Are military people crazy or insane?

Robert

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

-- John Stewart Mill

Crazy or insane? No.
Better man? Absolutely.

hector

no....they make more sense than people on crack.

They are patriotic, brave, proud, and honorable.
Terrorists don't like them.

The military can be a very good life. I was raised in the AF and didn't mind it at all. It was rather interesting and fun.

It is not for everybody however... after being raised in it, I served my 4 years and got out.

I still enjoy visiting bases and talking to military members.

My only complaint is those on active duty, having to put up with the crap dished out by many civilians.

kingstubborn

No, they are not.

Chris J

No, they're principled and proud.

DOOM

neither. We're simply well-trained.

For the most part, military people are dedicated, disciplined, and motivated citizens willing and able to do that which the majority doesn't wish to do.

Miss*Curious

None, they are brave and honorable = )

cawillms

No. Why do you Ask?

Mommymonster

Nope. Disciplined.

joshybear

neither, but they are a little "different"

KoKo

since crazy and insane are the same,and the military is not...hmmm.....I'd say, NOPE!!!

woody

Sweetie

Neither. Why would you ask something like that when our country is at war and there are thousands of men and women out there risking their like for your stupid ***?!?! Very insensitive!

m s

No!
they are in the service for all kinds of reasons.
i like to think they stand on the wall so we can e-mail.

As a veteran, I assume I am biased. Many have sacrificed much more than I for the freedoms we enjoy today. Of course, the military has a different code of honor. I humbly suggest that presently you are enjoying the fruits of their endeavors. Remember that in out nation the politicians make the decisions, the military's role is to carry out those plans.

miksterkhan

neither

blondemom133

not at all. They are very well disciplined and brave..try putting yourself in their position for a day.

I'm sure there is a small % just as there would be in any large Corporation. But on the whole they are very logical people who see things as it is. Some of the most brilliant people I have ever met were in the military, and I've been very fortunate in meetings many people in high level jobs.

I don't think they are all crazy....granted have have a couple of friends who are marines and they are a little nuts but they were that way before the signed up. There is a fine line between what people would call brave and what others would call crazy. I think to do what they do takes a special kind of person and not every is that kind of person.

No they are neither, they are better than most men and women who never served in the military. These are the people who care what could happen to our country, and they are there to make sure we still have a place to live and we can do the things that we want to in life on a daily basis.

Everyone should salute a veteran and thank them for what you have today.

Well there not the sharpest tools in the shed to even join up but that is one of the requirements to not think to much and do as your told.

Some thirty million adults in the U.S. do not have the skills to perform even the most basic tasks such as adding numbers on a bank slip, identifying a place on a map, or reading directions for taking a medication. Eleven million Americans are totally illiterate in English.
Only twenty-nine percent of Americans have basic reading and computing skills. One out of every twenty Americans lacks the ability to understand what is going on in the world or to develop an informed opinion for voting.

this is why they go in the army,someone takes care of the paperwork and tells them what to do all they gotta do is follow orders,sad isnt it .

armysniperwife20

neither, people who join the army are wonderful my husband joined the army and he;s perfectly normal thank you

AFwife

no, your just a coward

Kevin P

No military people make a commitment to thier country many beleive in but few commit to. They are dedicated, corageous and are often times the only thing that stands betwen our way of life and losing it.....they do not have mental problems any more than any other american does......they are to be deeply thanked for thier sacrifice .

blondie

Some may be insane, but has nothing to do with being in the military. Can you handle the truth?
NO!!

Zombie

For the most part they're just people. Many are trying to fund their educations by serving in the military. There are some violent types who just like to blow things up and, for whatever reason, believe it is a good thing to blindly take orders. But to suggest that they are all "crazy or insane" is crazy, or insane.
