i will die with honor, i will take many down with me. As my hatred is strong!
People tell you **** because they are concerned for your safety and mental well-being. (Just as I am after reading this post) People obviously care if they are warning you about how much of a hell experience it was.
i dont care! you dont understand. i am willing to die for no reason, suicide is too easy, my family would be angry at least if i died in battle or something or i came home torn and damaged it would make no difference to my current condition. i would be still just as messed up.
I honestly feel Sorry for You…

so do i but perhaps in death i will be reborn as something or someone with a degree of happiness
I’m just trying to answer your question “Why do people tell me ****!” Which I’ve just realised wasn’t followed by a question mark. So if this is a rant then good luck and I hope things work out for you. :)
Or are you presenting your situation in hopes to spark a debate over whether what you’re doing is justified or not because you’re unsure yourself?

perhaps, i am unsure as some people have told me it has destroyed who they are and they have to take medication to sleep at night. Others tell me they make 70 grand a year and they enjoy life! i dont know what to believe i am ******* scared, hurt and drunk.

That’s what I was afraid of. I get the impression that the 70 grand a year boys with a happy life must be pretty heartless. Just bear in mind that this is a BIG decision and no matter what happens, it is going to strongly affect you for the rest of your life, unless you get killed that is. There are heaps of outlets in life where you can get an enormous buzz without having to kill people. Have you tried bungy-jumping or sky-diving before?
Given that you’re making a post you don’t have to make to incite a discussion you don’t need to have, I’m thinking you DO care. A lot.
What’s hurting you?
the job market is soo terrible that the main reason for me to join the military is to have a job…. i just want love…i want someone to say that i matter.. even if i die i dont care anymore my tender heart is growing cold and bitter and i like it better than wearing my heart on my sleeve

honest opinion on what? your ability to use cusswords? the fact you want to go and kill innocent people because youre mad at yourself? some other equally as stupid reason?
I would never join a war with a passion to kill my enemies. I don’t believe one is right and the other is wrong. Years ago men would fight in war because there was nothing sweeter than fighting and dying for the motherland. In modern warfare though, it seems that people no longer acknowledge that idea as it has now become perhaps just a fantasy for hungry wannabe soldiers.
i was really drunk and i listened to pessimistic vets of the Canadian forces. I know its not glamorous, but its steady work, free education, and a chance to really move up in the world.
I think it’s good that you want to enlist. But don’t go in there with the attitude of a trigger happy sociopath. There is a strict code you will have to follow and if you contravene a direct order, then you will be introduced to their consequences. Dishonorably discharged is not something you want.

no i know the last thing i want is that on my record. i find it hard enough to find a job as it is let alone with that on my record i would never be able to work again.
1. You’ve made a decision and you’re going to be foreced to stick with it. This could be a very good thing. Haveing read your posts, it sounds like you could use a lot of guidance and a group to belong to and, no offense, some experiences to help you grow up.
2. If you go in with the mindset of a suicidal or a flaming racist (what the heck is up with that anyway, dude? Towel head? Jeez. Ugly stuff. I’m not shocked that you don’t get far wearing THAT heart on your sleeve.) you’re not going to get anything that you’re looking for. At best, you’re just going to get a member of your team killed. You’re going to be a member of a kind of group where you can’t let it be about you. In war, it’s NOT ABOUT YOU. Better start working on that idea right now.
3. People that do well and get promoted in the military are the ones that can put the good of others before themselves, who look at taking care of others. It’s less about killing “them” than it is about protecting “us”.
thats what i thought too, like i said i was really drunk last night, i am not a racist man. yet i used some racist terms. forgive me, anyway its something i believe in, protecting others and helping everyone, regardless of what side they are on or what god they warship. If all was could end in a peaceful resolution the canadian forces would have done thier job and then some. I just met and talked to 2 soposid vets. who went into details about how they are insane, how he had to kill children and women, regardless of the danger the child or woman represents i couldn’t kill them, at worst i would wound them so they couldn’t attack and detain them. But not kill. ever.
booze brings out the worst in me i think i will stop hitting the bottle.

Its too late i am flying out on the 20th of this month and i will be fighting!
No big, man, it sounds like you’re going through a tough thing.
Hang in there. I’ve known a lot of people that the military did pretty good by. And yeah, I’ve worked with a few vets suffering from some version of PTSD, and it’s not fun, but it’s also not the vast majority. There’s a lot of good you can get out of this. I hope you get a lot of the good and none of the bad.
Just work hard and keep hold of who you are.
