Default I'm in the Military!

I've been in for two months and for does that are interested in the Swedish military can take a look at our webbpage Vakten.se (sorry only swedish at the moment, click at media for pictures)
and Soldf.com for general info.

It's realy cool and more will come upp on our cool webbpage.


Is there any similary webbpages for foreign military?
THAT wound be cool to have all does links collected at the same place, huh?

(I can replay anythink for about two weeks, sorry)

Hi GPT,

Well there are some of us that RESPECT those who choose to defend. I am one. in the US, depending on if you are Navy, Army, Air Force, Marine, or Coast Guard. there are web sites for all.
Aviation Now is a well updated site, as well as some shipmakers sites, "Northrop-Grummen". Stay out of harms way, ie: watchyerbut, or is it CYA.

Chris

Artists (any kind of artists) give reason for them, for everyone actually, to live.

If only professional standing armies were used to defend, I'd agree with you.

@ TPG,

"What about people who join to "shoot up some towelheads"?"



Never met one of those, and I lived and worked in a city that had a base in it. BTW, were you born prejudice or did you have to work at it?

@QuikSanz
(just to balance it up)
""What about people who join to "shoot up some Westerners"?"




I`ve never seen the appeal of killing, or even being killed...(Er, apart from alien scum)

Perhaps the pricks I've met on the internet are too cowardly to actually voice their reasons for signing up in person. Certainly where I come from, a lot of racists seem interested in joining the forces and go in with this attitude.

I was challenging the idea that everyone who's in the military is all about noble defense, and your comment "some of us RESPECT those who choose to defend..."

I have a perfectly natural dislike of the military, it respresents conflict and is not purely a defense measure, if it was I'd consider it a necessary evil.

No effort required.

Killing leaves a bad taste in your mouth and it's one that will never go away. :-( Regardless of whether it was 'confirmed' or not, you will remember and it will never leave you. I speak from experience here. :-( :-(

Of course, killing alien scum that kidnaps our women, for their own sadistic pleasures, that's different.

'Those alien {bleep}s are gonna pay for shooting up my ride!'

God, I hope we get Bush out of office this year...

'Strong leadership in times of change...' That has got to be the BIGGEST Political BS I have ever seen.


Armies were created to defend countries during war, not to start them. Shame that the President technically has executive order over the Army for 6 months before congress HAS to get involved.


@GMT,

Congrads for having the strength to defend the values you believe in.
:-D

Hi,

@TPG,

I don't think useing the term "towel head has anything to do with dislike for the military".

@Blobrana,

Never met one of those either. The people I've talked to don't even expect to go to war. They join to learn a trade and get funds for College. I don't know where you people get your "sky is falling attitude".
There are actually some good people out there. You must live in an awfull place.

Chris
