plain blue jacket posted:Is there is much animosity between american soldiers and civilians in real life or is this just a something awful thing? I honestly never hear it IRL, then again I live in NYC where most people are too busy to give a drat and 9/11 was a real thing to them. To me it's like how Americans think the rest of the world hates them, the truth is nobody gives a poo poo about America, it's just a place where awesome movies and TV shows come from.

cool tree bro posted:lol if you think the military wont be made of primarily contractors from blackwater, i mean Xe, I mean Academi and other such corporations in a decade. When they first popped onto the scene I looked into them for a few hours because it was like something out of an outlandish cyberpunk game or something. The amount of logos and corporate taping around them is nuts. Actually the thing that bummed me out is when I first started to look into them, I ran across like two dozen companies I bet not many people have heard of in Iraq; everyone knows Blackwater/Xe. My personal favorite was a "security solutions" firm owned by Haliburton, mostly because before the Iraq war they were literally thrown out of the Phillipines for doing enforcement work for a child slavery and prostitution ring but avoided prosecution due to their American connections. Of course this reputation meant they probably got a really good discount on

plain blue jacket posted:Is there is much animosity between american soldiers and civilians in real life or is this just a something awful thing? It's a love hate relationship. Like for example where I live there is a massive marine base (Pendleton). The locals love the economic boost and generally don't have a problem with individual soldiers, but everyone hates the marines who act like drunken jackasses every weekend. I don't really have a huge problem with soldiers but it does just irritate me when they pretend like they're doing me some huge service. For the most part people are pretty cool with soldiers. I don't like the occupation but I understand it's the best choice some people have. Moridin920 fucked around with this message at 23:40 on Apr 22, 2015 |

there's actually a huge difference between the marine corps and the air force / navy. when people think of stupid murdering psychopaths what they're really thinking of is the marine corps, and that's ok, they are literally the grunts and it's their job to kill as many people as possible before they eventually die. don't mix the air force and navy into that same group.

We should keep the Marines out at sea where they belong and occasionally have them blow up a country when we need them to.

Yo I served for 6 years. My 4 years in active were spent living in DC, "working" 3 hours a day for great pay, amazing benefits, and like 50 days of vacation days/holidays a year. My 2 years in the guard were spent getting drunk with my platoon sergeant and showing up 2 hours late. For my noble sacrifices I received free college and the instant respect of everyone else in the country. Honor me for protecting your freedoms, fuckin civilians.

like the entire basis of the military is undermining recruits' self-confidence (and replacing it with unflinching nationalism) until they're infinitely-malleable pieces of human clay that you can tell to put a .50 cal round into an afghani civilians head without talking back.

Marines are the dumbest of the dumb. They forgot the air force and navy exists and made their own idiot aircraft carriers.

[in British narrator voice] "Two weeks after the mating ritual the recruit will lay a clutch of eggs from which tiny marinelets will hatch and, within a mere eight-hour span, learn every skill they will possess in their entire lives. Thus goes the cycle of the military."

Served in the Old Guard in a mortar platoon. If there wasn't a ceremony going on there was poo poo for us to do. And once I became a squad leader that "3 hours" went down to "maybe 1 hour." And once I was 5 months from ETSing that 1 hour went to "show up for formation and then say I have a appointment and disappear for the day."
