Here's what you should take note of.
Your poll is 70/30 (Yes/No)
Ironically 70% of members of this forum are immature and childish, while the other 30% are mature adults with real world experience.
You choose who to listen to as far as advice.

How are people that think joining the military is the right thing to do childish? You anti military people make me sick. Dislike the politicians as much as you like, but don't hate on the people that don't have a say in anything and join to simply better themselves. You're probably just to much a pussy to join, stuck at home on your computer all day sharing the same views your parents had. I live in an area that has a large military presence. I have a lot of friends that are currently in the military and some that are vets. Not a single one says you shouldn't join. It instills discipline and makes you a man/ women. Most that join the military never see a day of combat or carry a gun. You're disgusting....the people that voted yes are really the mature ones, while the ones that voted no are really the childish kids that watch to many anti war youtube videos and believe whatever their parents tell them.

If you know what the smart/mature ones will say the the poll why have you placed a poll in the first place?
-
I didn't post the poll you -blam!-ing retard...
-
Didn't mean this to you but either way I meant saying this to someone other than OP and messed up :(
-
I do not agree with the persons post about childish, however some of the "no" votes might be from vets with multiple deployments.

Could be, I haven't heard anyone of my friends say they regretted it or don't join so I wouldn't know. I'm well aware that some people get jerked around while in the military, but overall I've only heard great things. There are some issues, but IMO overall it's a worthwhile experience where everyone should be forced to join like Israel. America would be 10x better than it is now if everyone had to join for 4-5 years.
-
But if people were forced to join, the constitution (that which military members defend) would be rendered pointless. Now we could get into the fact that the Founders may have expected people to join militias (state National Guards) but forced federal service, never their intent.

Yes I'm aware of that. Lets say that in the constitution it required for every citizen to serve 4 years. I get the whole land of the free and all that. I'm just saying that with the type of people that come out of the military, America would be in a much better place. There's to much anti military people when most assume if you sign on the dotted line that it's a given that you're going to hold a gun and kill civilians in foreign country's. Also if 4 years was required our government wouldn't be so -blam!-ed. Most have never served, including pretty much- if not all- of our recent presidents. Sending men to war, debating military issues, and cutting military benefits etc...when you've never served is asinine; which is exactly what our senate and congress is doing despite most of them having never served.

Whoa whoa whoa! All I meant was he really needed to decide for himself. Kids on these forums will hit YES just to do it.
