I served 4 years active duty in the corps from 99-03. I'm a service connected disabled veteran.

Here's the deal. Whatever country you live in YOU DO OWE. Some countries give you the choice to serve while others ask for volunteers. It wasn't long ago that the United States didn't ask for volunteers, you simply got drafted. Tough shit. So consider it a luxury and a big one at that, that you are not required to serve.

This is a prime example of an entitlement attitude too many have today. You are entitled to enjoy the benefits of living in America but have done nothing to actually earn that. You blame the bad decisions of the politicians as your reasoning? Really? So if our politicians didn't make bad decisions you would have joined? How about the fact that as an adult male reaping the benefits of a great country, you actually want to defend it? You don't need to serve in the infantry. Tell us what your good at, there will be a job that utilizes your skill in the military.

It's laughable today that the men of America look down at serving in the military. You go back to any point in time and find a country that had a strong military and people jumped at the chance to serve their country. It was an honor and a duty.

Instead we have citizens looking down upon the service and complaining that the illegals are here to steal their jobs. I guess I just don't get it.

I completely agree with this, and I never served. It's one thing I regret, and feel ashamed of. When I was young enough to serve, if I'm being honest, I didn't have the balls to serve. Now that I'm too old, I wish I would've.

I kinda feel the same way. I flat out wasn't ready to serve when I was 18. I can't say I would have made it through boot camp to be honest. By the time I felt like I was ready, I was too far down a different path. Its one thing I will always wonder what could have been.

Similar story for me too. I'm still only 25. But I've had two major knee surgeries on both knees and in need of another one. The military won't have anything to do with me. To much of a risk, but I do regret not going in right at 18 which I still might not have made it cause my first knee surgery was at 15. But I have all the respect in the world for our military. There's no need to be disrespectful to a man doing his job. If you don't want to listen you have the right to walk away(which in my opinion is still disrespectful) or just make up a story and tell them you apologize but your in a hurry and have somewhere to be and leave it at that.
