Which part of US military....

What makes you think that the America you are living is any better?

Not everyone get's a break but for some, this is there break.

A) I don't know, I don't live in America.

B ) BS. There are always other ways of earning money than devoting yourself to fight and possibly die, unquestionably, for your government.

Always? I think not. Not everyone comes from a middle-class home with a decent education to get you into college with a good job. The military is a very valid way to pay for education as well as start one's adult life in a structured environment, something very many people need. Your convictions may speak otherwise, but that doesn't make them law.

The military is also a very valid way to get put in an unjust "war" in a ruined country, kept there beyond your will, and possibly never come home. That outweights anything else.

There are always alternatives to make money.

There's always a choice.

Go with something that can't hurt you so much. field medic or something like that. good money and good safety.

Field medics generally are the first to get shot in iraq.

If this was world war 2; field medic would be the best job since countries actually respect rules of engagement.

Truthfully, right now his best bet is to find something like the navy, they'll get pulled back much sooner than the regular infantry.

you're probly right. the topic starter just wanted something according to his education which was going to be a doctor, so my best bet is still field medic.

Sorry if I'm wrong but you seem confused about this thread the topic starter said they want to be a medic meaning save lifes not run around with a m16 rambo style.

Yes, and what do you think they mean by "Field Medic"? Sitting in the peaceful meadows of Narnia whilst waiting for the soldiers to be shipped back to you?

Hmm, do American field medics get a rifle or a sidearm?
Just curious.
