Is it smart for anyone to join the Army since Bush destroyed our country?

Mr. Vincent Van Jessup

No, it's still THE place to risk your life for slight material gain.

Go ride your skate board, little boy, and leave the serious discussions to the adults.

Yes the military still offers may great benefits and other opportunities you can't find on the civilian side.

Not for you. I would think that with your keen insight and fine grasp of situations, you would last about 2 minutes before getting yourself and others around you killed.

Look at pictures of Berlin after the surrender of Germany in 1945. Now THAT was a destroyed country.

Troll question by a skateboard geek!!!

Someday you will have to put the toys away and move to live in the real world sonny.

Your question is completely invalid, since Bush has NOT destroyed the United States.

I recently retired from the Army after 28 years. I'm not sorry I joined up, nor that I made as much of a career of it as I did.

But your results may vary. Offer void where prohibited.

Get your facts strait before you ask stooopid questions to adults.

hip lady wants YA fixed

it is the most noble thing to join. no matter who our president is.

Just me

We've been in the middle east since WAY before Bush. Clinton kept us there. Clinton was in office 8 years and couldn't get us out, in fact made things worse.

Our country is not destroyed. And although I feel other branches are better than the Army, the military is never a dumb thing, it's a very smart way to go.

You might want to ask that question, face to face, with the 4,750 who joined the Army and the 2,954 who joined the Army Reserve in the month of November.
BTW, all branches met or exceeded their enlistment quotas for that month and have consistently met or exceeded their quotas for every month since George Walker Bush was sworn in as President on January 20, 2001.

BUSH DID NOT DESTROY OUR COUNTRY. AND IT IS SMART TO JOIN... W HAT DOES BUSH HAVE TO DO WITH THE ARMY? NOT ONE PERSON EVEN THE PRESIDENT COULD DO THAT.
HOW ABOUT YOU SUPPORT THE ARMY FOR DOING WHAT THEY DO? SO YOU DON'T LIKE BUSH...OH WELL HE WILL BE OUT OF OFFICE SOON.

**** MY POINT IS HE WILL E OUT SOON, AND WE CAN'T JUST PULL OUT OF IRAQ, IT WILL MAKE ALL THAT HAS BEEN DONE THERE WASTED!

BUT WHYS...WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS.... AS EASY AS YOU THINK IT IS TO PULL PEOPLE OUT OF IRAQ, IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN....THERE IS NO WAY, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT IF YOU WERE EVER THERE.... IT WILL TAKE TIME, THERE IS ALOT OF PROGRESS HAPPENING

Not with that kind of attitude.

What part of the country do you live in? My part is just like it was before President Bush was elected. I live in Toledo, Ohio, it has been close to destroyed for a long time now but not as bad as Detroit.

Well, this is entirely my opinion but I gotta tell you, please don't take it out on the military.

Personally, I can't stand the current administration. They've politicized everything including the military, but the military and this country will survive this in the long run.

The military gave me a sense of pride, and duty, and the strength to stand up for what I believe in. I read lots of stories about "a military gone bad" in the middle east and they sadden me, but from a historical standpoint I know that it always returns to it's ideals, as a protector of the constitution.

that is a freedom thing but yet you can be without work or what was called treason.

What bush did wasn't right. but if no one joined the army thinking of what's happening today then in future when there's really situation no one would be there to protect us. so, you can't blame everyone for one man's action. may god protect those brave souls in army now

Jason K

yes, because after this year they'll be bringing them back home.

Chris

Wait until he lives office.

It's better to join the Navy than to get drafted into the Army. A draft will be instituted within 3 years.
