Kids who join the military today are kids who are not going to college, and have displinary problems
You're talking out of an orifice other than the one from which people are supposed to talk.
My son just started college but informed me this weekend of his intention to put college on hold and join the military. I'm behind whatever decision he decides to make.
I don't want to ruin an important part of my life by joining the military.
Personally, I wouldn't want you to be in the military. But I don't need to worry. It's one of those things where the people who have no place in the military also have no inclination to be there. It's a self-correcting/protecting system.
much too lazy to be doing pointless drills and excercises.
They're not pointless. A lazy slob would be a liability to his comrades.
At 20 years old, I have accomplished more than 99% of the people in the United States (financially)
I don't believe that for a second. I think it's just bluster. You're far too lacking in intelligence and common sense for the above statement to be true. If you're rich, I'd wager that it's an inheritance or insurance settlement.
But if you're referring to your moral bankruptcy, well, that's nothing something to brag about. We all see it and don't need the reminders.
I would probably get beaten up in the military for being such a preppy.
Fortunate for you there's no draft. And the term is "fragged".
I commend the bravery of those who do join,
In the same post in which you insult those who do??? Why are you so slow to realize that you're your own worst enemy?
I take more pride in my mental ability
Your pride is obviously misplaced.
God Bless America, and all but one of its inhabitants
