From my experience it is often people want to chase the feelings associated with the things they want. Men dont want a GT2 RS they want the feeling of liberational, status and some sense of 'on tilt'. As for you I think you just want that feeling of fighting, camradery, a semi complex senairo to test your wit, strengh curage and endurance in. There are plenty of place in the world that still invite this, hell even civie jobs.
Yeah I remember being 16 too. Stick to milsim dude.
Eh, it was kinda cool to watch from a distance but the reason we were over there was kinda retarded.
Also, fuck Blackwater. They ruined contracting for everyone else.
No lol it was retarded and led to the extreme cuckery and demoralization that we have now with lefties, Maganaggers and Tankies absolutely everywhere. OIF literally made being anti-American normal in America only a decade or so after we hit our highest point with the end of Russian commie empire. Only zoomers think this retardation was cool and even than its contrarianism or muh aesthetics.
Seconded.
Myself,British Airborne,at the time,in Iraq.
Even we heard,that the USMC had a very hard fight on their hands in Fallujah.
As the age old saying goes ‘be very careful what you wish for’.
Become a mercenary. Do some army work for money+privileges and then transfer to a mercenary group once your contract is up, if you don't wanna do soldiering anymore you can still become a private security contractor or weapon class trainer and make bank.
Anon I didn't join and fight during OIF. My dad was drafted and fought in Vietnam. My good friend from high school dropped out of college and fought in Fellujah. He said it really fucking sucked and he saw lots and lots of death. He fucked his back up pulling a dying friend out of a door way. Believe my friend Kevin.... Fellujah was filled with bad juju.
>zoomers feeling nostalgic about not being deployed to Iraq
Is this how boomers feel when they hear retards talk about how they wished they were in Vietnam?
Was in the Infantry for eight fucking years. Enlisted in 2015 and got blue balled hard in Korea when Trump first assumed office. My entire battalion was on the DMZ, the frago had already been dropped by the battalion commander. Companies were no shit giving orders over terrain models of how shit would go down if Kim tested another nuke. Every single person thought it was actually gonna go down. It never did. We got to drink a bit in Pohang before leaving but that was it. Next rotation was to Africa, got tasked to be on standby to Assist with the withdraw from Syria, order never came. Spent my second contract binge drinking and being an asshole. I don’t regret enlisting. But I seen too many homosexuals with CARs who acted like Medal of Honor recipients when in reality they were most of the time just participation awards like almost every other medal or ribbon in the USMC. Not to mention the boot fucks in 2/1 who wanted to act hard because they went to Afghanistan for two weeks and blew up. Shit just always pissed me off. I’ve been ready to stack bodies since I was born
This is my greatest fear that keeps me from enlisting. I would gladly give up my aimless comfy life to go stack bodies and get IED'd in some shithole, but the thought of doing exactly what I do now but with worse pay and slightly less masturbation fills me with dread.
Same, I remember being in high school and the army guys telling me about how none of them had ever seen combat and I immediately feared it’d be nothing like the stories I heard about during WW2 or Nam. It’d be like having a wagie lifestyle 24/7 except worse.
Why the fuck would you want to fight in WW2 or Nam? So you could watch your friend get blown up and possibly get maimed yourself in a kino setting? Serving your country when it needs you is your duty but it’s not exactly a fun one.
Any war of aggression is not your duty to take part in.
The only wars that are your duty to fight are when your lands are being invaded personally.
Otherwise not your problem
Dont feel bad. I joined the Amy in 2011 and as a medic was fully expecting at least one deployment. For 12 years NOT FUCKING ONE. I kept on getting assigned to units that were doomed to never deploy. Made me salty because I was ready and feel like my training and knowlege was wasted doing dumb shit in garrison forever.
>Made me salty because I was ready and feel like my training and knowlege was wasted doing dumb shit in garrison forever.
Best fucking way to explain it. So much institutional knowledge gets lost like this. But that’s the way shit goes. Can’t fight one war forever I guess.
It's funny how things have reversed. I grew up in the 80s and 90s and the idea of a US soldier actually firing a weapon in anger in a real war was like a far fetched fantasy. Sure there was the short Gulf War and peacekeeping in the Balkans but that was seen as just the Air Force dropping bombs for a few weeks. My generation joined the military just for the fun of it and a few benefits without thinking they would ever actually have to fight. Now it's totally the other way around.
i met one of those reservist homosexuals that were part of task force southwest who got ambushed in like late 2018. almost like the taliban targeted them because they knew they were fuck up reservists. kid was a little scrawny shithead trying to claim PTSD and get out with 100% disability. anyway OP, go find a job that's dangerous. i got over my combat kink by working on a fishing job in alaska. statistically more dangerous than soldiering and i make 6 figures in my 20s.
I never served because I have family that served and told me all about the horrors of what they saw and did. They're not pussies and were fighting some sick fucks for a good reason doing it out of love for country and their fellow man but it still wasn't a fun time. I'd rather listen to them and appreciate being able to live in peace, but for everyone else that does want to stack bodies there'll always be an opportunity besides the rare few that do serve and train and just never get deployed although that has to be a mental hell in and of itself preparing for it for so long and then not getting the chance.
Yeah, no. My friend lost one leg above the knee and the other below. The VA just wanted to give a 23 year old who lost his legs "for his country" some sticks but the Semper Fi foundation or whatever got him some powered robo legs. But hey he got to shake Obama's hand at the hospital!
Then I worked for a law firm in Albuquerque where we represented a LOT of Iraq war vets in criminal cases because they were all severely fucked up mentally and physically. Fuck all of it. Spent a lot of our free time at that firm trying to help vets get the resources they needed because the government fucked them.
>deploy to Iraq with the 502nd in 2005 >unit is severely undermanned and stretched thin >can’t properly patrol sector so we get hit with IED’s multiple times a week >live in a filthy outpost where we sleep on the dirt floor and shit in a hole in the ground >get about 25 hours of sleep per week if we’re lucky >when we’re not on patrol we’re doing constant manual labor >local population hates us because of shit the previous unit did before we were even deployed >half the platoon is popping amphetamines and drinking illegal Iraqi whiskey to deal with the stress >see mutilated corpses on a weekly basis, some of them children
Fast forward to today
>zoomers wish they could’ve been there because the uniforms look KINO and you could shoot guns like in CALL OF DUTY
This shit happens with every generation with every war going back to the dawn of time and will continue so long as humanity continues to have wars (so FOREVER)
There were probably peasant levees in the Old Egyptian Kingdom who cried and shidded and WISHED day and night that they could have been at the Battle of Khadesh
>>get about 25 hours of sleep per week if we’re lucky
most people probably will glance over that, but honestly one of the worst parts about Iraq was only getting 4 or 5 hours of sleep a night.
made everything else 10x as miserable and also seemed so surreal like nothing was actually happening and it was all just a terrible nightmare.
You can have an interesting life experience without doing a 15 month combat deployment. Join the Navy and spend 4 years living in San Diego or Japan. Join the Army and learn how to repel down a cliff at Mountain Warfare School. Deployments are the shittiest part of being in the military and combat deployments are a double helping dog shit.
I beg of you american bros to make something like an Operation Brazilian Freedom, please come to my country and straighten this shit up. I wouldn't even be mad if your soldiers killed me, since I'm a brazilian I'd deserve it anyway, as long as you fix this shit it's worth it.
You would be fucking retarded to join the military at this point. 10 years ago, maybe, but now? Fuck no.
My friends that are still in all say it's terrible, then I see photos and they are surrounded by naggers, Hispanics, and women. Is that really who you want to serve next to?
I deployed to iraq as 11b 09-10. Last combat unit in Iraq. I was the FNG but most of the guys had been multiple x. The hardest dude in our platoon was in the OG falluja with the marines. His name was tanner but they called him the T1000. Super soldier status. After our bunk ass deployment he shot himself few months after returning.
I wish I was there for different reasons. Iraq is where civilization began, it's name comes from Uruk, one of the first cities. Babylon was there, Abraham and his forefathers roamed that land as nomads, mighty kings like Gilgamesh and Nebuchadnezzar rose and fell there. Troops of Egypt, Persia, Assyria trod there to the beat of the war drums. Alexander was there.
This wasn't lost on our troops. American soldiers visited the ruins, scaled the steps of the Ziggurat of Ur. It was legendary, warriors of the most powerful nation in the history of man walking the land that the first men walked. Walking as conquerors, like those first men were so many thousands of years ago. Walking in the steps of the other great armies of mighty empires. I can only imagine how it felt, reliving and making history with your very footsteps.
Something about controlling the cradle of mankind just kinda cements it. And yeah, I know about the whole "out of Africa" theory thing, but I figure that if people started building cities and civilization there first, we probably didn't evolve much further from there. In any case, it's the cradle of human civilization.

