Fucking savages! Fuckers are playing around with his M4, show his military ID up close,  terrible! Why doesnt this enrage soo many people? How is Harry Potter and Disney more important than this?!? When are we gonna stop pussy-footing around with these pieces of shit? We need to stomp these people off the face of the earth, god damn! How can people forget 9/11 so quickly? Does anyone else just want to take up arms and take care of things themselves?

Damn im pissed

Perhaps the entire 2 hour Al Qaeda video should be played in America or would that be counter productive??

There are days when I want to just exterminate islam from the world. We'd be better off without it. Look at everything "the religion of peace" has done to the shitholes it's prevelent in and look what it's done to the rest of the world.

Most of the time I stop and think "that isn't fair to the muslims who aren't shithead terrorists, militant dictators, brutal oppressors, and violent bastards".

But frankly, I'm in a darker mood right now.

I saw it on cnn on tv. Sorry if its a dupe. They showed 2 different things: The Navy seal killed(his picture id! ) and his weapons . Then they said they have some new 2 hour training/ the whole reason why were doing this video. If someone has either please put up a link. Ill check bittorrent for them.

And whats stopping me from joining? Time. I figure with the leadership skills i have naturally, i'll make a bigger and better difference if i join the Marine Corps as an officer rather than enlisting. Its just a matter of time to finish school. Semper Fi Society now, but seeing this shit makes me not want to wait any longer to join the Marines, and THATS killing me.

What unit are you in?  Why haven't you been deployed? (I thought all went at least 1 year every 2...)

Do yourself and your country a favor and finish your degree, get your commission, and then make a difference by displaying leadership and serving as an example to others.

Two years from now, there will still be plenty of Islamist Extremists left to fight.

82nd Airborne.... 3/505 PIR

Parts of the 82nd have deployed while I have been here... just not the part that I'm in.  Not really sure why in the past, but now its because they are making my battalion a recon/surveillence/target acquisition squadron so we arent going anywhere until we are trained up for that... but I'll be a recruiter when that happens

I saw that clip and it made my blood boil, especially when they showed the SEAL's ID card.

I feel like a total schmuck with my comfy civvie job and big house etc etc.  I had been seriously considering getting back into LE but more and more I find myself at Goarmy.com

I quit smoking.  I'm back to running 5 miles a day and my weekend hikes with a ruck are getting longer and longer.

I don't care about the cut in pay and I could care less about what my wife thinks.  When I make the decision to go and she doesn't support me...tough shit.

The smart thing for me to do would be to go in as an MP, what with my civillian LE background.  But I am stuck on the 18X option, or finding an ARNG SF unit...which I'd have to move out of state for...also not a big f'in deal.

It's almost like an obession.  The day after I found out about the 18X option was the day I quit smoking and started running again.  I looked at the AFPT requirements and set goals for myself.  I  joined an orienteering club to work on land nav.  I'm waiting on my "Get Selected for SFAS" book to arrive from WarriorMentor.  I have zero prior mil experience and I am 31.  One way or another, either AD or ARNG, I am going to do it.

The only hang-up I have is fucked-up credit from my divorce and if that keeps me out of SF, so be it.  It's something that I have always wanted to challenge myself with.

Edit: For the "shut-up and call the recruiter crowd already"  - I was informed about the 18X program by a guy I work with who is prior service.  He put me in touch with a recruiter who gave me the advice about getting into shape for selection and working on my land nav before commiting.  He's also the one who suggested the WarriorMentor book.  I'm following the words of the BTDTs in order to square myself away for 18X and SFAS.

danco

I have a medical problem that would stop me from joining
BUT
I spent 20 years working on UK Military Jets. We are engineers and never see the front lines but without us the birds don't fly.
When the birds take off we feel part of the battle and we are proud of our efforts

And when we see the weapon platforms dropping ordanance in theatre we have very big smiles on our faces.

Not all of us can serve on the front lines but please dont put down those of us who can only help indirectly.

And I thank every one of you who out there at the sharp end

I thought that recruiting was voluntary?  You just have to ask to leave?

But I am probably thinking Nat. Guard.  It is a different world.

If you can be a good recruiter . . . you can make a world of difference as to who makes it out to the sharp end and that is a tougher thing to do than actually going to the sharp end.  Just ask the recruiters what they would rather do; recruit or go back to combat.

There may be certain leadership traits that come naturally -- but that is a long way from being a good leader in the military.  Can you keep your head and give commands when mortars are coming in, or will you cower in a foxhole with soiled drawers?  Do you understand the chain of command?  Do you know when to defer to a sergeant who has BTDT and take his advice, and not see it as a threat to your authority?  Can you read a map?  etc.
