You're problem is reality! Most kids join the military because of a misguided patriotic idealism they've been brainwashed with their whole life, because they come from a "military family" for what that's worth, they can't find a job, have no skills, are troublemakers, gun nuts, bullys and on and on. The military (and society) wants us all to believe the hype about "a few good men" "leadership",etc, etc but the reality is they want dumb, young, easily impressionable kids they can mold into robotic killing machines and then abandon they when they wake up or get discharged. There's really no difference about how religion works it's same "magic" on the young, easily fooled church members and how the military does the same thing on its recruits. One would expect strongly reliefs people to also be strongly militarily oriented, and you prove the point!

Typical AMC; I guess you are forgetting that this country pumps in "militarism: day by day, as well the NRA promotes weapons; then on top of it the media promotes killing via the "games"," series" all the time. But the kids are told not to kill otherwise you go to jail; however the "hero's on TV always get rewarded the more they kill the bigger the hero. this is a very sick country; including people like AMC who promotes killing blessed by his own little "god". No wonder kids want to join a group who shoot at everything without restrictions; the squirels, cats, possums are already shot dead so they want some real targets. Love the mentality here; again I repeat look at the serie on PBS "Loosing Iraq" then you get the real picture of dirty politics and a murderous army. No wonder a large percentage come back home as a vegetable or total nuts.

PGR right on; miltarism in this country has become a national shame; looks like the Hitler Jugend all over again. Check out the series "Losing Iraq" on PBS and the Bush/Rumsfeld push to get things his way regardless of killing hundreds of thousands civilians. The chickens have now come home to roost costing us (until now) another 424 million since the new air attacks started; with what results? They will only hate us some more.

Thanks "Schmidt", as a matter of fact you can't blame the "army" itself; a lot has to do with our militaristic culture as well our leaders. Often modern wars are "far" from "me" killings; one missile from a plane can kill dozens, but the pilot does not see the "dead"; that makes our modern killing methods so hypocritical. Sorry to say there are no "hero's" in our present wars; killing without being attacked yourself is pure murder, especially in countries which you don't know, but soldiers are being told to go there by our fantastic leaders and raise hell.
Pls note as well; some of the " bad recruits" may have ended up in our police force by now!!

The Guardian, 31 August 2012: The modern US army: unfit for service?
"Gone are the days of the all-American army hero. These days, the US military is more like a sanctuary for racists, gang members and the chronically unfit."
The author, of course, has cherry picked some bad recruits to write about, but I know that many soldiers do not fit this stereotype. It doesn't take too many bad apples though before everyone gets a bad name.
Read the article. It is rather long but revealing. ====================
Unfit for service......very good article. Not just Nazi's, Skin heads, and gang members but also people put in jail are given a chance to get out by joining the military. The few, the proud, the misfits who comprise our military. Some will put them on the tallest platform but the truth is hard to deny.
