I may agree with you on that point, but he is my Commander in Chief, so I must refrain from insults towards him. Whom would you fight for?

Believe it or not, but the "only the poor" join the US military is more fallacy than fact. There are more enlisted personnel with BA and BS degrees than ever before entering the services and not because they couldn't find a job on the outside. Sure, joining the military is a great option for a poor person, but that poor person has to have morals and intelligence, not be a street thug.
As a point of interest, my friend and I are considering joining the military because we are having a tough time in the present economy. We have BS degrees in Chemistry/Biochemistry respectively.

It is very hard for somebody who has killed (probably a civilian in the case of the u.s. military) to be convinced that their actions were at the behest of an evil regime, and equivalent to the actions of Nazi soldiers under the rule of Hitler.

Originally posted by RagnorakThe thing about Hitler was, even though he was a very evil man, he was an excellent leader. My history teacher in high school had some transcripts of his speeches, and the things he said would blow you away. I probably would have followed him too, had I not known what he was fighting for...

a son of a relative of mine just joined airforce in u.s., because his single mother couldn't pay for his education working three jobs. how sick is that.
we have free for all academic education here. well, with a nominal fee comparable to rhp subscription. nobody has to go kill anybody to get education.
Originally posted by Derfel CadarnI chose biochem. Biotech is a healthy industry from what I understand. It's also a good field to study abiogenesis and evolution from I think, as well as virology (both interests of mine).
