Sure your personality your individuality is important for you to survive, but for this group of people for humanity as a whole, you are replaceable. Thats why the army is good thing, if you are poor, lazy and or stupid. It keeps losers of the streets. If they are lucky they get killed in a jungle war, instead on the way to their job they absolutley hate

I disagree, I just bumped into an old mate down the shops. Whilst he isn't academically brilliant, he certainly isn't stupid and he definately isn't lazy. He's a commando and I really think that for him, the army is a probably the best place he could be. He loves exercise/sport and it's good for him to be able to channel his competative streak in his job.

He's a big fucker for sure. He's about 6'3" and must be about 16 stone. Absolute beast.
I've got a few friends in the forces and come to think of it, none of them are of "below average" intelligence. I also think laziness soon gets drilled out of you, long days and lack of sleep seems commonplace for our lot.

tell him that if he loves exercise and sports he should get the hell out of the army and do those things on his own and then he can do something useful besides that instead of spending his time in the army.

yes! britain should stop pretending to be a world power and put some money into something more worthwhile instead of the military and dodgy invasions

we don't!
the worst thing is that they call it a "defence" army, but we've been involved in offensive action.

Finland still has Putin as a neighbour. Still, voluntary citizen army (like U.S. militia) simply works better in principle. In practical terms, a mercenary army would be the best solution for now.
Most European nations don't "need" an army, but generals need privates, they feed on them.

I hate the way that Canadas armed forces have gone from Peace Keepers to a Hostile Force. This has only happened in the last decade and it should create outrage, but people are more concerned with Gay marrage and trivial stuff like softwood lumber. I was happy in the fact that Canada did not have a jaundiced foriegn policy like the US, but now I see that Canada could easly become a terrorist target because of the change in attetude/policy concerning the deployment of the military.

you shouldn't complain about your government spending too much money on the military. i live in the U.S. the government has already spent a few hundred billion dollars to invade tattooine and then station kids there to get blown up by suicide bombers on a daily basis. i only work part-time right now because of school, so i can't complain about paying for it really, but it worries me that in the future my income tax could be paying for more pointless "wars."

After the whole Iraq fiasco, I am so suprised that George W. Bush has still got such a huge following. The American media's slant has really shifted and you can find pretty unbiased reporting without having to search too far(unlike when Farenhiegt 9/11 came out)
But still he has millions and millions of supporters!
Go figure

and i enjoy living in seattle, far from any of them.
there has to be something wrong with the way you think when you support most of the discisions he has made. when you let your bias for 'moral right' or whatever bullshit supercede the need for logical, practical choices concerning our contry, something is wrong. now whether all the decisions that were made were really Bush's or not is up for debate. I don't think you can logically blame one person for all that's happened during his time in office, but that's the president's job- all the fame, all the infamy.

what scares me is the stuff that's started to come out about U.S. soldiers killing Iraqi civilians and stuff over there... I know it's never going to happen, but i recently read "ordinary men," a book about how German soldiers became killers in WWII, and it just puts me on edge to think that people nowadays can still kill like they did, even on a small scale.

of course I can complain! even spending more than a hundred kroner on our army is too much! and relative to the us economy I don't know how much we spend in percentages, but the government is spending too fucking much and I complain about it to everyone as much as possible so that it may one day reach the right channels.

any army is that word monoid found on his "a word a wipe" toilet roll; autopoetic! the presence of an army anywhere produces the presence of an army elsewhere which then "justifies" the presence of the first army because "you just don't know what a country with an army may do" so one needs an army to protect oneself from the other armies, but the other armies are only there to protect themselves from the other armies.

the reports on the news are getting stranger and stranger.. there was an interview with a guy who was just sitting by the road with a huge american flag and then he said "our boys couldn't have done such a thing, something must've happened!"
yeah, something happened, and it was your "boys" doing "such a thing."

"there has to be something wrong with the way you think when
you support most of the discisions he has made. when you let
your bias for 'moral right' or whatever bullshit supercede the need for logical, practical choices concerning our contry, something is wrong."
the government (u.s and u.k) try to make you feel that your 'freedom' is in immediate danger of being taken from you. think about all that "we are currently an 'amber' state - no immediate danger... 5 minutes later... code red! code red! grab your shotguns the suicide evil muslim bombers are coming!"
fear is used to control. your fear means that they can justify a war that never needed to happen. don't give me all that crap about suddam being an evil dictator. since when did the u.s ever care about third world countries anyway? i mean look at mugabe for example. that weapons of mass destruction was a load of bollocks too. iraq had no intentions of attempting to take over america anyway. the concept of that is utterly ridiculous.
