PROS & CONS of joining the military (more specifically the Army)?

Question

more interested about the negatives, the stuff they dont put in the brochures.

Answer 1

The army is going to be what you make of it. If you go in thinking it's crappy and that you hate it ( a generally bad attitude) then you are going to hate it, no doubt. If you go in looking at the positives (like all the benefits you can gain) then you will do well and go far. There is a lot of BS, I won't lie...but just take it all in stride and it will be fine.

Answer 2

Limbs blown off, Exposure to biological agents , sterilization do to exposure to depleted uranium put to use in The1st Gulf War,  low pay,  rape by other soldiers in the army, sexual harassment of women soldiers,  sexism, prejudice against religion like Wicca if you are Wiccan,  possible use of nuclear weapons. Pros the usual lean mean fighting machine stuff.

Answer 3

I can't really think of anything they don't tell you, or common sense certainly should. It is what it is, and what you make of it. I wouldn't trade my time in the military for anything on earth.  

Answer 4

Pros- travel, comradarie, food and housing paid for, expierence.

Cons-dealing with tree hugging liberals who say the support the troops but actually spit in your face
