@fongwongchew.don't do it,if excitement is what you are after ,go skydiving or something or join a outdoor survival group...something besides the military.....don't get caught up with the typical youthful vigor you have ,it is decieving,this patriotism we feel and the desire to get whipped into shape by the military will get you killed,or you will come back with sorrow in your heart that will not go away...listen to the old guys about killing people,i know you feel invincible ,i was once young 2

@iam1inamil yes, but don't be a goat listening to conspiracies, you will never know their veracity. Be against the war, not the warrior.

@sushidude123 ......not about killing people ?......look at freedom of information releases about gulf of tonkin incident....the powers that be, lied and said the viet cong fired on our ships....all lies to get us into wars ....its all about the money ...our young impressional youth is given in exchange for bankers profits....they own the war building machine.....young people know nothing of the whole picture....exactly what is needed for control of the soldiers

@sushidude123 .........look at all the false flag lies america has used to get into wars....you can start with the gulf of tonkin incident.......freedom of information act shows we lied ,and the viet gong did not shoot at our ships ....the powers that be staged it so we could go into vietnam

[iam1inamil]

i would have loved this as a kid but now i realize that the military uses[demands] young impressional people who they eventually can be used to benefit the warmonger/profiteers......so many young men enlist during a frenzy of patriotic events such as 9/11 not having a clue about history[the real history] of lies the government [our gov] has used to start wars in order to boost the economy ,or more justly put boost the bankers profits from the military industrial complex,...@remember nazi youth!

This is c/2ndLt Swanson of the CAP from texas wing. Id say the young marines are just about even in structure and order. The physical aspect of young marines certainly looks challenging, but boyh organizations have their ups and downs. And yes while the CAP is the auxiliary of the USAF it only maintains that status when it is on an AF assigned mission and when operating on an AF assigned mission number. So if we aren't on a mission assigned by the AF, then we are just CAP. Equal to the young ma
