Do you know anybody who is considering military service? Well, here are some caveats about going into the service voluntarilly: 1. you relinquish all your rights under the Bill of Rights when you sign up for service under this "dictatorship" not true, actually you gain more PROTECTION than non military when serving overseas 2. military recruiters are renowned liars who will promise you "the Brooklin Bridge deed' for signing up Your own personal opinon 3. the US military is super ANTI-GUN (much. much more than the civilian sector): if you value your gun rights, you might want to think twice about volunteering for that crap If you are stationed in the U.S. then you fall under your State Laws regarding gun control. And with my job I am authorized to carry a firearm on a plane (commercial flights), in the White House, Pentagon and other areas where firearms are prohibited. 4. you give up much when you sign up, to say the very least: if you want college money, try grants, scholarships and federal student aid first Actually almost all branches of the services offer signing bounes 5. enlisting into the service is stipulated in the form of a legal contract with highly complex fine print: it is not printed in BOLD PRINT on a military enlistment contract that you relinquish virtually all your rights as an American citizen!!! you truly are an idiot Are you typing this from a computer within the U.S.? If you are, then you are welcome. Because if it wasn't for the military then you would be speaking German right now.
