He's a marine, they pretty much are all insane psychopaths. Maybe a few exceptions, but you need a special kind of stupid to join the Marines.

I love it. This is a quote from a Taliban commander near our AO in 2011.

"We will not fight them, they are not normal Marine. They run at us when we shoot them. If we fight them, we die... They are worse than the sons of Satan."

My 2nd firefight, we got ambushed out in open desert while doing a foot patrol around our village. RPGs flew over our heads. We laid down automatic fire, and immediately began bounding. The enemy had constant fire, and every time they turkey peeked, we were closer and closer.

I ****ing loved it. The tactics of the Marine Corps are so simple and so amazing, the aggression behind it all.... I ****in love it.

True, but the sheer level and amount of atrocities being committed there...

America is still a 1st world country, remember that.

If you are young and healthy enough to fight, why don't you get a job and pay your own way there?

I think in many ways I'll get even more support, from the Kurds themselves. From what I'm seeing, I'll be working close enough to see the enemy, as well as the people I'm trying to protect. We won't have air support, but it's not like that **** helped in Afghanistan until after the shooting started anyway. Plus ISIS doesn't have air support either, which is definitely the most important part.

And Tom Collins, you're just weaksauce. Simple as that. "Special kind of stupid", how about some of the bravest men that ever set foot on the battlefield. I wish I could lock you in a room with a bunch of WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam Marines in their 20's.

All of europe except germany = pussies
China/Japan/far east = inept and focus on thier own domestic issues
Australia = uninvolved pussies
Africa = inept
South america = inept

So yeah, thanks to the OP for traditional service and his current plan. And **** europe.

Because that entails another month of rent, and another month of bills, and it's gonna take longer than face value. Why not ask if anyone wants to help send me there? I've sold my PS4, trying to sell my truck, I literally am selling everything I own, which isn't much.

If you could join a mercenary group that paid you, would you? What if it was for something not quite as noble as fighting ISIS?

I'm not American, but is VA Disability something everyone gets or is it because you've been judged to have some sort of mental/physical disability related to serving?

If they found out what you were doing, would you lose it?

OP, is the $930/month you get from the VA disability pay? To get that much, you would have to be around 50% disability rated. If that's true, are you really healthy enough to go fight another war? Or did you lie about your disability and are getting over on the American taxpayers?

I'm just real old school. If you want something, you work and pay for it. I'm pretty sure there will still be bad guys in a month, but whatever. (And I've been locked in a room with lots of twenty year old Vietnam vets, but all we did was get high...)

No, I'm really impressed with what the Lions are doing. I'm definitely sold on being a part of them.

You're barking up the wrong tree, address the idiots who've never deployed to a combat zone raking in 100%.

I have 30% PTSD, 10% tinnitus, 10% cluster headaches, 10% foot pain, 10% eczema (wtf). Altogether, it's at 50%.

What about after you're done here? Would you actively seek out combat as a profession?

So you've got PTSD and you are planning on going back into combat?

Honestly, I was really good at my job. Like I said, my and my squad won everything. By my 3rd year, I was in amazing shape, and had paid attention enough in courses to have learned to lead Marines to the same level.

If there is a cause I believe in, and a means to get there, I'd seek out the opportunity regardless of pay. The $930 I get every month is my blessing to do literally whatever the **** I want in life and be "ok".

You'd only be proving my point. It's a shame our wars don't eliminate this kind of nonsense from our gene pool like it used to.

I'm not sure you should be calling anyone an "insane psychopath." You sound pretty creepy yourself, bud. In a really sick, detached way, I mean.
