Is money wasted in a large bureaucratic organization? Yes.

Is it a waste of money to guarantee the security of a nation and provide freedom of trade to the test of the world? Hmm.

No we're literally a huge waste of money. We essentially do nothing productive all day

My favourite quotes

“Aim towards the Enemy.” - Instruction printed on U.S. Rocket Launcher “When the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is not our friend.” - U.S. Army “Cluster bombing from B-52s is very, very accurate. The bombs are guaranteed to always hit the ground.” - U.S.A.F. Ammo Troop “If the enemy is in range, so are you.” - Infantry Journal “A slipping gear could let your M203 grenade launcher fire when you least expect it. That would make you quite unpopular in what’s left of your unit.” - Army’s magazine of preventive maintenance “It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed.” - U.S. Air Force Manual “Try to look unimportant; they may be low on ammo.” - Infantry Journal “Tracers work both ways.” - U.S. Army Ordnance “Five-second fuses only last three seconds.” - Infantry Journal “Bravery is being the only one who knows you’re afraid.” - Col. David Hackworth “If your attack is going too well, you’re probably walking into an ambush.” - Infantry Journal “No combat-ready unit has ever passed inspection.” - Joe Gay “Any ship can be a minesweeper … once.” - Anonymous “Never tell the Platoon Sergeant you have nothing to do.” - Unknown Army Recruit “Don’t draw fire; it irritates the people around you.” - Your Buddies (And lastly) “If you see a bomb technician running, try to keep up with him.” - U.S. Ammo Troop

So as a division officer to nearly 60 sailors over 3 years. I asked every single one. “What made you join the Navy?” Here is the breakdown. 80% - To pay for college 10% - To get out of a bad family situation 5% - Family Tradition 5% - Because of 9/11.

If we eliminate economic coercion, we might have a truly volunteer military.

What? Go to the Marine Corps. Go to the army. Go to the actual fighting forces. Ask them why they joined. Less than 5% are there for college. All of them are there because they want to be. There are way fucking easier ways to pay for college and health care than an enlistment. What the fuck. I don’t get worked up much, but this shit irked me for some reason. Don’t use the military service of people defending this country as a plug to push your agenda on college and health reform. What the fuck.

No fucking shit. I had a full ride to any school I wanted just for academics. I'm in the marine corps infantry for a reason. And its not be cause of fucking money. My pay got cut in more than half enlisting

I’ll reblog this every time I see it, because there’s something about burly beardy bikers giving help and companionship to a small hurt kitten that makes the world a little bit better.
