He's already collecting close to $1,000 per month from the VA for an alleged disability...yet he's broke and healthy enough to work and fight.

Save your money, people, there's nothing to see here.

Got 2 Crystal Scimitars my dad bought in Saudi when I was born, a ****ton of Zippo lights (including the Moon Landing one that goes as high as $200, stoked), some military gear like a $1000+ Corpsman pack, and some stamps and coins my dad left me...

And wtf to your second question lmao.

Idk man, it's not just about the high. I was really good at my job, and hearing exactly what ISIS is doing to the Kurds is ****ing depressing. I can't sit around and express sympathy and take no action. I didn't after High School and I won't now.

SS Disablity =/= VA Disability Compensation. I'm broke because during my enlistment my dad was dying, and I took out loan after loan to follow him around on emergency leave, staying in hotels and eating adds up.

OP,

What did you get in trouble for?

pissychips turn down the volume or turn up the humor

OP, why have you jerked off for the last time?

Pissy,

How much on average would you say you paid for your suits, and where did you get them?

Started smoking spice in 2010. I was in a smoke shop, 2 Salty machine gunners were buying it, I was pissed at the world cause my dad was dying and my unit didn't want me to deploy with them because of it.

Smoked it for the next 3 years, earning all the recognition and awards I spoke of earlier in the topic. So did literally all of my peers (well, a huge majority of them).

Caught up with me 30 days before my EAS. 20 of us were jammed in a barracks room about to watch a KSTATE football game when a boot on duty ratted out the whole room...

Then I ****ed my ex-wife who had remarried and not told me. Adultery charge. To that, I pleaded not guilty.

*sigh* Not proud to say any of that.

youve clearly put a lot of thought into this! I dont at all see how trying to find a loan shark, talking to a random person whos name you didnt even get from their terrorist facebook page, and then stranding yourself in a war zone could possibly be considered anything less than a heroic thing to do. Godspeed warrior


seriously tho, I admire your passion and where your heart is, but you kind of seem like you are too stupid to know how to do anything other than leeroy jenkins it up after watching some random you tube vids. The world isnt going to be a utopia in a couple months, slow the **** down and make a calm intelligent informed decision about the best way you can help and how to do it in the best way for you. I seriously doubt its selling all your **** and begging for money so you can get to the otherside of the world as fast as possible

I find it really amusing that anti-terrorist factions are networking via FaceBook™

OP if you make it there can you please post a picture of a laptop with Facebook.com open in Chrome sitting in the middle of a battlefield?

At least I've put thought into it at all. I guess this is just as random as me joining the Marine Corps. What thought is there to put other than they want help from vets around the world? What exactly are YOU doing to even take steps towards a utopia at all? I'm not begging, but if anyone wants to help, I'd very much appreciate it, because I would.

I have no reason to not go, I was good in combat and I'm not married, no kids. I am able bodied to the extent they require and I believe in their cause, and that cause is that innocent people do not need to die to further anyone or anything's agenda.

The 21st century is a wonder

and lmao, sure. That'd be pretty funny

describe the type of combat you expect

I'm no skeptic but dont you get paid monthly and stuff?

Why not just sell your house/end your lease. Crash at a buddies place/your car for a month and take that check to the bank and get on a plane? I'm not for or against this idea but starting a gofundme/whatever when you have a steady income and nothing to lose just sounds ridiculous.

If you really believe in this fight you should take the appropriate measures. Living in your car for a month is perfect prep for your future.

Shop around for cheap flights. Airfare prices fluctuate a lot.

Well, anti-terrorist or terrorist, depending on what department of the US government you ask.

OP: you know that all your personal info could have been redacted from that right? We didn't need to know your name, address, next of kin etc.

From the videos I've seen, they are within visual distance of each other and literally watch each other and shoot when one side approaches the other. My goal is to become involved enough to get my own squad (a stretch), teach them the fundamentals of Fire and Movement/Maneuver, and conduct operations on their supply lines.

Also, dont you get the GI bill? If you squander a free college education that may be dumber than saying For the record, joining an official military that offers regular pay, housing, healthcare, pension, great training, respect amongst your fellow citizens, free college education, etc, is not quite as random as joining the ragtag paramilitary force of a group that may have been/could be tomorrow listed as an official terrorist group.

Yeah, I'm definitely gonna go rock bottom if that's what it takes, but like I said, it's chump change to some people, and I assume that there are those who will to contribute in anyway and I guess I'm just asking if anyone would help me out.

Best case scenario, surplus donations, I was gonna get some Night Vision equipment or something. But if I can sell what I have now, Ill definitely have enough just to get there.

It's ok I think, I'd like to believe nothing malicious would be done based on this thread... Naive. Those addresses are old anyway...

Elliott,

Fwiw I believe you're legit, think you have the best intentions, and wish you the best of luck in your journey.

I'd be more skeptical about joining them, but they have a lot of US Combat Vets among their ranks. No one who has returned has been charged with anything, unless they were fighting for ISIS. I get what you're saying though.

And I don't get the GI Bill. General discharge.

Thanks brother

I'm not knocking you, but there is a massive difference between hastily joining the Marines and hastily joining uh.. The Lions?

For starters, the Marines are an official part of the US Military. Your bosses would be somewhat competent at their jobs.

Also, it's a real thing, with an infrastructure.

There would also be no debate or question about whether or not you would be hanged or serve a life sentence if you survived and won.

Also, the Marines pays.

There are a lot of really, really big differences. One is a gang and one is the military. Again, not knocking your decision, but to act like these are the same is a bit crazy. Perhaps most importantly is that if you joined the US Military your airfare would surely be covered.

The second statement screams of naivety. This bad stuff is really bad but fools rush in. I hope you ultimately reach a better decision. The fact that you plain ole forgot about this real, paying, sanctioned French thing speaks volumes.

Also, consider that if you go over there to help US citizens that includes people like Charles Manson and Tom Collins.

No one show this guy the Kony 2012 video.

But seriously... there are bad people everywhere. Why did you choose to fight ISIS? Why not North Korea? Why not some African warlord?

Yeah, I mean it's worlds different in a lot of ways, but I joined the Marines to help people. Period. I knew that a 19 year old was dying at the time of my recruitment, and that someone would have to take his place.

The idea that a group could be the embodiment of evil so openly scared me, scared me to the point of wanting to become a tool in it's opposition.

Like I said earlier, I only deployed once to Afghanistan. After 5 years of training for war. I paid attention, I retained a lot of that knowledge, and my clock running out in the Corps doesn't mean it all went away.

Just reading into the atrocities makes me sick, and hearing them ask for help makes me sick, especially when all my friends wanna do is live in the 1st World and pretend it anything outside our comfort zone is alien.

how do you know this?
