why dont they talk about the successful people that cam out of the military..why only focus on the negatives..arent they doing the same thing that they say the recruiters are doing..only telling you what they want you to know?? that seems a bit hypocritical to me

[kingsalamander123]

i can see what theyre saying, but if you go military for the money, youre joining for the wrong reason.

[wutownwrassler]

How about they tell people about the staggering amounts of un-successful people that come out of the military, and how the military does nothing for you and how you get shit on by society and the military. The truth is the military is needed, however radical changes to how the military treats its members are also needed.

@jasonbournetodie I agree war is never easy but someones gotta do it, i'm ready to die for United States of America if it comes to that 11x w/40 as well HOOAH!!!

[tiochuco]

First of all someones gotta do this job and i am pretty sure people know when they enlist they can face a certain grim fate like death or worst lose limbs. but me personally i am whiling to face those consequence in order to keep this beautiful country safe and its people. if we don't have people serve in the military the US would not be free and have its way of life, have we forgotten about WW2, Pearl Harbor, 9/11,Our enemies are not hesitating to join there military.think about that!!!

what about the people who came out very successful, more people come out great then this, this video is only focusing on the bad, people there is more good in the military then what these people are trying to tell you. some people just aren't cut out for the military...

I hope you know when you sign the papers, they ARE telling you that they will do what they need to do. And that injury or death may happen. They died. It sucks. But they died because you guys are to busy making hate videos about it. Your right if we retreat from Iraq then we will save lives over there. But that will also cost us lives in the United States. It's your family and friends or someone who has the mindset of "oh well if I die I get 72 virgins. Hell I might even blow my self up". Yes s

not to be an ass hole, but i could give a shit about the money, i want to join to serve my country.....

[doctormoose6]

I wouldn't join the military for the benefits, the money, or to be treated like a king. I'd join to serve my country.

[sa5spurs]

Fuck this country

[xxElementOnexx]

Why is it such a big shock when people find out there is a possibility of death/injury when joining the military? 

[darkwindow31]

How stupid are these people that they still keep believing our government. Forgot what the government did to john f Kennedy
