It's easy to say that on your end bud. Especially when your father was the last to serve and he's still alive. What am I supposed to say? I'm a coward that won't fight when you have? Bullshit. That right there is dishonorable. If I didn't, I couldn't look him in the eye again. That is where I am coming from.
I don't know why you'd want to die on foreign soil when you could be doing something positive at home. Lot's of vets chimed in here but take this one from a civvy who's never gotten close to serving in police or military.
If you aren't a retard, drug addict, or mentally insane, go to a volunteer fire department off a major highway (we need fit bodies). We don't get paid and the state doesn't do much except fund some shit (despite this being one of the prime functions of guberment). It'll turn you into a contentious objector
real fucking fast.
Dealing with shit like washing human paste off the pavement with a fire line at 3AM, looking for a severed head from a rollover, moving deathfats with maggots in their limbs (and the smell of gangerene), drug addicts, gunshot victims from dumb shit, child abuse is the routine. This is assuming you don't get maimed or die from the following:
Stabbed, shot, burned, suffocated, impaled, bludgeoned, bitten, canceled (by social media retards), disease, radiation (radionuclides via fedex and UPS... Usually no Hazmat label), chemicals, suicidal attention whores, arsonists, exploding propane/LNG tanks, IEDs, flattened by a rubbernecker, etc.
You might even get
vaporized with the majority of your
department because some company didn't want to secure it's ammonium nitrate stockpile.
North Koreans could actually make it to Washington
I mean, if they identified as trans-korean they might.
