    Huh, that's interesting. I know that trained armies don't shoot at medics because of how much of a terrible thing it is to do, but I wouldn't think organizations like Taliban adhere to the same guidelines.

    Unfortunately, being deaf prevented me from joining in my prime, but now a days they make special exception for people to join. So yes, I would have joined up to serve my country even WITHOUT the threat of war. I love the USA and would defend it with my last breath. Braver men than we fought for these freedoms and I would not sit idly by and allow their sacrifice to go without reward or acknowledgment.



    The greatest country on Earth deserves every ounce of support I could offer

    To be fair it depends on who the local Taliban Commander is, not all are willing to die or throw his own mens lives away on a whim. Some are complete bastards, some have a small sense of honour.

    I wouldn't be able to help with anything, so no I wouldn't join.

    In a heartbeat.
    Mountains rise in the distance stalwart as the stars, fading forever.
    Roads ever weaving, soul ever seeking the hunter's mark.

    The nerve is called the "nerve of awareness". You cant dissect it. Its a current that runs up the center of your spine. I dont know if any of you have sat down, crossed your legs, smoked DMT, and watch what happens... but what happens to me is this big thing goes RRRRRRRRRAAAAAWWW! up my spine and flashes in my brain... well apparently thats whats going to happen if I do this stuff...

    OT: Yes, I'm joining the USMC now. Matter of fact, I leave for boot camp on the 22nd of this month.
    Because some people don't really have a choice to live in their country? Not everyone can just pick up their crap, get a visa/greencard and or other nationality and just leave...

    OT: Hahahahahahahaha no. I might fight back, but I'd do in on my own terms with a group of vigilantes that I lead. No way I'm taking orders from old coots who won't get into combat themselves.

    I would take the 1.st plane with my family into australia.
    1.st because we wouldnt stand a chance
    2.nd because the nation would probaly get enslaved
    3.rd because 95% of our politicials are old comunists
    4.th bad ground too set up the defense (only thing that would work is guerilla war)
    5.th outdated milatary (compared too america tehnology our is in pretty much stone age)
    6.th i would lose everything, land ,whealth, many family lifes and so on
    Don't sweat the details!!!

    Ergh... If i thought it was justified - yes.

    But as such im already considering joining the navy, it's offering me quite good career progression after attaining my HND from my apprenticeship. (The RO even dropped a line, of a possible bursary fund - to attend uni)

    This is months and months away though, and im still young - so im just keeping monthly contact while working.

    What makes you think you are qualified to lead men in combat? You definitely did not serve in a combat unit with that attitude.

    Of course if you live in a socialist type country, there really wouldn't be much freedom to defend in the first place, but would you still be willing to go into military service to defend your country?

    As I said, depends on the local Taliban Commander.

    Maybe the Taliban understand that if they did, the international forces would strike down on them mercilessly. The thing they don't want to do, is to motivate international forces into fighting them.

    He be a primarch - the mightiest make belief general, ever conceived!

    Joke's aside, i'd be hesitant of leading a large group of men - im concerned with there well being for one, and the fact i'd take it upon myself to visit there family's in the event of there death.

    Alot of people view war as a game, i'd be willing to bet there the first to die...

    Not to mention the Taliban are pretty cowardly, they are not all the crazed suicide bombers the media portrays them to be, they want to live to fight another day.
