Serving in the U.S. military is an honorable ambition, however, our soldiers are being used by money corrupted politicians to kill innocent people so that a few rich people can have more wealth. Until we can get the corruption out of our government our soldiers will continue to be used, abused, sacrificed, and ignored. 

Private contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan are paid ten thousand dollars per month while our soldiers are paid around two thousand per month for much more dangerous work. When our soldiers get injured, sick, or get out of the service they are disrespected by the government with low quality veteran's services.

The war in Iraq is not about what happened on 911, or about weapons of mass destruction, but it is about controlling the oil wealth of the country, and killing the Jew haters, which is the entire population of Iraq. The war in Afghanistan is also about oil, and it is also about protecting the rich property owners who grow, process, and export heroin. If the U.S. goes to war in Iran it will be because the Jewish lobby wants to use U.S. soldiers as proxies to kill the Jew haters in Iran, just like they did in Iraq.

People who join the military usually do so because they are poor and see the military as a way to get a leg up by learning a trade, get some worldly experiences, and get some money so they can get a college education. However, once they get in they are often given stop-loss-orders that keep them serving, or they get killed, injured, or sick.

Cindy Sheehan's son was killed in Iraq on April 4, 2004 and she wrote a book, "10 Excellent Reasons Not to Join the Military", and following are her ten reasons:

1. You may be killed.
2. You may kill others who do deserve to die.
3. You may be injured.
4. You may not receive proper medical care.
5. You may suffer long-term health problems.
6. You may be lied to.
7. You may face discrimination.
8. You may be asked (ordered) to do things against your beliefs.
9. You may find it difficult to leave the military.
10. You have other choices.

I completely agree with Cindy, and my reasons add to her list. Don't join the military, and encourage others not to join. After we get the corruption out of our government it might be a better option, but until then just say "Hell NO!".
