@ejdf870 those guys obviously didn't use the army for all the benefits it could have given them. but ye for the most part i think goal oriented behavior and discipline help people out a lot in life. and the people who need the army aren't the ones who had good parents that taught them responsibility. but smart poor people can also benefit from the army. it does pay for college, and a short stint as an officer can get you a good degree.

@greycloud24 I agree with you if you're saying that the military is a great place to learn disciple and build character. The problem is that I've met too many guys who did 4 years in the military that are working as security guards making $12 an hour.

@thisgame2 congratulations on your success. not everyone has your insider knowledge nor your skills. however just about anyone can take their dead end life and go to the army for a little bit of refocusing. if someone is down in the dumps and doesn't know how to get out, i suggest the military as a good answer. it will change the way you look at your problems, and it will teach you to overcome them. a good attitude isn't something that everyone is born with.

@thisgame2 nope, if it weren't for the army i would have never made it into college. its the choice for those who have few other options. when you grow up and figure out that not everyone has life handed to them on a silver platter let me know.

If we keep sending jobs overseas at the rate we're going, college graduates will be flipping burgers.

don't worry everyone, tom will drop dead in a few years, he's only about 500 pounds now. even though he's rich, his arteries don't know that

I never flipped burgers or worked as a greeter at Wal-Mart.
I worked as an inserter for a daily newspaper right out of high school.
I had a volunteer gig during college reading news at a University radio station.
I was a radio board operator out of college.
Now, I am a writer, freelance and have been for years.
I have to say I agree with Tom to a certain extent.
A number of people don't have the brains and/or willpower to have real careers.
So, they have shit jobs-feel sorry for them.

@sasquatch13ja "suck to be you" is such a douche phrase, douche!
My point is the Prices went up, Men's salaries did NOT! Women entered the workplace and made conventional marriage obsolete, women have no responsibilities nowadays, women have no wifely qualities: can't cook, can't clean properly, can't dress appropriately, can't fix a flower arrangement to save their lives, can't paint, can't spell, can't read, can't apply makeup properly(look like racoons) too much hair coloring, shabby trashy jeans and the list goes on and on!

Allot of what Tom says is common sense. But sometimes you need to hear it.
