As far as I am concerned if you want to enlist regardless what country you are from. Then by all means go for it and good luck. If you go into it with a positive attitude then you will like most of it. Go into it under any other preconceptions and you probably won't like it. The military is not for everyone that's why I never judge anyone that either doesn't want to do it or can't for what ever reason. So I say go for it if that's what you really want to do.

Does a person stop being a human once they've been elected into political office? Humanity is and has always been a terrifying force of greed an destruction. Every single one of us wants more than we need, it's why any sort of social / cultural advancement has ever existed. Some are willing to share their new skills with others while some would rather just horde it for themselves. Most idealists really like the idea of sharing common rewards but despise the idea of sharing common responsibility especially for incidents or events that 'they're not responsible for' - like the focused reflection of their own greed within their government. Seriously, recognize that your ex was an idiot and chose to join the military for about the wrongest reasons possible and that as a result of that idiotic choice his perspective and reflections on the matter are skewed. That's not to say there are no atrocities ever committed, no person, group, or nation has ever been perfect, but from what you've said he's nowhere near wise enough to grasp the justified unpleasant realities of some of the bigger pictures most leaders need to face. That doesn't mean all leaders are wise or they somehow gain unprecedented knowledge upon winning an election either, that's kind of the point of campaigning and trying to figure out who the real sharp one is and which one is just BS-ing their way to the top. And please don't reply back to me before addressing Freebase's concerns. |

It's a big change that will most definitely change your life. Although it will be almost nothing like what you think going in (at least it was in my experience).
On most days I say it's a great idea, if you apprach it informed and mentally prepared, you'll find yourself coasting right along. I joined up in the Navy almost 4 years ago and have been all over, seen tons of things, and have made a lot of personal sacrifices along the way. If you decide it's something you want to do, please PM me for advice on specifics, I'm more than happy to help. ESPECIALLY IF YOU DECIDE NAVY, I can give you advice to make your life as easy as possible. Good luck.
