Forums / The hangaround / the United States Marine Corps

Edit to my previous post:

though our troops do it from themselve's and they are ordered to do it... thats the diffrence

 I would like to quickl point out that americans are taught from a very young age that the goverment is there to represent them and therefor knows best interest of its people.

Americans have gotten so used to the comfortable lifestyle that even when they get something shoved in their face, the younger generations tend to just take it.

In America, respect is losing its value for the simple fact, to raise in the society you must constantly compete and those that are biggest competors they take advantage of that. this causes loss of trust in people and loss of respect overall. it is down spiral.

Why America hates European who hate America

They spout things that yes may be true, but hold ALL americans responsible for it. They claim they dont but they obviously do.

Americans are crapped on by their own people and become bitter. To gain any respect now is to fight for it. Military is suppose to be one of the exceptions and directly serves the purpose. So in their eyes the military is honor and respected. (not entirely true). So to hear their main pride and glory talked down to is not very good for making friends. They become bitter and attack the people that accuse them. Causing a spiral.

America must pay  extra for debt that goverment has created. Because goverment spends more than its budget allows they must pay difference, to blame the entirety of the people makes them naturally side with their goverment because people blame the people. Not the CORRUPT society running it. To help pay for debt it is only normal that they go to socialist. I personally hate idea of having to pay more money to help a bum on the street who does nothing. He either needs to find a job or (like mr. vuggy said) join the army branches for employment. yes it is one entire employment project, however they want to make use of useless people. cant blame them for that.

All in all american's are bitter because the very thing they are suppose to be proud of is their democratic goverment and superpower. Because of this people naturally find reasons to hate them. in return they hate them to causes spiral.

If you look what countries and races like americans most

First it is africa, they like american people and goverment.

next is russia, though they just like people dont like goverment.

Then britian, they dont mind people hate the goverment.

Rest of world looks at them with resentment.

All in all americans are bitter from self made circumstances of themselves and the younger generation cause of their forefathers stupid mistakes (look they put bush in office). Then to be knocked by rest of world even when they want to agree? naturally they side with opposite side.

My families military and my grandfather got some sort of star or another from desert storm. That count?

Grew up military so naturally i have respect for it's ideals. but will never join it and my respect for the individual must be earned.

Like I said earlier, I have a very good friend who joined the USMC. We both worked together teaching Martial Arts (I live just north of the border, he lives just south of it), so if you meet a short, very muscular marine who can kick just about anyone's rears, then you've met my friend.
Best of luck in the Corps!

P.S. No one is perfect, least of all myself, but the better your grammar/spelling, the more serious you are taken in most forums. So Koss, Capitalize and Punctuate! :D
/end grammar Nazi

Wrong, germans have always been proud. They were shamed, that is true. However what makes me love german people is that they held their heads up high anyway. Plus when the world knocked them down after world war I they yet again nearly took on all of europe and some other major powers. Germans are worthy of respect. Even if they hate americans :) we like germans

I have to ask - are there only prepubescent boys in here who still sport romanticized views of army life/armed conflicts?

You go and join the military where you pledge to KILL people. Not smack them around a bit and tell them to be good henceforth, you KILL them. You also pledge to let every moron with a higher rank then yourself order you around. Do you know that really annoying idiot, you had an ongoing conflict with, throughout elementary school/highschool/whatever? Yes, he is going to be your superior. And yes, he is going to make you wish you were born as a girl called Nancy. In Kentucky.

And you do all that not for god and country (neither of which deserves it anyway) but for a bunch of fat pricks who are already cashing in your nations wealth and need silly youngsters like yourselves, to keep themselves in power.

So wtf are you all talking about? Joining the army? Really? Wake the rude-F-word up kids and get a proper education then go do something useful with your lives. You can always fire guns on a gun range, at a bloody target that won't spray red after you hit it.

And in case you are wondering - we had a 10 days "war" here when i was your age. It's NOT fun. It's NOT grand. And guess what, people who die don't re-spawn.

Shees, where are the parents when they are needed to beat some sense into kids.

*shakes head*

Too true TBL, haven't you noticed how most of the people have entire families in the army?

And guess what, people who die don't re-spawn.

I disagree...

ha lolz go vuggy

Marines suck, Teletubbies Task Force ftw!
