the only reason i wanted to join the army is so I could kill somebody and I had atleast 2 confirmed and was under fire over 30 times. but that was vietnam. 67-68 25th infantry division.
JFK volunteered for military service...I wonder if Hicks thought JFK was 'dumb enough, to want to be in the military?' Interestingly, Hicks has praised JFK in his rants...
WWII... Iraq/Afghanistan... Ya. Big difference there. WWII was in DEFENSE of our allies and ourselves. The Korean War until now have been to sustain the military industrial complex. Get it? Anyone that signs up today is a hired killer, period. Back then they had a cause for war. Now, sustaining the supply of arms is the cause for war.
There was no South Korea until after we destroyed their country and declared a cease fire. It was Korea. And no, they were not our ally, but we did use them, just like we used the Vietnamese.
Can't really make all those weapons and bombs and planes and tanks and flamethrowers and not have someone to use them on. "Defense" makes up 25% of our national budget each year. Most likely was the same or more in Russia. It's all about money.
Saying dissing is childish. You hit the nail on the head though with "defense force". You seriously believe that any war we fought in the last 50 years has been in defense of this country, or in the defense of profits? Which one? Be honest with yourself, it's not that hard.
Bill understood the military is a criminal organization. Under the R.I.C.O. Act, all participants can be tried for the most serious crime comitted by any individual in the organization.
In a way, it's nice to know some of the military is fucking themselves in the ass -instead of the military just ass fucking the general population. NUKE THE FUCKING TROOPS!

i dont find biggoted humor funny. replace military with blacks and killing with stealing thered be alot less views of this, to bad people think anti military bias is ok
You can't replace "military" with "blacks" because people can't choose the color of their skin, while in most decent countries you end up in the military only if you want to.
"Black" (or white, yellow, brown, tall, short, Italian, gay or hetero) is what people *are*. Blanket criticism of these groups if often (always?) racism.
On the other hand "military" (or politician, lawyer, Christian, Muslim, engineer or thief) is what people *do* or *say*. They can choose to be in these groups or not.
I don't see how it's a stereotype. We haven't been threatened by any country since the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. So in other words, we haven't had a need for defense in the last 67 years, but wow, we sure have fought alot of wars since then. So here's what he means, if you volunteer to serve in the military when there is no need for the military, you are a mercenary paid to serve the interests of the military industrial complex, NOT our country. There's really no other way around that.
We were threatened by the soviet union and are facing a large scale international terrorist threat. I would say that the spread of global communism threatened the united states more than the spread of the japanese empire. The military is not just a defense force it's the instrument of foriegn policy same as the police are the instrument of domestic. We have to defens alot of countries ourselves unfortunatley because they'd rather spend their money on other things plus we police the seas.
We were never threatened by the Soviets. It was all propaganda and it was all about money. That's it.
Riggghtt. We only "defend" these people because there is something that our oligarchs want from there. Oil, gold, land, a strategic position or ally that we'll toss to the side after we're done with. I bet you're one of those people that think we're defending Iraq from the evil terrorists. Haha.
Oh and we control the seas? Hmmm. Waste of money in my opinion, but hey, just my opinion.
I can't believe you'd say something like communism and terrorism, which have claimed little to no American lives around 6,000 or so probably in the last 60 years, comapred to Japan, who killed 2000+ just at Pearl Harbor, then around another 300,000 fighting the Pacific Theatre. You tell me which was a bigger threat. Terrorism, a small group of rag tags with bombs? Or a country of millions of people, with their own tanks, planes, bombs so on. You're blinded by modern propaganda. Wake up.
@bweazel without getting way to deep here, werent the vietnamese communists, and didnt they kill nearly 60,000 people? now of course a world war is a bigger threat than a few terrorists with boxcutters, i dont think anyone claims otherwise? the concern is with weapons of mass destruction since you dont need many planes or armies to inflict massive damage extremely quickly

I don`t agree that everyone who wants to be in the military should be allowed
A Country must have a strong army to fight and defend itself.
In England they have Gay people in the army and it`s allowed but you don`t have to be like Chris Crocker though
