Stay Army or Go?

[crusader1492]

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....

Re: Stay Army or Go?

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.

You are welcome. I am glad that I helped you. You can ask everything at any time you want. We Turks and Armenians are brothers-sisters. We must help each others when we are confused.

I highly recommend you watch Why We Fight.

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.
