you cant concieve why someone would hate the ppl of the usa.

great post, bro.

i feel the exact same way.

these people sign up for something yall not built for.

you're typing from a keyboard in your parent's house......

talking greasy about dudes serving your country?

say what you will about the figures in government declaring war and sending troops wherever

but i am personally offended when yall start talking greasy about people who risk their life for us.

you may not think they're risking their life for us, but at the end of the day, they are the armed services of the united states of america. the only thing stopping (insert your favorite anti-us country) from invading us is them...

so cut that out, like, now.
