    That's a dodge to the question.

    What is life worth if your unwilling to risk it for what you believe?

    Everyone's life is of equal importance.

    Be it the poor peasant in Mexico desiring a better life in the United States, who risks his life to journey to the north in search of that goal or even yours sitting in a comfortable spot in a free western nation that values your life as much as it values the lives of all other citizens of that nation.

    Edit: Actually I value that poor peon who comes to the United States legally or illegally to improve his live more then I value the pompous ass that you just made of yourself with that statement.

    I value those lives as much as I value my own.

    I doubt that very much.

    Your confusing personal belief with something else.

    Other then the pompass ass comment direct at yourself - no hypocrisy is present.

    how are you above him? Do you think shooting up philosphy books of old dead white men from the 19th century makes you smart? Well if it helps you sleep at night knowing you are so above everyone else
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Redleg, if you can't see the hypocricy in your posts then it is not politically correct for me to insult you anymore.

    As for you... do you prefer NOT reading philosophy, or do you prefer reading philosophy written by live black men? I don't know what you are saying at all.

    Heredatery ignorance always amuses me, even if I have to take some shots. Well done guys.

    In other words there is no hypocricy in the post. Tsk Tsk. It seems your a racist and your assuming others are to.

    As for you... do you prefer NOT reading philosophy, or do you prefer reading philosophy written by live black men? I don't know what you are saying at all.

    It seems your ignorance is far greater then Strikes.

    It just depends on what you like. Personally, if your looking for a career in medicine, the Navy has the most credibility and best training. If you want to get down and dirty go for the USMC, if you want a little mixture of both the Army is good option, or if you really don't feel like doing anything at all join the Airforce! (JK).

    I was going to go into the military about a year back, and I backed out of it after I had gone through MEPS (partly due to a shoulder injury and partly due to my recruiter telling me I could do one thing, and the MEPS officer telling me I couldn't) I wanted to go into Airborne as a Combat Medic, but because of my shoulder injury they said I couldn't even be infantry (and my recruiter was telling me all the time that I could do it even though he was fully aware of my shoulder). I was just sick of the all the BS at that point, and I opted to go to college instead

    In the Navy, you can sail the seven seas...
    It was not theirs to reason why,
    It was not theirs to make reply,
    It was theirs but to do or die.
    -The Charge of the Light Brigade - Alfred, Lord Tennyson

    "Wherever this stone shall lie, the King of the Scots shall rule"
    -Prophecy of the Stone of Destiny

    "For God, For King and country, For loved ones home and Empire, For the sacred cause of justice, and The freedom of the world, They buried him among the kings because he, Had done good toward God and toward his house."
    -Inscription on the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior

    If you want to be a true bad@ss, join the air force and become a red beret. They're pararescue; when everyone else screws up, it's their job to go in and save the day. They bandage the mess-ups and kill anyone who gets in the way.