it was really amazing, and something I'll certainly never forget. I don't think anyone else in my platoon understood where they were or what they were seeing, but I tried to educate them while we were there on the significance.
The thing I remembered most was in the nearby ruins there was a wine cellar or basement and I went in with a few guys and then I stayed behind alone and just sat there in complete silence thinking about how that room was constructed 1000's of years ago, it was like I could feel something across time. Never experienced anything like it and I've been to plenty of other historical sites in the US.
It must've been electric. I've been to Rome before, and Pompeii. But that was just tourist crap. Something about being out there on your own just seems like it'd be a much different feeling. Easier to see through the eyes of the ancients.

Amerimutt is proud to destroy thousand years artefacts for their israeli overlords. I’m glad you are about to expire, as you don’t realise that event marked the begginingnof your demise.
And yet this mutt feels so intelligent and unique because he vibed in the ruins.
Jealous that Ukraine doesn't have any ancient ruins to vibe in, eh Ivan?

Historical in the US and historical in Iraq are an order of magnitude different

Yeah, it would be quite hard to find something from 1000 years ago in the US.
I remember when it felt like we would always be in the Middle-East, and that desert camo was just normal camo at that point. Now that we aren't over there it feels bizarrely nostalgic to me whenever I look at photos and video from Iraq and Afghanistan.
war is not fun dude.
movies and video games are not real life.
the vets here are all telling you how awful it is.
And iraq wasnt even a bad war.
you need to real some great power war books too to know what it is.

You're definitely in time for the ground invasion of Gaza, which will make Fallujah look like a joke. However, idk why you would want to ever be in such a situation, picrel
What do you mean by "another fallujah"? Talking ablut American operations or some other country?
Something like Fallujah. Us doing shit like that again. Maybe somewhere else in the world.
From my experience it is often people want to chase the feelings associated with the things they want.
