Obama's campaign was funded by the same banks that funded McCains and every other candidate (excluding the good ones we all wanted but "he has no chance"). This has been going on forever, and we've been getting warned about the military industrial complex forever. If you want to be a "...dumb, stupid animal to be used as a pawn for foreign policy" (Henry Kissinger) then sign up. Obama = different war, different country, the return of national socialism. McCain = same war and maybe bombing Iran too. If our military was used to protect Americans, id be happy someone is willing to enlist and risk their lives. Since its not, I just feel sorry for all those poor bastards over there and hope you don't become one of them. I hope at least you get one of these non-violent jobs all these guys have been telling you about.
Word. Almost makes me want to stop dicking around and make a decision already. The only thing keeping me from signing up right now is waiting to see who'll get elected...I think right now is a not such a good time to join the miltary-what if McCain is elected and decides to continue the occupation of Iraq, and increasing military presence overseas? i don't want to get shipped out...what are my chances of that happening if I choose a medical services MOS? Think I'll be sent to a tent hospital in a war zone?
