Marines are low-key geniuses.

The marines who survive long enough to get the cushy office jobs to make decisions like this have probably seen a side of war most people could never imagine.

@dexii "alternate universe"

In my life I've found Marines to often be some of the most respectable people. I may have a very skewed perspective on life from years of violence, so I tend to value traits much of polite society looks down on. That said, I can agree with the idea that war is cheapened when treated as a game. But I approach from the opposite side. I think rather than making war more like a game, we should treat games more like war, if that makes any sense. The idea being to create stakes that impact the soul of a player and leave them changed from their experience. I find that such a life leads to a great deal of sadness, but brings with it wisdom and understanding. It is greater to approach a dream as though reality, than to treat reality as though a dream.

I’m about to enlist as a 19D in the NG! No , i’m not enlisting because of video games lol. But what should i expect as a cav scout?

@@SPaZchAOs I was active duty so I can't tell you much about the NG, but I can tell you a little bit about basic. There's three basic 'phases' everyone goes through. Shock, Anger, Indifference. At first everything you're experiencing is so different and demanding from what you're used to that you're basically in a state of shock for the first week or so. Honestly, I don't remember very much at all about the first eight days. The anger part comes when you're finally past that initial period and you're kind of used to what's going on, and the drills are constantly punishing you for a lot of stupid things other people are doing. Indifference is when you're finally completely used to it all and you give way less of a shit about the dumb stuff people are doing. You're gonna find out really quickly that discipline doesn't come naturally to anyone. I guess I'll give you two general pieces of advice as well. First is to be friendly and make friends. You really don't want to be the asshole no one in the platoon likes. Talk to people. Second is more of a personal thing, but it's something I wish someone had told me before going in. If you ever feel very, very strongly that the army isn't for you, you're probably right. Despite what people will tell you at the time, there is no shame in just admitting that it isn't for you. The drills will make fun of you for quitting, and so might some of your battle buddies(I think they're calling you Warrior Companions now, lol) but what they think doesn't matter. This is your life, not theirs. I never felt strongly that I didn't want to keep doing it, but I do wish someone had given me a reality check about this. Good luck, bud. Basic is way less hard and a lot more boring then you're probably thinking.

I´m a german and about to enlist in circa a year or so. The thing about the german military not hitting their recruitment goals every year is the stigma every german gets through education. Especially on the higher paths of education there is enough talk in history class about the second world war and the nazis and how all of this is to be despised. German soldiers are therefore seen as right wing extremists and stuff, especially by the younger generations. Old people are more likely to say that we need a strong Bundeswehr (Military). Anyways, that´s just the opinion of....well, not even a recruit. Take care!

I think it’s entirely bullshit to say I didn’t want to join under this current admin. Unless you get a low test score on whichever branch you join. It makes no difference to your day to day life. It’s always the people you work day to day with and what your immediate leadership is.

Actually i think you hit the nail on the head with this comment. The recruitment rate is tanked because every one that is competent to lead has been fired. Nobody wants to be used by people who actively betray and destroy their own country and spit on all the men and women who gave their lives fighting to protect American independence. Not to mention the complete and utter lack of planning to achieve better results in actual war settings. It seems as a soldier you are sacrifice before your death waiting for orders from people far from suffering and completely devoid of basic common sense or reason just to fulfill objectives that are ultimately political and asset based. I remember watching the news before Trump was president and Isis was on the move taking over all the territories that had led to tens of thousands of deaths all the years previous. They were hunting down Coptic Christians and murdering all before them. Obama took no action let the problem fester and destroy any gain or prosperity we hoped to achieve. Trump allowed the millitary to do their jobs and put down the rabbid dogs almost as fast as it started. Ultimately your death would only be used to invoke political favor with the sweet words used and nothing will have been achieved but for the Industrial War Complex machine and corrupted evil people in charge. This basically goes for all nations and all supposed freedom fighters. These people don't care about life or peace they care about profit and power.

@@jessicalindo7977 A military's soul fundamental job is to protect the state and it's citizens from outside threats and if necessary uphold the laws of the land and the rights of the people. Their goal is to operate under any condition to neutralize their enemies. The U.S military especially those in the Pentagon have seemed to gotten confused with this basic concept along the way. From army generals coming at saying the biggest threat to our democracy (note we are not a democracy but a republic) is white men, to the secretary of the navy going before a Senate committee calling Christians strange and possibly threatening people even though a large portion of our armed forces identity as Christian. There is also the evidence of their inclusivity videos that they make mandatory to watch that were about people's pronouns. The dropping of physical standards not just for the average MOS non combat jobs but for special forces jobs as well to include more women in them to fill in actual quota instead of taking from the best of the best ( and I am not saying women aren't capable some are, but if you are doing something like that just to get to a certain number so you look good to your superiors and certain people on one side of the political aisle instead of training for the best of the best to go kill the enemy it doesn't look good for you). Frankly I could point to a mirade of other things to prove the military is becoming more political but I haven't got all day. My recommendation is talk to another veteran who has gotten out in the last couple of years and he'll say the same thing and more. Have a good day.

Don't become an imperialist pig! The Us Army is there to subjugate the black or brown people and the governments of other nations so that they benefit the US ideological and economical interests. That Army is a racist, capitalist, imperialist and sexist institution designed to eat young bright people like you and churn out masticated broken individuals. Even if you don't see combat in your hypothetical service, the Army will still try to destroy any critical thinking and dissidence you may have.
