They prodded around there a bit at first but I don't think that they really wanted my ass. Then again, they DID ask if we were homosexuals during enlistment in-processing. :/

Royal Tenenbaum "Fuck the military man. What a crock of shit. I should have stuck to selling crack."

But, if you went to jail, you'd be being fucked up the crack.

Horrible
Tibbs,
Thanks for squaring me away. I had no idea. Really.

As for me, my enslavement began after living a childhood of poverty and crime. I began smoking crack and knocking off liquor stores as a youth in order to feed myself and my family. As a result of my day job, I didn't have time to go tos chool and educate myself.

The next thing I know my parole officer is bringing by a recruiter telling me about how I'm going to be driving a Lexus and sporting a throw back 76ers jersey in a matter of months if I just sign up, plus he promised to drop all the armed robbery charges.

Next thing I know I'm sitting in the Middle East being forced to rape children, shank women, and pulvarize inncoent Iraqis. All the while I still haven't got my ride or a tight throwback jersey.

Fuck the military man. What a crock of shit. I should have stuck to selling crack.

Royal Tenenbaum If Bush wins again you all deserves this draft.

Perndog General Issue. As in, just another inventory item.

EDIT: Yeah, Boogie's right.
Feb 23rd, 2004 06:10 PM
El Blanco uh, Tibbs, I think that was sarcasm.

Also, does anyone else know what the GI in GI Joe stands for?

It ain't General Infantry.
Feb 23rd, 2004 05:32 PM
Sergeant_Tibbs No, I knew that once I signed that piece of paper I was government property and all that crap. Also the recruiter is my brother so I've already heard all of his "lies" when he tells them to other people. And since I'm sitting here typing a reply to your post that means I can read and am therefore not illiterate. You should know too that it's illegal for a judge to not sentence you if you join the military.
Feb 23rd, 2004 02:39 PM

Hmm
I bet the only reason you did is because you were lied to by all that is evil in this world, the recruiter, and you were probably illiterate and poverty stricken. Choosing between poverty and servitude is no real choice, after all.

I bet further that if that does not apply to you, you were likely a criminal who was given the option to either die for freedom or serve out your sentence in jail.

You poor poor bastard.

Quote:
have you ever been in the military blanco?
No, but does that mean I don't know what "volunteer" means?

Quote:
it is true that many people realize what it really means to volunteer now.. its volunteering for enslavement..
Do you know the defenitions of "volunteer" and "enslavement"?

Quote:
they don't really tell you till you do something wrong or feel uncomfortable about getting a new untested vaccination that once you sign up you are considered government "property," they can massively fuck you over and you cannot sue for any damages.
You know what? I knew a lot of that shit because I was smart enough to ask people already in the military.

Quote:
not only that but they lie to you at the recruiters
Gee, you mean that video about the Rangers getting all the parades and shit was a selling point? Whoah, that just knocked me off my seat.

Quote:
.. many folks that go in the military are acting out of desparation.. poverty or servitude.. it's not really a choice.
Yes, it is. You just said they sign up. If they are in such dire straights, are you honestly saying it is wrong for the military to offer that option?



Quote:
and blanco most folks that sign up usually think they will be fighting for democracy or a reasonable government policy,
Wait, I thought they were all poor, desperate souls with no choice. What does democracy have to do with that?

Quote:
when they find out it aint so they realize thier mistake but, hah, there's no turning back.
Gee, imagine that, choices having consequences.

Quote:
if they gave you a choice after you signed up i'd agree with you that it wasnt enslavement.
"Uh, sir, I just found out that I might fight and die and shit. Can you let me out now?" You understadnabout the contract you sign, right?

Quote:
one thing i know for sure, when i was in the service i felt like a slave, how about you?
Well, for one thing, when I mentioned I wanted to enlist, I had a ton of relatives and other people with military experience give me their personal stories and views. Oddly enough, I somehow didn't think the guy the Army paid to try and sign me up was going to be 100% objective.

But, I'm wierd like that.

Quote:

ask a hundred vietnam vet volunteers if they felt like an inmate or not.
They had no idea what a military was all about?

Quote:
oh, and how to pay for the new draftees? hmm, maybe they'll cut more social sevices or the veterans adminstration budget again. they also have no problem dropping coverage on an injured vet after they discharge them. hah, 'disabled in the va.. um, stand in that line over there and wait.. we'll get to you sometime this year. '
Do me a favor and point out exactly where I said I favored a concscripted military. I want to know, because I clearly mispoke in that case.

My original points were how the new draft bill would die, just like all the other ones that were brought up in every session of Congress.

Sergeant_Tibbs Ha ha! I beat the draft by enlisting last month
