This is how I imagine all animers in here are .

[Rumblood]

Funny, because 90% of my friends are ex military 

Sounds like these Anime kids. You like to hang out around people pretending to be something they aren't. I am quite certain that videos of your odd little rituals would look equally as strange and pathetic to those not in the group.

I'm just speaking anecdotally. I myself went through part of the culture circa ~2007 but was administratively discharged.

If my life depended on my brother-in-arms to my left and to my right, and especially some of the ones I would've had to rely on, then I was not my brother's keeper. They wouldn't've wanted me on their flank either, a bad link that didn't want to be on the chain.

 

Yeah, well, sounds like you couldn't hack it and blame the military for your own shortcomings. Administratively discharged, them not wanting you by their side -- you know it's a voluntary thing in the U.S., right? Obviously it's not going to be much fun if you're not suited for it, most people aren't.

these kids are just having fun, fuck you guys

[FleetFox]

Classic cosplayer in denial

Ok I admit it, I wore a Digimon suit when I was 6

I'm afraid a lot of people who are suited for service in the army are Panos alike, so definitely not the kind of people with whom I'd like to hang around.

Yes, part of the issue was when I went through boot camp is that EVERYONE "hacked it", including those people I talked about who I didn't want to have to put my life into their hands, and those who just talked about wanting to "kill hadjis" or just kill in general.

Also, last I checked the military wasn't supposed to be "fun" and I agree most people aren't suited for the ideology the military operates under. You tend to have a romantic, naive view of things at 19.

This video is like interviewing Kulin_Ban and saying that the whole crpg community is like him
Every group has it´s awkward weirdos, but most of them are just normal people

Also, costumes are fun, especially when you got a crappy Megaman-costume made out of bin bags for a superhero-themed student party

also: Panos, you´ve been in the military? What was your job/place? Infantry, medic, driver, radioman, demolition...?

[Nightmare798]

No not really, I don`t know how the military works over at the States, but here in Greece, military is very respected and also you get plenty of benefits.

I, personally joined the military for 2 reasons.
University fee discount, and to save up a very good amount of money.
Also my current, good paying job is thanks to my military experience, trust me bro, in a country that has 33% unemployment rate, getting paid 1000~ euros per month at the age of 24, is one hell of a big achievement.

Another proof that governments of the world spend taxes on all the wrong things.

Under 40 and EX-military (with all limbs still in place) means that they weren't suited either.

OH NO!

A POLISH ANIME LOVER DOES NOT WANT TO HANG OUT WITH ME, HOW THE FUCK WILL I LIVE THE REST OF MY LIFE NOW?

PLEASE KWAI FALKA, ACCEPT ME AS YOUR FRIEND.

Oh and something else, if you want to believe that those who join the army, do it because they`re dumb and want to kill people, then guess again, because not all of us have mommy and daddy to look after us, and we have to fend for ourselves.


For the rest, Xant covered me entirely, while I was serving, I met my brothers from another mother.

[Falka]

You're jumping to the wrong conclusions Panos. Since I've watched 2 animes in my whole life (Dragon ball and Samurai Champloo) I'm hardly anime lover. And I've never said that "those who join the army, do it because they`re dumb and want to kill people". I just think a lot of people - mind you: not everyone - who are willing to join the military are similar to you. Which is not good thing in my eyes  Btw, my grandfather was professional soldier all his life and as far as I can say he and his friends from the military were reasonably okayish.

[Panos_]

Yeah, people should be less like me, and be more like you and leshma 

[Falka]

Yeah, people should be less like me, and be more like you and leshma 

The world would be much better place if all people were like me

You really think going to the army means fending for yourselve?
You go somewhere where you are told when to eat, when to slep, when to run, when to drop into the dirt, when to answer, what opinion to have, not to talk back, always follow instructions,......
this is not fending for yourselve. this is giving up yourselve and be taken care of.
