I have been in the US Army reserves for 10 years and lately I have been seriously considering leaving.
This feeling has been growing since I came back from Iraq and most recently, this feeling surged as I had to endure an Army school where Azeris and Turks were being trained in the same school house!
To make a long story short, I'm disapponted, but I don't want to make a rash move as I have invested so much time in the Army...it's a part of my identity.
Anyway, I'm leaning on getting out...my gut is telling me to do so.
Decisions, decisions....

I think you should go with your gut. It's usually not a completely uninformed feeling. :)

I think you better stay at army and you shouldn't use Turks and Azeris as an excuse.

Turks and Azeris are just one reason.
Actually, speaking of the two that I saw (no joke):
The Turk captain was very feminine...he crossed his legs like a girl all the time.
The Azeri major was overweight and picked his nose a lot.
If this is the Turkish cream of the crop, Armenia has little to fear.

BTW, thanks for helping me make up my mind...I'll be submitting my letter of resignation soon.

If I may make an interjection kind sage.
Do get out of the war machine. You are but a cog in the greater engine of the globalist, neoconservative, Zionist, oil-soaked, imperialistic machine. You served for 10 years fine, now move on, for your own benefit. Do not stay attached to the belly of the State, for you are but their property.
Even in civilian life we are all subjects of the state and whatever power systems, since they exercise an effective monopoly of force in a given territory and collect money from us coercively on our privately held and earned property (taxes). But we are less subjects of the state in civilian life than when you are directly the enforcing arm of the state doing the bidding of dirty hacks like the Bush's, Clinton's McCain's and other goons.
So if you are considering, I highly urge you to leave that and start planting your roots in civilian life. It will be good for you.

You're right...every time is see Bush, McCain etc, I cringe.
I'm done risking my life for a country that is lead by people who consider it a piece of real estate.

I highly recommend you watch Why We Fight (http://forum.armenianclub.com/newthread.php?do=postthread&f=10).
I HIGHLY recommend it. It is so illuminating. You will not think the same about this country, the presidents, this government or our goals. It is superb.

Could you check the link...it didn't work.
The army might be a good experience for a few years but later on its better if u go on with life and experience the other joys of life

Good for you. I know you're proud of your service and you should be. I have two cousins who served in Iraq and they are now home and were able to get out of the Marines. Now you won't have to be sent on any adventures to fight on behalf of the oil companies, Israel, neo-cons, etc.

Yeah considering the american military no longer truly serves the interests of the people, but multi national companies, israel and other globalist outlets, it's a shame to waste ones youth and possibly die for those greedy fuc*s.
One good thing though Crusader, when you move to Armenia you now have a good chance of getting a job at the RA Minisry of Defense.

I would love that, but my Armenian language skills are piss-poor. I would need an aid with me to translate...that would actually be a great way to learn the language fluently.
Perhaps i can serve a s liaison officer to NATO countries. :D

Exactly bro! You should really look into that, I don't see why you at least wouldn't have a chance especially since you have served in the armed forces of the u.s. and know english, plus your Armenian will improve. I would want that job too! :D
