Good luck to you and your fiancee. ^_^
Personally, I would never enlist in the military period, so I would never have to face it. But then, with both of my parents being military perhaps I have had an unfair perspective of what they make you do. |

Just because you sign up for the military doesnt mean you signed up just to fight a war... I didnt sign up to fight a war, i signed up to get money for college, to get in shape, to get some disipline, and try to straiten out my life, and some reasons i will left unsaid...
oh shit im gunna be late to finally go get my military ID that i was suposed to go get like 7 months ago ahhhh... |

This country doesnt have its own nationality yet because all of the people havent mixed up yet and become just one race. |

Just by joining the Army and passing all qualifications I believe he can handle it :) Im 17 rite now. My original plan was to join the Marines. Went to a few PT and I was able to handle it. Changed my mind after I found out you got to carry around 50+pds backpacks most of the time. More if your a medic. I hate being weighed down when Im trying to walk/run. Joined the Navy instead.

That's not true, you don't have to be a certain race in order to defend the country YOU live in. If you are willing to die for it, then why shouldn't it be your country? |

you dont get it at all
i said that no one is from this country technically, thats why i said if you think about it.... right now, most people that live in this country are a mutt of different nationalities, but until all the people mix up in this country, to have similar characteristics, we won't have a country country okay, its not just me that made this up. many scientists that study this stuff have said this as their base fact of what their studying -_- |

the government doesn't care about you or me. they care about themselves and profits. i sympathize for you fiance, but despise the reasons for where he is.

The government dont force anyone to join any military branches. You do it voluntarily.

every nations' leader says that "our way is right"
every nations' leader says "the time has come to fight" and they use the common people to settle all their scores it's time that we refuse to fight in any of THEIR wars. QUOTE The government dont force anyone to join any military branches. You do it voluntarily. for now. |

 Quand j'étais jeune... Group: Staff Alumni Posts: 6,826 Joined: Jan 2004 Member No: 1,272 |
First, and for the record, I was born in Saigon, Vietnam, but I have been a natuaralized citizen in America for a while and I have lived here for the most part of my life. I consider the US to be MY COUNTRY. I spent the latter part of my childhood here. I rarely consider myself Asian-American unless asked on paper or else I'm just plain American.
America is the country that many ethnic groups can call home. I don't see why we cannot refer to America as "our/my country". If I cannot call it that, then I would say that I have no other country to call my own. A country need not to have one dominant race to be a "country country". By definition, if I can participate in the society and politics of a country, then I am a citizen of that country. If I am a citizen, wouldn't that make America my country if that is my preference? |
