Hey guys,
Been thinking about my post-university plans recently, but after a few corporate intern stints, the American white collar route doesn’t seem super appealing. I’m based in NYC, one of the highest taxed places in the nation, where the poorest pay a minimum of 20% on their income. The prospect of slaving away for some globohomo corporation seems pretty dismal given that half of it will probably fall into the hands of the commies like (((DeBlasio))) and (((Cuomo))). Not to mention the fact that office life is the equivalent of a long-term testosterone drain. Appeasing HR roasties for the sake of my livelihood doesn’t sound like the most dignified start to adulthood.
This line of thinking has led me into heavily considering joining the U.S. military. I have some friends who are interested in the Army/Air Force, on the grounds of it as being the last remaining supporters of masculinity in America. The recruiter I’ve been in consult with is about as manly as it gets, and I wouldn’t mind being surrounded by people like this for the next 3 or 4 years. That said, it’s still an American entity, which leads to me think that all that glitters isn't Gold. From what I gather, there have been many changes made recently, which may have compromised the integrity of the entire apparatus.
General:
- Is the military pozzed? If so, which branches specifically? I’ve heard that women are allowed to take on combat roles in the Army these days. In the Middle East. What could possibly go wrong...
- Is the military, as an overall plan, a smart move for a young man in 2020? Or are there better avenues available to becoming a capable man?
- Are the benefits all they’re cracked up to be? What are you actually entitled to? Recruiters glamorize it, and my friends hawk on about the GI bill like it’s the Willy Wonka ticket. My grandfather did use the GI bill to start a family after he was back from WWII, so in a way, I owe my existence to this program. Then again, that was before (((they))) took control...
Ethical:
- Are there moral qualms to fighting for something you don’t believe in? As someone who’s ardently anti-Israel, it would be hard to stomach fighting for the enemy’s benefit.
- How does God feel about man and military service? Especially given the point above.
- Is it right to ship out for a few years, leaving my family behind to fend off the (((forces))) alone? I’m the only male in my family, so it seems like I’ll have to hold down the fort if my forebodings come true. Then again, the military would teach me combat techniques that could be used to protect my community and loved ones.
For those of you who have served, or have family/friends that have served, it would be awesome to hear from you. This could be a pivotal moment in my life - and a 4 year commitment - so I am open to all guidance possible. My boomer parents haven’t been much in the way of help and I could use some authentic masculine direction on this issue. Cheers
